[Opinions] Re: Bear and Lion
in reply to a message by Lily
Why not Bear? Because in the LGBT world, a "bear" is a big, fat, hairy guy. Nothing against big, fat, hairy guys, but it's usually not the type of image a person wants associated with their baby's name.Lion is...pretty stupid. To be honest, I hate animal names. They sound so juvenile.

ha ha!Juvenile, yes. And it reminds me, I always got annoyed when I was little, reding books about animals, and the animals were only called things like Bear and Duck and Dog. Like, couldn't they come up with even a dumb name for these critters? And how could there be only one Duck in the forest? What if he met a mate or a relative?

I loved those books, even WITH the generic names. Didn't seem to bother me.

I liked them too. Valerie doesn't though.And somehow even though most of the characters in Winnie the Pooh have very generic names, I didn't mind. I still love those stories.

Sally *loves* "Winnie the Pooh". She calls him Wee-Pooh.

what's also silly......is when the animals have names that match, like Bob the Bear, Doug the Duck, etc.

Who says he would have to mate with another duck? That's racist, man.
