TEMPLE, Texas — Two Texas pets are looking for your vote in a contest like no other.
Nationwide Pet Insurance is hosting its annual Wacky Pet Names contest, where unusually named pets from across the country compete to take the crown as having the most unique name out of the company's recently enrolled animals. This year, Texas is represented by two entries.
Stepping into the ring for the Lone Star State are Itty Bitty Kitty Committee, a cat from Dallas/Fort Worth, and Midsize Sedan, a tortoise from San Antonio.

If you're looking to come up with a unique name for your own pet, Nationwide also gave a list of tips, including using hard consonants and vowels to keep your pets' attention, avoiding "command-like names" that resemble common phrases, considering nicknames for longer names and making sure you feel comfortable saying the name out loud in public.
