    I’m autistic and I probably would have interpreted “pet names” like that as well. 😭

    Also, I would be too embarrassed to assume the other person is talking about romantic pet names. What if they were not and I’d make the situation awkward? Too much of a risk.

    I mean if that was verbatim the question then my answer would probably be a moderately confused “I’m for them.” If it was modified like cutsey pet names or something, then there’s more to discuss. Like my current 2 girl dogs we decided should have old lady names after some discussion.

      Having old lady names for your dogs is great

      My grandmother made it about half way through the Golden Girls for her dogs’ names over the years back in the day.
