They're kinda in the middle. I rarely bump into another dog named Mandy, but I have met a few. However it's by no means unique. I've never met another dog named Nova, Luka or Buck. I've only run across one Buck, one Nova, and two or three dogs named Luca on a couple forums. And actually, the Lucas are all male and of course are spelled differently. ;) I generally like more unique names, probably because my name is so common that I rarely even respond to it when people say it unless if it sounds like someone I know :p
I suppose a few would be considered unique:
-Khaith
-Garber
-Durbin
where I live they are.......hehe theres no other Ninja or China around.......LOL
my birds are called Maui and Pablo.....not too unique but not too common either unless you are a person named Pablo.......haha , that oneīs a peoples name here.......
I tend to like rare, unique, not so common names because I like them a LOT.....
sarah: I love Nova and more Luka, very unique names here too, but Luka has something about her I canīt explain.......Mandy and Buck Iīve heard a few times.......
zippy: other than zippy and pumpkin...Iīve heard before
We have never met - nor even heard of - another Miss Hoppy, though they may be out there somewhere!
I doubt there are many other gerbils named Nightshade! :p

Woohoo! I'm unique! :D
I expect there are plenty of other pets called Tia, Twilight and Ebony. ;)
all of mine are original ;) except Miagi and Jenny are unique. not everyone names their pets Miagi or Jenny. :) with the others, too common.
Not the least bit... I've met a few other Jen/Jenny/Jennifers. ;)
No, not really. I haven't met many other dogs named Winston (probably because most people feel the same way about the name as I do it seems - I hate the name), but it's certainly not unique. Morgan is somewhat common. In the year we've had her, I've met about 6 other dogs named Morgan. Tango is somewhat common. I've met quite a few dogs with her name, all were male though.
The Dachsies both have pretty common names. I've met tons of little dogs with both of their names.
Maybe a couple of them. Shadow, Jack, Batman, Henry, Elvis and Jasper are all really common but I haven't met very many Kyras or Motchkas.
I think my pets have fairly unique names for animals, but maybe not for people!
I haven't met any other Martas or Adeles in the dogs world.
Seine might be common, but I don't think it is around here.
Pippin is probably common.
Vallis is not- I've never met another, but it suits him since it means "a Welshman." :D
In person, I've met Simba and Nala's but never Kiara or Mufasa.
I think the only animal in our home, that has a unique Name would be Loki.
Rutherford, while not an unusual name, I have never met another pet with that name.
Biddy White Whiskers is probably the only one with his name, too.
Otherwise they are all names that others have used before.
(Amber, Ashley, Bonnie, Calvin, Fern, Hamlet, Jasper, Jim, Kim, Mickey, Monte, Shilo, Simba, Sterling, Willow)
I guess a couple are unique
Goddess Goofball (Goofy)
Belladonna (bella the cat he was the girl who daddied the litter)
Sequoia (havent met too many dogs named that)
Io (Karen named him after Jupiters moons since he is a fat red cat)
Obsidian the Dull (he isnt the brightest Kitty in the box)
and Lady Gummypig (my stepson couldnt pronounce guinea pig so it stuck)
I have a few unique names in this house.
I've never met any other dogs named Nacey
We also have a ball python named "OneDay".
I'd probably consider Bitsy, Nova, Raisin, Sundae, Split, and Flutters to be "less common" names rather than unique names. The rest are all pretty common names.
One of my best friends has a female chow mix named Tango and a chihuahua named Morgan! I don't think I've ever told you that before.Quote:

All the other kitties there died from the infection. :( vita never showed any symptoms or problems.
Amber is usually a female's name. I haven't met other males. (Mr. Amber Cat - thought the kitten was a girl until I got in to the vet's; turned out to be a neutered male).
Sparkle is more common than I realized when I named her.
Chestnut, Ruffles, Crystal, Cuddles and even Dazzle are all common. As are Ebony and Sugar.
I've never met another dog named Kai in person.. but I've come across a couple online. It's not that unique but not common either.
I've never come across another Kaedyn though... probably cause I made up the name by playing with the word "Cajun". :p
probably (besides Tigger)
I wouldn't name a pet a common name now. I have seen (but not met) a few Niņos on breeders websites, Oslo is named after the Capitol of Norway and I have yet to hear of another pet who shared the name. Nuria is Spanish for God's Fire or something like that and I've never heard any pets with her name. Terrence is not a rare or unique human name but it's uncommon in pets.
My Uncle Jake had a German Shepherd named Kai - it was actually short for Kaiser Wilhem, though, so maybe that doesn't count! I never got to pet him, as he was a guard dog before he was my uncle's, and didn't like little kids. Uncle Jake didn't want to take the chance that I'd go to hug Kai and get bitten! (The one scar on my face is from when I hugged a neighborhood dog that thought I was strangling him, so chomped my lip and I let go. I was just stunned,, more than hurt, I was probably four, and remember my mother very calmly explaining, as she bandaged my lip, that some dogs are just not "hugging dogs" and I should always ask before doing so.)Quote:

