But the child will still hear stories about the pet, and know that you just recycled the name of an animal rather than thinking they were special enough to deserve their own.

Not necessarily
You can’t predict what an as yet non-existent child will think about their name.

Well exactly. You don’t know if they’re the type to find it hurtful or shameful or not. So why not play it safe and give them their own special name, just for them? There’s a whole world of wonderful names out there.

One of my dogs is named Lara, which is a very common human name here. We know several little Laras and they all like that they share a name with a big, lovable dog.
I also know a family where a dog is named Riki and the cat is Lili, after the kids’ best friends Rikardo and Liliana. All the kids think it’s fabulous and hilarious.
Children, especially those who love animals, often don’t see it as a negative thing at all.
