No. A child is a human being, not an animal. It seems a bizarre idea to me to raise an animal to such a high level that you'd want to honor it by naming a child after it. I would be offended if my mom had told me she named me after a dog.Now, just b/c a dog has a human name, doesn't mean you can't ever use that name. If you love the name Harold, but know a dog named Harold, that doesn't make the name off limits. It's the act of deliberately naming a child in honor of a dog that would weird me out.
