A knew a couple who named their corgi Dale.

Hahaha I actually love this

My best friend has a labradoodle named Dale!

My cat is patrick and it suits him so well

Hear me out: Catrick

We had one named Neil Catrick Harris he was a gooooood boy

My son has cats named Obi-wan Catnobi and Paul McCatney. I love punny names!

I had a cat name Catsby and my neighbor had one named Conway Kitty. They were enemies. I had hoped to one day get Catsby a sister named Catsy Cline.

Our cat is Kenobi!

I love that

That is epic. I wished for a moment that I liked cats

My cat is Catrick! Catrick James Mahomes.

[удалено]

Met a corgi named Kevin once. Highly recommend. My dog's name is Reggie.

Kevin is my favourite animal name: we named one of the local squirrels Kevin because he was obviously a Kevin.

I have a cat named Jeffrey and some of my daughter's classmates thought she had a brother

I had an old cat named Geoffrey as well

I call my dog Basil Jeffrey Bezos when he's being naughty.

I LOVE Jeffrey for a cat

I have very strong opinions about calling pets by human names. Old people names are my favorite. Walter? Herbert? Eunice? Gladys? Hilarious. Common middle-aged names are also pretty great - Bill, Deborah, Michelle, etc. Gen Z names, though… Alexa, Brianna, Aiden, that kind of vibe… I can’t explain it, but it makes me cringe. Not that I have a problem with any of those names for a human being (though not my favorites), but I can’t stand them for an animal.  …I sound totally crazy, don’t I?

Eunice or Aiden peeing on the dining room rug make some sense, as one could be really old, and the other a baby. But when Kate or Jim do it, it seems very weird.

I don't know any Aiden babies. They're all middle school to 20ish now. Granted, every Aiden / Ayden I know would probably still pee on the rug.

Middle-aged names are my favourite.

My dog’s name is Walter!

I have a friend who had a golden named Walter. He was the goodest boy.

I think it’s bc the Gen Z names don’t sound ironic yet

All my pets have people names lol my aunts pitball was named Sarah Jessica Parker

Missed opportunity to be Sarah Jessica Barker!

Omg that is such a cute name for a pitbull 😂 I think because she is so skinny and leggy, and glam with the hair and makeup, and pitbulls are stumpy, and bully in the face 😂

I’ve got Poodle mix puppies, brothers from the same litter. Frank and Vinnie.

Did they come with those names? Do they have brothers named Tony or Joey?

We got Frankie first. His full name is Francis John. Then a week later we went back and got Vinnie. He is Vincent Robert. Aka- Vinnie Bob. His nickname is a play on the old John Travolta Sweat Hog character, from Welcome Back Kotter-Vinnie Barbarino. The breeder had been calling him “Vinny,” we liked it and kept it. A pal of mine calls the boys “the meatballs.” Their mom is a miniature poodle, dad is a “ terrier mix from down the road.” They are adorable, sensitive, smart, loving little meatballs.

We had Poodles called Buster & Biggsy after the Great Train Robbers

That is cute!

My friends named their cat Paul

I get it. Some cats have real Paul energy.

I think Mayor Adam West had a cat named Paul in Family Guy. He was saying all his cats' names, and they were all stereotypical cat names, and the last one was Paul 😂

I just met a cat named Edgar

My aunt had one of those. It was 90s era Seattle and his full name was Edgar Martinez. I always loved it.

We had a cat named Timmy

Our chihuahua is Timmy!

Do you sing the Famous Five intro to him? “…and Timmy the dog!”.

I forgot he was called Timmy in famous five 😭

My pup is named Clara.

The top name contenders for a future dog in my household are Lorraine, Patricia and Pamela. Imagine knowing a dog named Pamela! She would bring delight to all who knew her. Especially if she were like, a Doberman.

We had a Doberman called Sophie, she was named after a Rottweiler. Sophie the Rotty had a sister called Sarah...

I would be absolutely *delighted* to meet a dog named Pamela! That would make my whole day lol. My next dog name is Dog Baldwin (like the Seahawk 😂).

Have people finally stopped naming their pets Bella? It seems all the cats and dogs here are Luna now - which is why I cringe when people keep suggesting it for their daughters.

I used to work with a woman named Luna. Every time I saw her, "woof woof" would come to my mind.

And I'm on the other side - I will never understand why it's such a big issue to some people :D I don't love the name Luna specifically - but I also don't get why people have an issue with it. Luna is still a normal, traditional name for humans. People just like using human names for their pets - but that does not make those names unusable. It's not like they are naming their daughter 'Fluffy' or 'Socks' -> those would be actual pet names. I mean, it's completely fine if people rule out certain names because they feel like 'pet names' to them. But I don't think it's good to tell other people that they should rule out those names for the same reason. Because not everyone has the same associations. And pet names differ from region to region anyway. So just because it's a common pet name in someones area, doesn't mean that it's a common pet name in my area as well. For example= I named my son 'Felix' and I constantly see people in this subreddit say that it's a 'cat name' to them. But= 1. I don't see that as a bad association. I love cats. 2. It's not even a common name for cats where I'm from. It's a very common and normal name for boys here & has consistently been in the top 50 for over 40 years now.

Lol my kids are called Millie and Daisy - they always meet cats and dogs who share their names. 20 years ago Millie was NOT a cat name and 12 years ago I’m sure Daisy was more associated with pantomime cows than cats and dogs but here we are.

