I was sitting on my couch telling my good but frequently spastic dog that she was my favorite and the best Elsa I’d ever had. Then I got to wondering. Could I say that if I were seeing someone named Elsa? Would it be weird to call your pet and SO by the same name? I think I could get by it, but it’d be weird. Would anyone else be bothered by it?
I dated a girl named King for a while, but it just didn’t work out.
I think it would be a bit weird. I know someone who has the same name as one of my dogs (Daphne) and it took a while to get used to.
I dated someone whose name was the same as my little brother Aaron. That was a bit odd too.
I used to go out with a girl with same name as my dog but I could tell them apart because the human one hated doggy style.
I’ve got a friend who is dating a guy with the same name as her pet rat. It seems to be working out well between them. She likes to joke that her boyfriend is actually named after her rat.
They’re in a long distance relationship at the moment, and I think having a little rat Ben around kinda helps her when the human one can’t be there.
Um…
Nevermind.
I’ve never dated a guy named Catfish.
I don’t think I could date a girl named Fido.
Seriously- it’d be odd, but I really don’t think it would be a big deal.
Shhh… I don’t think there’s anything to say.
I thought I’d be able to handle having a pet and a girlfriend of the same name, but it turns out I couldn’t.
Why did I call my dog Angelina Jolie? WHY?
I used to live with a guy whose childhood dog still lived with him (us) and was named “Suzie.” Suzie was old and tended to pee on the carpet at random intervals. He would scold her (she was also going deaf, so he would scold her LOUD), mentioning her name often.
Then he started dating someone named Suzie. When he would get even faintly irritable with her, he’d start formulating sentences that sounded very much like his “I’ve spoken to you about peeing on the carpet many time before, haven’t I, Suzy?” tone, which just cracked me up repeatedly.
Hmmm, I’ve never dated someone named “Big Fat Kitty” or “World’s Most Annoying Cat”…
My dog’s name is Shithead. I’ve tried to find a girl named Shithead, but I’ve been looking for Shithead in all the wrong places.
Nah, wouldn’t bother me. Although the name might get some use if I were dating someone with it. As of now, I call my bird ‘baby’ and not his name. He is still a baby, so maybe when he grows up that will change.
Of course, I’d end up calling whomever I date ‘baby’ too, so it’s just one big circle.
My cat is named after this guy.
Some how I don’t think I’m gonna get a chance to date him. 
I wouldn’t mind at all dating a nice Scottish man named Angus.
I often call my female dog, “sweetie” or “babe”. This has caused confusion with women around who think that I am referring to them.
The dog is just happy for the attention.
My cat’s name is “Devil”.
That’d just be weird.
Never met a chick named “Ziggy”.
Actually I named my last cat after a girl I had a crush on in high school.
Miranda lived 17 years and died six months ago. She’s buried in the back yard, complete with a headstone made from a chunk of concrete block.
I have. I used to act in a local repertory theatre, and Ziggy was a fellow performer there. She was a little odd, but otherwise pretty cool. Good actress, too, for a kid. Did a great impression of AbFab’s Patsy.
