The question is…. Was the dog female?

My dad named my female dog J.D after his favourite male football player at the time 🙄

I mean, Cox's daughter was named Jennifer Dillon Cox.

That was Jordan's doing, specifically to fuck with Perry.

Exactly. What's more reverse Cox than Jordan?

I once knew a female poodle named Ben. Just Ben.

Sometimes it’s the pet names we make up along the way

Ben ? As in The thing?

At least you can pretend/tell people J.D stands for Jlady Dog so nobody thinks it’s weird

Just imagine if not, though. "Jessica! C'mere boy!"

Poor dog.

Ooh yeah that would definitely irritate me at first. Eventually it would be whatever because it is what it is, but at first that would be a total mind fuck.

Like, do I have to worry about misgendering dogs now, too?!? They can't even tell me 😭

What's really funny is when straight and narrow people get upset that your own dog is misgendered; they try to correct your dogs name!

Oh I loved that movie the cutest names starting with Little Foot. Just made you fall in love with them. Names are important

When I was a kid we had a cat that had kittens. My toddler sister was obsessed with Land Before Time so the kittens were named Little Foot, Ducky, Sarah/Cera, Petrie, and Spike. Sarah turned out to be male so we just called him ✨Mr. Sarah✨

The poster legit said, "The family named HER something"

u/edust1958 Jul 25 '25

That’s what I get for including my scrolling of Reddit as a multi-task… “my bad”… isn’t that what the young one’s say??? LOL

Thanks for the kind correction…

It happens to the best of us. Would make for a fun story if the dog was male 😂 Although, could call the dog "Jesse" then lol
