I’m watching the puppy bowl and 2/3rds of the pups are named after celebrities or food.

        Haha, I don’t. But my kids kind of do. I doubt they are being influenced by any trends as they wouldn’t be familiar. Luckily cookie is the second choice. First choice was buttcrack, which has been nixed.

            SatansMaggotyCumFart, that’s a nice thing to say. However, I think we have differing views on nice names to choose.

            I just don’t think I want to call out “here buttcrack, here girl. That’s right, do a poo buttcrack” at the dog park. Maybe it’s different with cats as you don’t tend to speak to them in the same way due to their underlying contempt.

    It’s better than naming them people names. The dogs on my block are Kevin, Tony, Doug and Jeff.

      Nah, real names are the best names for pets. Makes them more part of the family.

        Hard disagree. I just can’t imagine meeting a person with the same name as my dog. Would I tell the person?

        “Mike? Oh, that’s my dog’s name!” just seems kinda rude.

          I’ve had dogs named Scott and Amy and, anecdotally, no one ever took offense to their names. Hardly seems rude at all?
