Character Names
Aaron Samuels — Is your new fur baby a real heart-throb? Name him after Cady’s crush.

Hope Plotkin — A member of The Plastics in Mean Girls 2.

Karen Smith — Although the name may currently have a negative connotation, Mean Girls fans will recognize the name as an homage to the peppy, and scatterbrained, member of the Plastics.
