Sense8 Dog Names

Introduction

Sense8 is an American SciFi drama series created by Lilly and Lana Wachowski and J. Michael Straczynski and released on Netflix in 2015. The title of the series is a play on the word sensate, which is what the main characters are, basically people with heightened senses who can feel each other and communicate telepathically, wherever they are in the world. The series follows the stories of eight people from all over the world who were “birthed” by a woman named Angelica, and they discover that they are linked mentally and emotionally and that they form a cluster of sensates.

Riley

Riley Blue is one of the main characters of Sense8, and also a member of the August 8 cluster of sensates. She is an Icelandic DJ with an amazing haircut, and she has trouble coming to terms with her new power. Riley also has a pretty amazing unisex name that she shares with Riley the Dog, an adorable Los Angeles based pupper who figured out how to attract attention and make people play with him.

In the age of social media, anything is possible, and almost anyone can become famous overnight, for at least their 15 minutes of fame. One of the dogs that managed to attract a lot of attention is the lovely Riley, a Golden Retriever rescue who lives on a quite a busy street in LA, which gives him plenty of opportunities to socialize with passersby. Each day, Riley props himself up on the wall that surrounds the property he lives on and tries to get the people to play with him. At first, he did get some attention but then figured out the perfect plan. He drops his tennis ball on the other side of the wall so the innocent stranger that walks by must pass it back to him. One of these excited strangers filmed the adorable doggo and posted the video on Twitter, and also submitted it to a popular Twitter account WeRateDogs. They shared the video and rated him 14/10, a pretty high rating for any doggo if we're honest, and their 7.9 million followers completely lost it! The video shows Riley hanging over the wall and dropping his ball to the nearest person who has to pick it up and return it to its rightful owner because that’s what good people do.

Many people chimed in to express their excitement, but some of his old neighbors also tweeted at WeRateDogs to tell them that Riley “has been at it for years” and that they loved living close to him because they got to pet a cute dog every day and help him have fun by returning his ball. Many people shared their photos of Riley, and as it turns out, the adorable Goldie is quite famous on Instagram and Twitter, always sharing adorable photos and little thought bits to his fans. Riley is quite a fashionista as well and can be regularly seen wearing fancy bow ties, scarves, and other accessories that make him look even more dashing than he already is.

Sense8 Dog Name Considerations

If you are a fan of the Wachowskis, you probably already know all about their works, especially the latest series they created, Sense8. The sisters are quite the creative duo, and they always come up with the fascinating stories for their characters which you can use as inspiration when naming your lovely doggo. So, let’s begin with Sense8 inspired names!

If you are a proud owner of a white doggo and you would like a name that matches their looks, you can go for Riley, after Riley Blue, an Icelandic DJ with amazing bleach blonde hair. Riley’s romantic interest and another sensate from the August 8 Cluster is a Chicago police officer Will Gorski, whose name is also fantastic for a doggo with blue eyes, similar to Will’s. However, if your dog is a class A actor who deserves an Oscar, you might be tempted to name them Lito, after Lito Rodriguez, a Mexican telenovela actor, a heartthrob who is trying to hide his sexuality for the sake of his job. Of course, we cannot forget Wolfgang, the Russian-German honest criminal, or Kala, an Indian beauty forced into an arranged marriage.
