I've been a purebred dog breeder for the last 20 years of my life, raising champion Poodles, Gordon Setters, and Doberman Pinschers, and have often found, with regard to myself and other breeders, that a pet's name, whether humorous or descriptive of their lineage, doesn't really matter as long as it is comfortable for you and the dog. Having grown up with many purebred dogs with humorous or unusual nicknames, such as Hulk, Tally-Ho, Fang and Sleepy, I certainly meant no offense. I consider myself to be among the more experienced and serious dog breeders that contribute to this newsgroup. (Besides, I always thought that Kitty really WOULD be a great name for a Great Dane! :-) ) Sonya Hansen