I think Nebo and Keva are unique names. I've groomed two other dogs named Nebo (a husky and a shih tzu), in Utah, I've never seen another Nebo online. I haven't met another dog named Keva yet, some online, but spelled Keeva instead. I will only name my dogs unique names, just a personal preference, but I also prefer them to be short/easy to pronounce names so maybe they are not as unique as they could be, but enough for me.
Sydney is somewhat unique, for a dog at least, its more common as a human name. I've met a few other dogs named Sydney.
Hmmm, some of my animals do. I've never heard of another dog named Rainy. We named her that because we found her in a pretty bad rainstorm and have had her ever since. I have a cat named Henry, and I rarely hear that name for a cat :p And we did have a cat named Nikka, sadly she passed away from cancer a while back.
To be honest I revere unique names. Unfortunately I don't have the choice of naming the animals that we come across because three other people need to agree :rolleyes: A pasttime of mine is actually going online and looking up Japanese, Irish, African, heck ANY names online and finding their meanings. A favortie I came across is Japanese, Kyoko, meaning a mirror. I'm using that name for the main character in a book I hope(but probably won't happen) to get published someday.
I've never met any dogs named Nebo or Keva either, but I did want to tell you that I saw a Nebo Street the other day! I thought of your cute Nebo of course. :)Quote:

Keisha came with her name, and I have met/seen online a TON of other dogs name Kisha, Keesha, etc. I don't actually like the name at all, but... oh, well.
I have never met or heard of another dog (or animal) named Cadet. I am sure there have been some, but I think it is a pretty unique name.
My animals usually have pretty unique names, it is actually pretty uncommon to catch me with TWO pets with common names.
As for the others... I think all my snakes have pretty unusual names, too. Anyone else know any snakes named Kitten, Oedipus, Rex, Ruth, Venna, Kokopelli, Mercy... the list goes on, but none of them are any I consider more or less common than that.
Zoey is a pretty common name, but I love it. I have never met any dog's named T.j, but it's not really unique. My fish are fairly uncommon (Jedi, Salt, River, and Cal), ducks are pretty popular (Waddles, Puddles, and Quackers), and the cat's names are not very popular, (Kendy, Keshaw, Kasey)
Lets see-Nitis is unique, and Uno. I've never seen another dog named Sprinkles or Triskit. I believe Whino is unique (this is not a reference to drinking). And Novie is. And Jaws. I don't know how common our cat Aza's name is. Everybody else's is pretty common. I try to name my animals unique names.
Chloe definiatly is not a unique name..i guess Malakai is a unique name, at least around me, ive never met another malakai. :)
some of them:
Perky I dont hear often
Toivo I have never heard before
Happy I have never heard for a female before
Kari isnt common
Electra I have never heard before
the common and semi common names in my house:
Checkers
Puddin
Ripley
Misty
Blair
Kodiak
I don't think too many people name their pets Depot, but ever city in WI has a Depot street. Other uncommon names Caddis, Aphid, Kalooki, Ryu, Cho, 13 (yes the fish's name is 13), Horace, Walden. I don't know what constitutes unique.
I have one animal that I gave a pretty unique name...its my rabbit Kishii! I named her Kishii because she is black and Kishii is the japanese name for 'Night' ...its suits her lol.
Bobo is kind of a different name too, that is my cat, but then again I've seen other people's cats named Bobo, like Catmandu's wonderful kitty named Bo Bo.:D
I wouldn't consider Anita a unique name, but I've never met another dog with that name, not even online. I'm sure there has to be another Anita somewhere, though. :)
I've never met another bunny named Baby before. Everyone else has common names.
Nope :(
My kitties names are very common: Angel, Snow and Mickey
I used to have a cat by the name of Rattling Diesel when i was younger. i think thats the oddest name i ever came up with,, or will ever come up with :o LOL
it was because she had such a LOUD funky purr.
but i voted no since the pets i currently have all have common names
I don't think there are too many Eika's out there. :)
Only one of my pets name can be considered unique, and that's my fishs name, Rio. I have never ever ever come across, even another animal named Rio, so I guess it is pretty uncommon. I hate the names I come up with, Sassy, Star, and Diamond are SO common.
ETA: One of my shrimps nam is pretty uncommon, his name is Jack Sparrow lol. :o
I definitely wouldn't consider my hound's name common... Noba... short for Oda Nobunaga.... and my cat, Jax, well he got stuck with a sorta common name!
I've alwaaays had dogs with unique names, well, mostly. We did have one Max... but that was when I was really young and had no say!
