Giving a baby the same name as a pet?

Gut says absolutely not!

We are really struggling for a boy's name we like. If one of your family pets (who came with the name) had a name you really liked, would you use it?

It's too weird, isn't it?

DH wanted to call DD1 after the dog his family had when he was young because he liked the name. I said absolutely not - although it was an actual girl's name, and not Rover or something like that.

I too had this dilemma, opted not to use the name annoyingly! I really love the name but it would be weird since my Mum also has a pet with that name too.
