Dog park that is! I just got back from taking Winston to the dog park, where it seemed like every one of his playmates had a human name. Here are the ones I remember:

Quinn (boy)
Riley (boy)
Fern
Austin
Daphne
Parker

Thanks for sharing. I'm almost as obsessive about pet names as ppl names...and I prefer ppl names for pets!

I have 4 cats and a dog and all my animals have people names. I just don't like the cheeziness of Mr. Whiskers, Buddy, Blacky, and any other pet name. My cats are Bailee, Rilee, Murphie, and Mollie and my dog is Isabella but we call her Bella. Each of their names suit them perfectly. I was at the vet the other day and this guy had his new puppy in there and her name was Gertrude and they called her Gertie. I thought how cute, I would never name my child that but it is very cute for a dog.

The first dog my husband and I had together was Mollie and now we have Murray, too. He's a cat. We also have Darcy Dee (dog), and two new kittens Shameika & Latoya. Last time around we tried Irish names on the kittens- Fiona, Murdoch & Bridget. Time before that, it was country music stars- Faith, Shania, Brad Paisley & Kenny Chesney... We just have no luck with kittens...

Gertrude IS adorable. My sister had cats as teenagers named Millicent & Beatrice...

Later, Ginger

PS- Eden is so pretty. Good luck!

I agree with carrubear_13, animals can have the same name as people. Last I checked there was no rule for that. I know sometimes they may be weird names, but thats okay and we all have our own styles. I have 3 dogs and 2 cats with human names. Lab-Kayla Lab-Sady Maltese-Meradith(we always call her Mera). My cats are Mia and Tia.

um, I don't think anyone is suggesting that there is. I posted this list because I LIKED so many of the names. My pets have always had human names, ever since I was a child
