Many of you have probably heard about the unspoken taboo that frowns upon us choosing human names for our pets.

Some people choose foreign names because they seem more acceptable to us.

Others, on the contrary, see nothing wrong with using even the names of their acquaintances.

Is it even possible to use human names as nicknames for our pets?

Experts note that there is nothing wrong with such a habit: the main task is to make the nickname easy for the dog or cat to remember.

Superstitious people speak out against human names as nicknames, but their arguments do not stand up to any criticism from the point of view of common sense.

However, it is worth remembering that you should not call your dog by a common name. If you call it on the street, people with the same name will think that you are addressing them personally. This can create an awkward situation.

Therefore, you can safely choose the nickname that, in your opinion, is ideal for your pet.
