Would you name your child the same as your pet?

catkins

No, definitely not. I think it is silly.

Also, as others have said, can you even begin to imagine how many boys are now going to be called George? Think of something more original

lostinrates

No.

We've had pets at the same time who for confusing reasons had the same names, and its hard enough.

I'd name a child after a loved and deceased pet though.

No, I wouldn't. My son's name (Olly) seems popular as a dog's name though.

Easy. Name the child Mr Snufflekins.

Gay-orge!! OMG that's the funniest version of George I have ever heard!!! How has nobody else picked up on that?!

Seriously though, no I wouldn't.

I bet not as popular as Felix or Tiger for a cat though

I read that but couldn't even begin to imagine how it's said, but it looks an awful lot like gay orgy.

Call the cat georgie and your son George. Your son will be around for longer than the cat

My brother told me they were thinking of calling their son Oliver. My reaction was 'What, after the cat?' :rotfl:

Apparently they just liked the name, hadn't really considered it was the same as the cats name :rotfl:

My nephew was born and named Ben

Bùgger. That's my middle name, and I will think of this every time I use it from now on. Thanks a lot
