We had an epileptic beagle called Pal when I was very young, but I've never known a Rover or Fido. We've had Pal, Ginger, Hannah, Clancy, Seamus, Bubba, Olivia, Benjamin, Diamond, Virgil, Maxwell, Henry, Owen...but my family is partial to human names for their pets. :-)

I also know Riley, Kema, Teela, Thor, Cooper, Lucy, Bronte, Taz, Belle, Tony, Chelsea, Grover, Sadie and Syd.

A friend of mine once had a cat called "Puppy"...her other cat was called "Kitty". Very original.
