My comment is colored by my three decades of living in NYC where liberal/progressive/collegiate revolutionaries named their pets after their Communist heros. Trotsky, Vlad (after Lenin), Koba (sly reference to Stalin), and Che were pet names encountered in that time. And cats named Mao. Diego Rivera and Frida Khalo were Mexican Communists despite efforts in the last two decades to whitewash their political bent. Riveras commissioned mural at Rockefeller Center featured Lenin as a central figure. Caused a ruckus then and the mural was repainted. So yeah, those “creative” dog names raise a red flag in the same manner as a clueless a$$ wearing a Che tee shirt. As far as the childless part, those of that political bent made it a choice.
Those who name their children Moon Unit, Dweezle, Diva Thin Muffin, Audio Science, Blanket, Tu Morrow, Crimefighter, Jermajesty and Pilot Inspektor fall into the same dingbat category.
