What creepy also is Pet names are becoming more humanized,
That is, instead of a dog or cat being called “Speckles”, “Spike” or “fluffy”, etc, they are giving Human names like “Steven”, “Micheal” or “Samantha”.
Sadly, today while pets are getting more traditional names, actual kids are being given more & more stupid names
I had a cat named Samantha as a teenager 30 years ago. She was a tortoiseshell.
I’ve humanized my rat terror’s stuffed animals. “Get your baby” which she does then violently shakes it, tosses it in the air then rips the stuffing out of it.
“Sadly, today while pets are getting more traditional names, actual kids are being given more & more stupid names”
The way kids today are being raised and educated, it might be appropriate. Pets are getting smarter and the kids being uniformed better.
An example of this is this article:

When a third of the students in a state school system can’t read competitively, there is a problem with instruction or it is being done on purpose. And it doesn’t get fixed either as:
In California, the Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation reports that more than half of adult inmates are functionally illiterate. Proves just how effective the school system is and that it is not being assisted. Keep the kids at home, teach them yourself, and send the pets to school.
