Many pet parents choose to give their dogs a human name. After all, their pets are part of the family, too. That’s why you meet so many dogs named Max, Sophie, Bella, and Oliver. But for other pet parents, the standard issue baby name just won’t do. They want their dog’s name to reflect their passions, sense of humor, or background. Whatever the reason, we’re here to help!
