Really? I kinda think it's cute.

My friend called her little white dog: tofu and I think it's an awesome name. Jason Mantzoukas called his late dog: turkey which I learned from the latest episode of Taskmaster.

How about being named after other animals? My friend called his black and white Collie: Panda.

I named a dog Pancake.

A youtuber I watched had a cat named biscuit.

Another one has a cat named Waffles.

Are you dead yet or shall I keep going?

You should probably head to the ER because losing that much blood is very bad
