Quite a few of mine are technically human as they are named after mythological, religious and fictional figures like Altjira, Murdock, Kaiser Soze etc. I have a couple that have "non-human" names, eg my chucks are named after Native American languages and tribes etc. Then again, we tend to end up abbreviating the name so that it becomes human, eg Moe and Al. I think its all down to how the name sounds more than anything else.

I think more-normal names are quite cool, but I wouldnt use them for certain animals as they just wouldnt "feel" right.
