Bender is such a cute, strangely appropriate name for a dog. Seriously, I heaved a big ol' mental "awww" when I read that, DtB.
I've never named a pet after a Futurama character, but if I ever do, I'm either stealing "Bender" or using "Zapp." The latter would be especially appropriate if I got a dog who humped everything that moved.

Not so long ago, we used to punish doubleposters severely, for wasting the board's resources!
And I have no Futurama named pets. Pets should earn their own names, not be shoehorned into roles already defined by the characters that originally held the names.
My cat is named Cliffy, short for Cliffhanger because he loves to climb up onto high places. I didn't name him that though, he was originally owned by my sister and brother in law. Usually I just call him Little Freak. Not like he cares what he's called as long as he's fed and given attention.

I have three cats: Turanga Leela and Philip J Fry. We just took in a third who has no name, but I was considering Bender or Clamps. Or maybe Nibbler. Not sure.

Now I also have the OTHER cat my sister and brother in law owned. I'm some kind of dumping site for pets they've grown tired of. This one is named Donut. His name used to be Sedona but I thought that was a little hifalutin' for an animal that eats kibble and bugs, and poops in a box. So he became Donut, and answers to that name perfectly fine. He also eats my food when I'm not looking, and wakes me up by doing gymnastics on my bed on days when I don't have to get up for work. Really, I just call them both little freaks when we're alone. It works for all involved. Edit - except "little freaks" is pronounced "widdle fweaks".

Hey, the candidate for the Bender name could also be larcenous, callous, greedy, and inconsiderate!
Like every other cat in existence.

Yeah, Bender would be a good choice, Hein. Congrats on the new addition to your family, Capper! Nearly all my cats have been rescued in some fashion or another, but so far I've managed to avoid becoming the "cat person" upon whom people thrust the pets they've become tired of. Only had one pet ever named after any character, that I remember, and that character was a cat. Hell, I'm not even sure that I can remember! Lessee... Kitty Puddles Hobo Herkimer Shadow Homer Spooky [unnamed kitten] Sweetie Jingles Patches Pythagoras Twilight [unnamed feral kitty] Kemutai Nezumi Pixel (from Heinlein's The Cat Who Walks Through Walls, of course) Honey Lacey
Surely I'm forgetting a few.

I feel that if I named an animal zoidberg I'd have a natural predesposition to treat it like Zoidberg.
Get a hermit crab and tiny dumpster for it. Careful, he's brittle.

Oooh, that is a clever idea. Get a hermit crab, name it Zoidberg, and supply it with a series of garbage items to use as shells as it grows.
Pics would have to be taken at every step of the trash-habitation, of course.
It'd be a challenge to provide items the critter would use as time went by.

Sounds like the sort of Thing that fascinates the folks Over at Reddit. But yes, it does sound kind of awesome. If I had a saltwater tank and lived near enough to the sea to go looking for hermit crabs, I'd start that this weekend. Hopefully I could get Zoidberg to use one of the clay Bender heads I've made as a shell at some point. That'd surely be worth a few bazillion upvotes.
