Naming a new pet after a deceased one
My boyfriend is thinking about getting another dog, and if it's a female, and him and I were thinking about the name Sasha.
Sasha was also the name of my cat who died a few years ago. My mother says it's bad luck to name animals after another but I think it's sort of an honor, and I love the name. Is it heartless to do that?

I think it's an honour as well. I had 5 cats, one after the other, named Jodi when I was little. If you want to name your new (soon) dog Sasha, I think it's a sweet idea.

well when my dog died we were got another dog and we were going to call her the same name and started to train her but i found that everytime i said the name i was reminded of my sadness. so we changed the name.

I don't think it's bad luck to name a pet the same name after a deceased pet. I have had many dogs and cats over the years. I loved them and the names I gave them. To me the name has to fit the animal. If it looks like a Sasha to you name it Sasha. I love that name, I would name a Husky dog Sasha.

As long as it doesnt upset you or anything like that, then there is nothign wrong with it. There are people that name new pets after past pets in honor of them. And it is 2 different animals.. a dog and a cat. If you like the name I say go for it!
