When it comes to naming a new pet, inspiration can come from just about anywhere—even Martha herself. After all, if your happy place is a lush perennial garden or a buzzy, fragrant kitchen (or you consider this summer’s trending "decorvow Aesthetic" your signature style), why can’t your pet’s name reflect that? 

Fortunately, Martha’s life, style, and sensibilities make for rich naming territory. Think food-forward monikers that nod to homemade favorites and baking staples; botanical and nature-inspired pet names that sound like they were plucked straight from Martha’s gardens; and historical deep-cuts that honor Martha’s legacy and own beloved animals (ahem, Chin Chin and Paw Paw).

Whether you’re welcoming a curious kitten, a rescue pup, or a charming backyard hen, consider this collection of pet names that draws directly from Martha's aesthetic universe.
