From the experts:
Until recently it was rarely used as a proper name; Buddy Holly, for example, was christened Charles, and Salinger's Buddy Glass was born Webb. Celebrity chef Jamie Oliver did name his fourth child Buddy Bear Maurice--a fittingly named brother to Poppy Honey Rosie, Daisy Boo Pamela and Petal Blossom Rainbow, and singer Tom Fletcher has a double-nicknamed Buddy Bob.

I don't see what's so bad about this. It has that vintage feel and there are adults who go by this professionally so why not? I get the dog thing but I have never met a dog with the name Buddy.

For dogs, this is the most predictable name imaginable. It's that much worse on a human.

Sounds just a little too condescending? cute at first glance, but idk I just think of "hey, buddy, chill,"/similar quotes.
