The Table
| Animal Name | Name Rating /10 | Cuteness Rating / 10 | Uniqueness Rating /10 | Total Rating /30 | Review |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Aardvark | 4 | 4 | 6 | 14 | name sounds fun but is etymologically boring. pretty cute, but not adorable. pretty unique looking, but not to an astonishing degree |
| Aardwolf | 3 | 5 | 5 | 13 | name is derivative and boring. cuter than the aardvark, but not as cute as some other similar animals, but looks meek. kinda unique but liike not really so. |
| Abyssinian (Cat) | 7 | 9 | 5 | 21 | very cool name, because it sounds like abyss which is a very fun word. the cat is also known as abys sometimes. which is pawsome. it's a cat ! so it's very cute. also pretty unique for a cat, but a cat nevertheless. |
| Abyssinian Guinea Pig | 5 | 7 | 4 | 16 | why so spiral... decent name but we already had an abyssinian cat so... as a guinea pig it is pretty cute. not very unique though, other than the spiral-y nonsense. |
| Acadian Flycatcher | 5 | 7 | 3 | 15 | oh my god those colours are gorgeous. name is okay but a little boring. very unique colours for a bird i think. love the greens so much !! |
