You stay on your side of the fence. I think it's delightful to give pets completely ordinary mundane names.

I'd be conflicted. On one hand, I'm flattered. On the other hand, Rover is a weird name for a cat.

I named my cat Toby and now Toby is not a people name to me. I read the back of some crime thriller once because I was possibly going to buy it, but the protagonist's name was Toby and I couldn't stop laughing. Couldn't bring myself to buy the book.

Well that's my story, have a picture of Toby.

My friend's mom got a pair of dogs and named them after my friend and her brother. Don't worry, the dogs weren't a breeding pair.

Also as a kid I named my dog Maggie because at the time I felt it was unfair that pets get weird names. How would you feel if you were a dog and got the name Rover?

Turns out Maggie is a super popular dog name.

If you don't observe your pets for a month and then name them based on their behavior then get the gently caress out of my face.

What does the DQ stand for? Disqualified? Because he only has one ball? That sucks.

And yeah, pretty much every animal I've ever cared for has it's name at the vet recorded as something stupid like Kitten A or Dog 4 because there's no way I have a proper name for it yet. Then, months later, they end up earning names like Conglom, Horn-Head, Devis Devis, Black, Mumbashi, Fatty and so on. If only we were allowed a period of time before formally naming our children instead of scribbling in whatever dumb poo poo sounds good when you and your wife haven't slept for 57 hours and just want to lie down instead of filling forms.

All cats should simply be named "cat" and I refuse to call them anything else. Same with pretty much any other animal. If there's more than one present, you can call them "grey cat" and "white cat" or "small horse" and "large horse" or whatever. Only dogs deserve real names.

Some people decide on a name before the baby is born to avoid being put on the spot like that.

God drat it, Tiggum. You can't possibly have thought I was being serious in that part of my post. I swear you're like some rampant AI from an ancient, alien culture that was programmed to only focus on the hyperbolic portions of posts and point how they don't make sense to the rest of the highly efficient, and properly functioning machines.
