Do u think it is ok to name a kid after a dog?? A dog.

[Herding C]

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

[Lisa R]

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.

I guess if you really like the name......but I would think twice at...Rover...or Fido.....Spot.....ya know.

[Whats for dinner?]

Are you crazy, Mcdonalds is so much better than Burger King.

[Lindsay M]

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.

My dog was named after my grandma, so it should be ok

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.
