I’m curious to hear what you named your dog, or cat (or any other pet you want to include).

and what do you think of human names for pets? I really like them, especially older people names like Mable or Frank.

All our dogs have been rescue dogs who came with an established name. They've lost everything else; so however crap the name is we keep it.

Dog is Charlie, cat is Adolph due to unfortunate markings including a square, black moustache.

I do know someone whose westie is called Karen which never fails to make me laugh when I hear them shout at it to 'stop humping the cushion Karen'

My sister's male dog is called 'stop humping your sister, you're related"
Both dogs have been done, doesn't stop him trying though.

I have a Zuzu. I recently met a Bowser, who was a miniature schnauzer and Mushroom, who was some kind of terrier!!

They usually give guide dogs human names. Once came across someone called David. His guide dog was Dave!

I know someone who has a (now retired) guide dog called Ricky and her new one is called Arthur.
