minus-squareTujio@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up11arrow-down2·2 days 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-squarewarm@kbin.earthlinkfedilinkarrow-up12arrow-down2·2 days 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.
