    I do recall that my coworker’s son got himself wedged between the stove and fridge, so #3 is plausible for Human-Jennifer.

      Which reminds me… The best thing about giving your pet people names, is eventually somebody with that name will become a fixture in your life and then you get to refer to them as “Human Dave” and still call the pet Dave.

    Every millenial ever: human names for pets, pet names for humans.

    Dog:

    Dave

    Their literal son, fruit of their loins; their flesh and blood:

    My cousin’s dog is named Grandpa and saying things like “I’m trying to get Grandpa not to lick his balls” or “Grandpa keeps eating shit in the backyard” just never is not funny

    My sister didn’t really get the concept of names for pets when we were younger. We won some rabbits from a fair once and I named mine Licorice and she named hers Sarah. I’ll never forget the horrified look on my friend’s face when my mom once casually told my sister to, “Take some food out to Sarah’s pen, she’s been kicking at the bars all day!”

    Making up demon names is fun and whimsical. Neth’sin the Ethereal Tormentor likes chin scratches, will rip strangers to shreds, and sometimes defiles laundry.

    That’s why I always assume people are talking about their dogs.

    Sam just graduated from college and Mary is finishing high school

    Me: wow, they have to be so smart! What breed are they?

    1. When they get out of the house and you’re screaming their name out on the street, a human name sounds like some terrible drama.

    “Kelly! Kelly, come back! Come here, girl! Kelly, where are you? Kelly, I’ve got treats!”

    Paul climbed on top of the refrigerator and he keeps hissing at me every time I open the freezer.
