   Do you think the choice of names for animal characters in literature   
   are more important than naming humans?   
      
   For example in _Three Men in a Boat_, the characters' names are George,   
   Jerome, Harris, and Montmorency.   
      
   Another thing that I notice is that civilians generally do not name   
   their pets the same way that authors do.   
      
   There are many websites that claim to give the 10 or 20 most popular   
   cat or dog names.  Some of them allow visitors to add names to list to   
   increase the sampling, and this sort I feel is the most credible.  The   
   name that's always in the top three is Charlie.
