No, just the opposite...I hate "cutesy" animal names. I'm not a cutesy person. My dogs are Zeb & Esther (named after the grandparents on The Waltons). My house cats are Larry & Lucy. Barn cats are Albert, Morris, Fred, Bob, Carl, Clarence and Fluffy. The husband named Fluffy, I named everyone else.

No. I only give pets human names. I feel silly calling animals Fluffy or Mr Snuggles or something - it seems so infantile.
I pick the names by giving them the name of a famous person who has a birthday on the day I buy or acquire the animal.
I think it's a fun system!
My dog's name is Princess Margaret Rose - Maggie for short.

I personally think it all depends on the dog, but for the most part, I think it's hillarious. A friend of mine has a pug, and he named it Harold. I went round there once for a meal and he had the dog on a tall chair at the table with us in a little baseball cap and a turtleneck eating from his bowl. My friend would say, "come on, eat up harold, it's nearly time for desert", and I would just crack up.
That's my opinion anyway. Just think it's funny.

It has been said , that people who name their dogs human names actually are more humane with their animals than those who call their dogs "doggy names"

Pets are thought of as members of the family so I think it is wonderful.

I like "human" names used for animals better than "fluffy" or "spot"...

No because some people refer to them as their best friends.So it's ok to me.
