I judge people based on what their pets names are and what they call their spouse. I do. Not ashamed at all.
Funny: I always wanted to name a dog “Fido”. I have never actually met a dog named “Fido”. I had dogs named: Mitzi, Otto and Lancer.

P.S. - How about Rufus?

Lots of funny stories about Semper Fi.
Bella, Newt, Simba, Kip, Milo, Patches, Stitches, Snoopy, Gabe, Laverne, Indy, Samson, Delilah, Goliath, and Hey, Jude are some more dog names from the Villages area and the vicinity.

Hannah, Delaney, Dolly, Duffy, Obi Wan, the Mighty Millie, Lambaugh, and Hadley are some of the other names of pooches I have encountered here in the Villages area since June 2005.

That is a nice name. I recall Gerry, Frankie, Hudson, many Murphys, Finnegan, Brutus, and a few bogies. Bogey either for Humphrey Bogart or the golf score. Maybe some below Par as well came up at some point. Toby, Tony, and Moby too. And a few Elsies.

Thumbs up

Just remembered Barracuda. She called him "Cuda".

Cannot remember if it was a dog or its owner that had the name Thelma but do recall a dog named Boo Radley.

lol!

We once had three cats named Tosca, Mario and Scarpia.

I suggested naming the next one Little Shepherd Boy, but Honey thought that was just too much.

I know two cats named Francesca and Farrah. I only saw them when I yelled out "Dinner Time" or when they were hissing at two dogs that were chasing them all over the house.

And I watched a diabetic cat for long periods of time which needed shots of insulin. Her owner named her Mephistopheles but usually just called this 22 pound Maine Coon cat Butt-Head.
