This man is an unfit parent. Nouns are not names. A living being has a proper name especially when it is dependent on your successful, in this case unsuccessful, nuturing.

Cameron and I can offer a far superior homelife. Normal in fact. I would have thought better of you. It's one thing to make a bad decision on the company you keep, it's another

Dog is a fine name. You said no to Lassie, which is, undeniably, better than Bessie.

[vicodincrutch]

Did your parents almost name you Man?

And yes, Bessie for Bessie Smith the godmother of modern jazz. Not that you'd know anything about that I'm sure.

[nosferotofu]

What can I say? Somehow it fits.

Modern may be relative, but 2019 isn't the 30th century.

[vicodincrutch]

That's what you're saying no. I've seen you.

[vicodincrutch]

Or Etta or Ella. Look, it is a real name. If he isn't going to spend that much time naming her how do you think the rest of the time she'll be in his 'care' will turn out?

But names are nothing more than nouns...

[vicodincrutch]

Okay, Asian.

I'm sorry to inform you, but I am not and have never been "Asian." I'm European technically. Your eyes must be deceiving you, Mr. Superiority Complex.

[vicodincrutch]

It was an example. Asshole works too.

[bedsidemanners]

So it's... a dog named Dog.

[vicodincrutch]

Unimaginative and demeaning.... pretty reflective of his personality.

[bedsidemanners]

I don't know, if he'd really wanted demeaning, he could have always gone for "mongrel" or "mutt."

[vicodincrutch]

He didn't even think about it long enough.

[punchedhitler]

He's abusing a dog?

[vicodincrutch]

He named it Dog.

[punchedhitler]

....that's not abuse.

It's just boring.

[vicodincrutch]

Mediocrity should be a decision not a birthright.
