Does your pet have a common name?

[Karen]

We often notice trends in Dog and Cat names in particular, though also in other pets. Names like Max, Bailey, Roxy or Tigger or Buddy - and I often wonder if vet offices ever get mixed up, or they use just a pet's last name for the record!

One funny thing - we usually tried to give unique names, but when we named Gracie, officially Grace, the Princess of Grace, we kind of didn't realize how close her name would be to the girl across the street, Tracy! We'd call, "Gracieee!!!" and several times in warm weather we'd hear Tracy hollering back, "What??" thinking it was one of her sisters calling her!

All of my furkids have had 'people' names, with the exception of RB Sassy.

I've had Casey, Ginger, Corey, Lacey, Mandy, Layla ,Jake, Missy, Angel and Tessa.

Tessa's real name is Contessa.

I suppose Ginger is considered a 'people' name.

Wolfy = Wolfgang - so a yes there



The kitties - Luke Leia, Harley, Misty, but a no for Pepper

RB Pets:
Myndi - of course
Sparky - don't know of anyone with that name.
Mortimer - cat
Sam - cat
Suki - cat - could be someone's name
Ming - cat - doubtful as a common name
Cinnamon - dog - a no there
Muffin - dog - another no
Peanut - cat - no again
Rocky - cockatiel - of course
Spook - cat - nope
Snuffy - cat - no to that
Tai - dog - yup
Bear - dog - doubtful
Scooter - dog - nope
Sherbie - cat - nope
O.C. - cat - not hardly

All of those RB pets have been in my life at some point in the last 50 years. No wonder there's so many holes in my heart.

Two of mine do.


Felicia

Cleo- short for Cleopas, a name found in the Bible.

A couple of mine have names I've heard before, but I wouldn't say they are common. Jax, Zoee, Taz
The unique ones are Taggart (even though there are two others here on PT!! ), Paizly and Zeplyn.
