I don't like naming pets

I feel weird giving pets names. Most of my pets I just call them by the "cute" version of what animal they are- i.e. my rabbit I call bunny or 'the rabbit', my moms dog although she has a name, I've always called her puppy or doggy or just dog when I'm mad. I want to get a couple parakeets soon, and I was gonna get just one and name it birdie, but I think they are better off with a friend so idk what I'll name them.. is it normal I don't like giving actual names to pets?

    I enjoy giving animals proper Christian names.
    :-P

    I think if an animal can learn and respond to his or her name then it's worthy of a name. I don't name fish of course, but I don't mind people who do so.
    :-)

        Hell yeah, he knows and he knows a little basic dog obedience better than some dogs I've met. He's a smart cookie!

          How often does he break out the claws on you?

            I don't think he's ever gotten mad and scratched me like that, but he does attack from time to time.

    They don't really respond to their names half of the time.
    Especially cats, I've had one for 8 years and it never learned that its name is "Alex" and that it should come when I call him

    Why does it feel weird? I name my pets names I love that are too strange to name my future kid, like yacapo, murtagh, etc to get it out of my system
