JrsyDebs said:When DD and I were discussing names for or then-future dog, we liked patriotic kinds of names: Liberty or Independence for a girl, Justice for a boy. We are just not fond of using "people names" for a pet, no offense. No flames; it will hurt my feelings(!?)
It turned out that we adopted an adult dog from another family, so he already had a name: Jake!! We love him anyway...
That's why our second son is not named Jake! My dh really wanted to name him Jacob and call him Jake, but the neighbors behind us had a dog named Jake. My son and the neighbor's dog have the same name? No way!
My Sis in law has a dog named Zoe..............it's really cute!
