My wife, a vet tech, has a hospital patient named “Stephanie.” It’s a dog. We’re both grossed out by this name. What are some others?

Anyone else come in here thinking they were going to see things like “honey,” or “snookums?”

My 13 y/o cat is named Sarah, she’s a sweetie and the name fits her. Though super long names for pets are odd to me

Old picture, but have some cat tax

My aunt has a cat named “Rachel”

Rachel isn’t really cute or endearing on its own and doesn’t really shorten well. So they just call their cat “Rach”.

I feel like that’s a name they wanted to give a child, but missed out, so it went to a cat.
