I’m watching the puppy bowl and 2/3rds of the pups are named after celebrities or food.
It’s better than naming them people names. The dogs on my block are Kevin, Tony, Doug and Jeff.
What is up with the trend of naming pets after food?

Nah, real names are the best names for pets. Makes them more part of the family.

Hard disagree. I just can’t imagine meeting a person with the same name as my dog. Would I tell the person?
“Mike? Oh, that’s my dog’s name!” just seems kinda rude.

Bruce was the best boy I ever had.

To be fair, food is their #1 priority for most of their life. Also, Potato is a great name for a dog (especially a rotund one).

I think it's an easy naming scheme when you have a litter of puppies to try and adopt out.

Sorry… The puppy bowl?

it’s a play on the super bowl (American football championship). it airs every year right before the super bowl. animal shelters send a bunch puppies to play on a mat with toys. the hosts act act like it’s a sports game, and the shelters get some free advertisement.

People tend to name their animals whatever they want

Mine was named “Georgia”
I renamed her to “Sunshine” officially in the microchip registry
But everyone in my house just call her 貓貓 (maau maau)
