Would dogs be confortable with names that for humans sounds mean?

Some things that may have a negative connotation to you, may not be negative at all to someone else. I'm not a pot head moron myself, but, I think Toker is funny. I also don't think Bozo is a bad name, my first thought was the clown. I just think it's fairly narrowminded to assume that someone is a jerk or a moron because you think of a certain thing when the pet's name is spoken. I'm trying to think of specific examples here.....Oh, well I had a friend in high school that named her dog Jerk because that's the only way he played with stuff as a puppy. He jerked all his toys around like a madman. It doesn't make her ignorant, because you think she's calling her dog something mean. And, what about people that name their dogs after alcoholic beverages (which some deem a worse drug than marijuana)? I've known Tequilas, Bacardis, Margaritas, Martinis, etc. It doesn't mean their owner's are lousy alcoholics. I think it's just as ignorant to assume someone is a moron for naming their dog bozo or gigolo or toker as some think it is to name them that in the first place. And, I'm not saying that some people that named their dogs Toker or Smokey or whatever aren't pot heads. But, I'm also saying you can't judge a person by what they name their pets. I've known plenty of jerks and stupid people with pets named Sam, Max, Princess, etc (and no offense to anyone with those names, they were just names)....And, I think it's one thing to think something immediately when you first hear a pet's name, but, if someone's going to act differently or treat a dog a certain way because of their name, that's stupid. Oh, yeah, I knew someone with a dog named Killer, and, he was the biggest sweetheart. And, so was the owner. And, if someone is mistreating your pet because of his name, you may need to find other people to interact with. Heck, just shorten Gigolo's name to Gig. I don't think it's necessary to completely change his name. I personally don't see anything wrong with the name. I loved the movie, American Gigolo, that's what I first thought of. Or Deuce Bigalow. ha ha. Anyway, that's my two cents. thanks for rescuing the dog, either way!
