“Some people have a category ( kings, famous people’s first names, opera stars, novelists, etc. ) and others just pick funny names.”
We named ours after Saints. But the current one came came from the Humane Society with his name already. Maybe I should look up Saint Malcomb.
My cousin named her dogs after great opera singers and her cats for characters in operas.
My friends and family have used other categories for their pets ( us too ); however, I never knew anyone who did Saints.
