Swift's "Honey" lyrics explain that she used to have bad associations with pet names such as "honey" and "sweetheart." Like many women, she was accustomed to hearing them in passive-aggressive contexts - such as a woman in a bar telling her to "back off" or someone criticizing her outfit in a public bathroom. "But you touch my face, redefine all of those blues when you say 'Honey,' Swift sings."

Lars Andersen, Managing Director at mynametags.com, who carried out the research, said: 'We've been monitoring baby name trends for over two decades, but until now we hadn't explored pet names. 'Our research shows an interesting trend of human-like names topping the charts, including Jack, Daisy, and Rosie. 'This suggests that Brits are increasingly viewing their pets as family members.' So, do these names look familiar to you? The team analysed data from more than 2,500 registered dogs in the UK.

Pet names, ranging from 'baby' to 'honey,' can foster warmth but may mask underlying relationship issues, creating an illusion of intimacy without genuine emotional connection.
