Stereotypical pet names

Fidos is the plural of fido, an informal term for a dog.

The name Fido—from Latin for "faithful"—became so common for dogs in the 19th century that it turned generic: The park was full of fidos chasing tennis balls.

The word appears most often in casual or humorous contexts.
