One of my co-workers recently bought a Madagascar hissing cockroach for a pet. I've told him about this website a number of times, so he wanted to look up a name for his new pet on here. He chose to name his new pet bug Oothoon because, according to him, it's close to ootheca, the cases that cockroaches lay their eggs in. (The cockroach in question is female.) I did tell him the name Oothoon is unrelated to the word ootheca, but I liked the pun.

Obviously, I wouldn't recommend Oothoon for a human child. But do you think it would suit a cockroach or other pet bug?
