    LOL, Edward is a common name, but it's his FULL name that gets people to laugh.


    When Ed is boarded or goes to the vet, they always announce him as "Edward D Katz".

    People always get a huge laugh at that,

    From oldest to youngest -

    Reese - 'cause I thought she looked like a rhesus monkey when I first saw her.

    Abby - who actually has 5 names - Mary Alice Abigail Cyd Charisse. We chose Abby from her picture, but her foster kids had called her Alice from the movie Alice in Wonderland. Then, when those long slender legs came out of the carrier, I could only think of the dancer Cyd Charisse. She responds to any and/or all of the names

    Grady - started out as Little Gray - and then he grew and grew and grew - thus we dropped the Little.

    Charley - just because

    I have seen a few other animals with Peatree's name, but not with the same spelling. Most of them spell it Petrie. (Pea came with her name)

    I've only seen one or two others with the name Jester.... (Jester came with his name)

    I haven't seen any other animals named Dobby.

    I've seen one other animal named Bellatrix.

    I've seen lots of animals named Honey and Precious. (They came with their names)

    I haven't met any other animals named Harper, but it seems like a common name.

    My angel birdies were Hermione, which I've seen three other animals with the name name. Devynn, I've seen other animals named that but not with the same spelling. Dudley, haven't seen another with his name. Jacob, very common. And Weasley, which I have never met another animal with that name.

    Spook/Spooky is a common name for black animals, especially cats. Spook earned her name, though.

    Isis I found is a common name for cats as well. She's picked up a few nicknames since we've had her though such as Spicy cat, Space ball and a few others that aren't too terribly polite.

    Not sure how many hamsters (or other critters for that matter) are named Rodney but it seemed to fit his personality so the name stuck.

    I thought it meant does your pet have a human name. Inky and Shadow are both common names for black pets.