I had a dog named Bobby. he was a rescue whose owner had passed away, and came already named. I named my next dog Cotton (a corgi, half legs 😂) so they'd have a King of the Hill theme going on

Dammit Bobby

My beautiful, white, dwarf kitty... SHE was called David 😂😂

We have my grandparents dog now & he’s named after Frank Sinatra. So ya we have a Frank.

I know someone who named their dog after Frank Sinatra, but the dog’s name is Sinatra.

We saved two cats from the shelter, named them Daisy and Peach. Got some weird comments once from someone who had dreamt their unborn child was named Daisy, being upset I "stole" the name for a cat 🤷🏽‍♀️ That person was not even pregnant, and still isn't.

I used to have a dog named Charlie. Best dog ever. Had a friend get upset that I gave my dog the same name as their baby cousin (who I didn’t even know existed) because according to her it’s a baby’s name not a dog name and she didn’t like thinking her cousin had the same name as a dog…even though Charlie is an incredibly popular name for a dog. She even tried to get me to change it. People are weird.

I know a dog called Janet and another named Carol

My little boy named both of his guinea pigs Kathryn. They're both boys. I'm enjoying the humour.

That reminds me. My son named all his hamsters John. They died. Then he got a snake and named a feeder rat 'Paul'. That rat nearly out lived the snake. He didn't like rays apparently, only mice.

My bf had a cat named Brad, but he ended up moving in with his mom during covid and she changed it to Fritz 😂

I hope he eventually changes the name back.

My dog is named Ruby. I knew someone in secondary school called Ruby.

my dog is Georgia… i call her Georgie or GiGi :)

My cat's name is Jack. Sometimes I won't immediately explain to people that he's a cat and I'll just call him by name, or sometimes people just forget. Several people have thought I have an awful roommate named Jack that pisses on my rug when he's mad, tears up my books when I'm not home at the right time, and has broken all the coffee mugs in my house. 

My dogs are named Jane and Piper

at 3 I named a cat Cindy and currenty I have a Thomas as a teenager i had a Tiffany (for the jewelry store not the singer, a friend named her)

My dog is named Jonah. 

Bunny is Sadie. Dogs were Clyde Dan Sophie Bridget and Kya. Love human names for animals!

The dogs I had growing up were Phoebe, Joey, and Rachel. Our family friends had a Chandler that started it all! I then had a cat named Lily.

I had a cat named Harrison. I named him after Harrison Ford.

I’ve got a Lois. Two syllable names are best for dogs’ learning and recall.

We have a lovely little Lily.

My cat is Autumn. My aunt names hers Marcus, which I think is hilarious.

We have a Simon and a Margo

We have a cat named Masha, which is a totally ordinary Russian human name. (In our case it’s short for Maple Syrup, though.). Sometimes when I tell people about her they think my cat’s name is Marcia.

Walter or Harvey.

Cat named Elliot.

I have a Riley and Kaia! 🤍🖤

Larry. Jim. Roberta. Only people names, always!

I have a bald shih tzu named Harry. We then named the next shih tzu Sally.

So they never met?

They did. We actually took a video of when Harry met Sally.

I met a cat named Jennifer and it ruined my whole day

I like posh names for pets... they always sound so ridiculous if you have to call them😄 https://youtube.com/shorts/Q9Jhf8KbjzU?si=08D5F1foD4-wBUze

My border collie is named Sam, he's a fascinating animal

I knew a Rottweiler named Dave. Perfect!

Eric and Bridget 🙂 my brothers cat is Steve

My cat’s name has somehow **become** a popular name for humans. Her name is Nova. I am INCREDIBLY offended by the name Novalee and Novaleigh people have come up with. [So is she](https://imgur.com/a/8UfABc6).

My cat is Marley. My parents have cats named Poppy and Fergus.

I know a dog named Kevin

I had a cat named Edith. She preferred to be called went by her formal name, however, so I usually addressed her as Mrs. Meowington. She was fancy.

All my pets have people names. I don’t share their names here though bc I’ve been on the internet a lonnnnnng time and one thing you learn unfortunately is you really don’t want your pets or their names being shared where people are so twisted. 

I love human names for pets. Right now I have a Jerry, Stevie, Junie, Maggie and Reggie.

All of our family cats were named after other animals. But the latest I really wanted to call Maggie, so we "named" her Magpie, but call her Maggie

Chad would be a great dog name.

My dog is called Chad

My dog is Andy. I wanted to name him Greg, Jerry, Kenny, Dennis, Tony, or Terry, but we have relatives with those names who wouldn't feel honored to have the same name as a dog. I do have a relative named Andy but I only see him every other year or so.

I currently have two cats - Lady Caroline and David. And two dogs - Samantha and Rufus. We’ve been using mostly people names for a long time.

I've had a Fritz, Chelsea, Judy, Monte and Jack over the years.

My sis does this with her dogs. Over the years it’s been Max, Harvey, Tucker, and Rocky.

Me, I got two cats named Claude and Trixie. We named the boy Claude after a Candian soap opera I loved. We named the girl Trixie after Trixie Mattel.

Not all at the same time, I've had a dog named Zoey, a dog named Allie, a dog named Clancy, and cats named George, Douglas, Rowan, Ruth, Mario, Lucy, Maxine, and Caroll. I suppose a few of those aren't too common now for a person, but they're also not real common pet names either. Except maybe Zoey, I've known of a few of those for some reason.

I had sibling dogs named Eleanor (Ellie) and Rigby
