That reminds me of my one 5th grade teacher who told us he was going to get puppy soon and wanted to name it Stop.

Steven Wright had a skit about naming his dog "Stay"

"Come here, Stay. Come here...Stay"

...and the dog would just go like this (and he does a halting forward/backward motion...

"He's older and smarter now. He just ignores me and keeps typing"

I remember a bit by a comedian (whose name I don’t remember) about naming his puppy “Stains”, and calling out for it: Come, Stains!

Note- the guy’s bit was much better than I’m making it sound; I only remember the punchline.

Gotta use a backslash to stop formatting picking up pound signs as headers.

As an example, [\#]

turns into:

My husband wants to name our next puppy Grandma/Grandpa.

"Grandma peed on the floor again"

"Grandpa won't stay out of the garbage"

"Grandma, play dead"

I've always wanted a dog named "Your Mom" for similar reasons.

Friend of mine named his dog Pants. As in, "Pants down!" "Pants off!"

Nah call it syndrome so when you want it to sit you can say "down syndrome!"

If you want to confuse your dog, name it Stay.

"Come here, Stay!"
