Culture and Lifestyle Southern Pet Names By Southern Living Editors Updated on March 10, 2017 Share Tweet Pin Email Trending Videos In the South, pets are part of the family – in fact, some families revolve around a beloved dog or adorable cat. It's perfectly acceptable to cross the street just so you can pet another dog in the South – don't mind asking, either. And in the South, we have fictional cats that are more famous than their owners. Our beloved pets deserve thoughtful names, and so we give them the cutest pet names possible. Sometimes they're cute pet names, sometimes they're funny pet names, and sometimes, they're just plain unique pet names (some may call them bizarre!). Here, we believe that pet names can determine the personality of a pet. A dog name Bud is playful and joyful, while a dog named Maybelle might have a little bit of sass in her wagging tail. A cat named Memphis can mope like a teenager, while Scarlett is a sneaky and graceful feline. No matter the personality, we've created the ultimate list of inspiration so that every beloved Southern critter has a suitably Southern pet name. 01 of 51 The Best Southern Pet Names From dogs named Moose to cats named Grits, Southern pets and their names come in lots of shapes and sizes.
