100 Best Pet Rock Names That Won't Leave You Stony Faced
Gallery
Pet Rocks were collectible toys introduced in 1975 and later reintroduced in 2012.
They were marketed as an alternative to other pets. These rocks were usually stones from the Rosarito beach in Mexico.
While having a pet rock is a hassle-free experience, pet rocks come with instruction manuals that satirically give the owner tips on training and taking care of these 'quiet' pets. You can still buy pet rocks and take care of them by naming them, bathing them and even, making them listen to your favorite music!
However, naming pet rocks can be tedious because the name should always match your rock's personality! We have crafted a comprehensive list of pet rock names.
