But Naming A Dog 'Steve' or 'Helen' Would Just Be Creepy
-
Here's a vet's take on pet names. Do you give 'em human names? "Animal" names like Fido or Rover? "Creative" names as if you were Gwyneth Paltrow naming a baby? Human names mean, they say, that you're treating a pet as a child-equivalent, and as part of a stereotypical childless-couple-with-cat family, I can say, well, yeah. Ella may be a cat, but she's also our daughter-substitute. See? I can admit it.
