[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's not a serious name for an adult. [/quote]

Ridiculous. It is every bit as "serious" as Hillary, Leslie, Abbie, Kathy, Emily, Sally, Ali, Lori, Mindy, etc that millions of serious professional adult women have. We've had presidential candidates named Hillary, Nikki, Amy, Tulsi, Carly.[/quote]

You have presented a mix of classic, "serious enough for an adult" names and golden retriever names.

I don't see how you can think Nikki and Lori and Carly, for example, are anywhere near the same as Hillary or Katherine or Emily, to be honest.  Completely different connotation.  Can you really not see that?

Hailey/Hayley is also a good name for a golden retriever.  Not a serious name for an adult human, as a PP noted.[/quote]

NP but it seems like you failed to grasp that half of the names PP listed were names of actual, powerful, "serious" adult women. Like sure, in the vacuum of your own imagination, you might find the names Nikki and Carly to be unserious or more suitable for a dog. But in the real world where we all currently life, these are the names of the former US ambassador to the UN and the former CEO of Hewlett-Packard. Setting aside any political disagreements you might have with those women, they are serious people with important and impressive careers. So here are some accomplished adult humans with these names that you claim are unserious dog names. Hmmm.

They are also incredibly common names, as is Lori. Common HUMAN names. So lots and lots of people with these names. School teachers. Doctors. City council members.

Meanwhile, there are people with what you consider to be "serious" names who are criminals, failure to launch adults, professional dog walkers, etc. I even know dogs names stuff like Nora and Ruth, which you probably believe are more "serious" names.

It's almost like what you think is a "serious" name or a "golden retriever" name is a totally made up categorization that has zero relevance to real life.

Real question: are YOU a golden retriever?[/quote]
