Go ahead, I stole it from a sitcom in the '90s.
I actually named my cat Stretch for reasons that invariably makes people look at me funny. Fortuneately he grew up to be a very long cat.
Can I steal Atticus Fish? I have a Jack Dempsy I'm currently calling "Pretty Boy" that I'd like to rename.

I've got a pet name like that, but it's very Canadian. I want to name a dog Sir Woofred Laurier. Everyone thinks it's stupid.
I'm allergic to cats, but I'd consider letting my girlfriend get one if she named it Chairman Meow.

Hahaha... "Sir Woofred"... it IS dumb, but it's also funny.

On geekiness:
You look at a tour bus and think, "It lacks acceleration and speed, but makes up for it in armor and payload."
On pet names:
I've long considered getting a dachsund and naming him Helmutt. You have to give dachsunds German names or pseudo-clever approximations thereof; it's a law.
On sport-or-not:
I would agree with the competition proviso, but would add that along with that--and in special circumstances without it--a sport can be defined as any activity that can potentially lead to hospitalization or death.
This is why I count band, due to the fact that, during my brief and not-at-all-missed stint in a marching band back in junior high, we could pretty well count on at least one person to collapse from dehydration or have a seizure or something every time we did anything. I can't speak for my bandmates, but I didn't personally find that to be such a great thing for the ol' morale.
Alternate sports definition: "Any activity that I don't like."

I used to know a goat named Atticus Finch. (Since I know Justin has a strange fascination with the goats in my life.) I only got to name one of them myself though. She was huge, had a terrible temper and used to try to kick the snot out of me. I christened her "Goatzilla".

...you deliberately choose to play Megadeth as your background music for your final battle against Ganondorf.

-You find that as you watch any movie or read any book, you try to draw parallels to the ideals of British romanticism. And normally it works.

Your cat is named after a genus of squid. (Loligo.)
Oh, and by the way, folks: don't EVER name a dog Schatze. It will turn out to be evil. Really. Especially if it's a small dog. It's even worse than Fluffy.

Your cats are named after Elizabethan writers. So far we have Shakespeare, Marlowe, and Nico. (My brother got to name the last one.)

You know you've raised a geek when:
Your daughter expresses outrage at the goings on at her father's place - too many chores, not enough time for homework, out of control siblings, etc. and follows up with, "That does it! I'm calling a mandatory family meeting next Tuesday and I've already designed a PowerPoint presentation for it!"
Man, I love that kid!

You know you're a geek when you don't decide what to wear based on color coordination or things like that, but on what will reference something that's most likely to amuse your company.
Movie geek pals- Army of Darkness shirt.
Trip to museum- Sue the T-Rex shirt.
Sunday- Evolvefish!
In case of kids, break out the Venomous Snakes of the World t-shirt. It's educational!
In case of old people, break out the Queen shirt.
Etc.
Also, geek cat name: Purrdog.
