Over 600 Funny And Cute Squid Names

I think most people think of those delicious calamari rings every time we think about the word ‘squid’. Or is it just me? Truth be told, some people like to keep live squid as exotic pets, even though they aren’t the most social creatures.

Squids aren’t easy to take care of. They have some specific tank requirements, are pretty sensitive to the general quality of the water, and will usually have a really short lifespan. These are just some of the reasons that make them hard-to-raise pets. If you’re a really big fan of cephalopods or really like squids, you will have to learn about the best way in which to take care of them and offer them all the needed conditions to have a good life.

The world of exotic pets sees more and more people adopting squids. Even though they will need a lot of your time and consistent maintenance, they are very intelligent creatures and will be very fascinating in an aquarium.

Squid Names from Penguins of Madagascar

Penguins of Madagascar was aired in 2014 and is one of the most popular computer-animated comedies, a part of the Madagascar movie series franchise. The stars of the movie are four penguins that are planning an elaborate conspiracy. Their end-game is to stop an evildoer called DR. Octavius Brine from conquering the world.

This movie has got the interest of a lot of people, but especially children. Even though the characters of the movie are penguins if you’re a big fan of the movie you can name your squid as one of the characters.

Skipper – This is the leader of the gang and the only one who makes the shots for all of the team members. Although his ways seem weird at first, his determination always leads his team to a successful end of the missions they start.

Kowalski – This is the tallest and the thinnest penguin, but at the same time, he is also the smartest one of them. He is the one behind Skipper’s elaborate plans and helps the team find great escapes from hard situations.

Rico – Rico comes from Antarctica, is mute but very loyal to Skipper. He is the one that always acts very rationally. This penguin is portrayed as a crazy penguin with a scarred face and spiked hair in the TV show made after the movie.

Private – This penguin is the most naive member of the team, mainly due to the fact that it is also the youngest of them all. He features a squeaky British accent and has very large, bulgy eyes.
