There was this lab that has the same name as me. By the way my name is Ralph. It was a customer's dog at this petshop I used to help out at. I think it's ok for someone to name a pet with human names.

Well, running out of names, maybe a good reason to name dogs after a human name.

Well, I've heard people yelling out 'Johnny' sounding like my mum and it was actually a dog playing fetch and decided to fool around with the owner. It was so funny since some of my friends call me that and they were a bit surprised the fact it's actually a dog somewhere. But I guess it's OK since this planet will run out of names soon. And I don't want to keep naming my dog names like Foofoo, Fifi and those odd odd cute names when there are better names to choose from. Cocky for my old cocker spaniel.

well it hasnt happened to me personally but it has happened to a guy i went with for a while.
we were at the park and me and him were walking peacefully under the willows around the ponds, when we kept hearing someone yelling "Mac! Mac!" it repeated over and over. that was my guys nickname (all of his initials.) we really didnt recognise the voice and continued walking but the shouts kept on comming. finally my boyfriend got annoyed and turned around and yelled WHAT!? just as a large choco lab dived at him. apartently the dog got away from the owner when he removed the chain because it had became tangled.
a few embarrassing moments and apologizes later we left the park. :)

Well, I have a slightly different take on this one. My dog's name is Rory - he had that name when we got him, and we didn't bother to change it. Well, my brother-in-law and his wife named their baby Rory! I was horrified! They knew my dog was named Rory, yet they used that name anyway! Baby Rory is 3 years old now. Needless to say, calling the dog or scolding the dog poses problems when "human Rory" is around! LOL

Wow ! Your dog must be very lovable huh? And they really
derived their baby's name from your pet's name. Oh boy,
this is quite an interesting issue.

It really is embarrassing, but how will you handle such thing?

I've never heard of a dog named Teresa, but I sure would be embarrassed if it ever happened to me! *laugh* I wonder if there ever has been a dog with my name. That sounds so strange to me. But there are a lot of pets with 'human' names out there. I've just never heard of one called by my particular first name! ^_^

The ratio is good therefore, that as of now they never use Teresa a name for their pet.
