It’s interesting isn’t that dogs used to have names like Rover, Fido, Spot, Butch, Rex, or Buddy. Nowadays people tend to use human names for dogs. Likewise cats used to be Tiddles, Whisky, Fluffy, Treacle, Ginger, Murphy, or Brandy. Now they also get human names. It’s interesting isn’t it?
Look at on-line lists of dog names and you’ll know to avoid Bella or anything else very popular. All my animals have proper human names. My last Cavalier was called Alice.
My GS’s dog is called Kevin, none much weirder than that. Last time at the vet with my cat Molly we met an adorable puppy named Mabel, I loved that name.
I can’t wait till school rolls have names such as Fido, Rover and Tiddles on them. Surely it’s only a matter of time before such names are rediscovered?
