Forget Fluffy; Luna is in
The new R-rated kitten comedy “Keanu” has lots of things that real-world scenarios do not – and one that many do: a pet with a person name.
According to Rover.com, a nationwide network connecting dog and cat pet sitters and walkers, more of today’s feline “pet parents” in America are eschewing old-school descriptive names, such as Fluffy and Whiskers, in favor of human monikers, with Oliver and Luna being the top names for male and female cats, respectively.
The top four male cat names after Oliver are Leo, Charlie, Milo and Max; after Luna, top female cat names are Chloe, Bella, Lucy and Lily.
From 2014 to 2015, the pet care network noted a 22 percent increase in cats named after people, but about half of pet owners still opt for not-specifically-human names. Popular names inspired by pop culture and its otherwordly bipeds include Khaleesi, Yoda, Bellatrix and Bieber.
Favorite food and drink-inspired names include Olive, Ginger, Oreo and Mochi.
