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

    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?

        Not 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.
