I work at a veterinary clinic and I hear so many of the same names day after day. Be it a cat, dog, or small furry, the names seem to repeat themselves. It seems like everyone's name is Bailey, Riley, Bella or Chloe these days. I think the names are both cute, but definitely too overused for my likes.
That being said, I'm not exempt from using common names. We had a Thumper growing up. He was a cottontail that the cat (literally!) dragged in. He was always scared and thumping....hence his name. But, then again, I was 10 years old or so. We also had a cat named Fluffy. So, there you have it :biggrin2:.
I'd like to think my pet naming skills have gotten better over the years. I usually try to think outside the box. But, just wait, watch when I bring my new bunny home - I'll probably name him or her Cocoa or Muffin! Actually, promise me that y'all will knock some sense in me before that! Ha ha!
