minus-squarewarm@kbin.earthlinkfedilinkarrow-up20arrow-down2·1 day agoNah, real names are the best names for pets. Makes them more part of the family.
minus-squareTujio@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up10arrow-down2·1 day agoHard 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.
minus-squaretoomanypancakes@piefed.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up5·1 day agoI’ve had dogs named Scott and Amy and, anecdotally, no one ever took offense to their names. Hardly seems rude at all?
minus-squarewarm@kbin.earthlinkfedilinkarrow-up10arrow-down2·1 day agoNot at all rude, imho, maybe the culture is different where you are from? I value animals very highly, so why should they get named after food, that seems rude.
