Sure. "Spot" is a perfect name for your little darling.

As long as you like the name, what does it matter? Go right ahead.

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.

No, that's a little odd. It's like giving respect to a deceased animal as if it's a person. I would name a dog after a dog, but please not a child.

It depends on what the dog's name was. If the dog's name was something like Fluffy or Princess, well then of course not. But if someone had a pet that they truly loved & cherished as a part of the family, and the pet had a decent name, then I don't see the problem in it. If the dog's name was like Sophie or Jake, then there's nothing wrong with naming a child Sophia or Jakob

Heck yes. As long as it's not Fido or Spike or something. My fiance and I are considering naming our first boy Otis after the dog in "Milo and Otis". It's kind of cruel in a way, I guess, but we have a sense of humor, and kid's get made fun of regardless of what their name is. So go for it! It builds character.
