They're neat ecologically, but tend to be treacherous, full of bloodsucking bugs and decay, which makes them foul smelling and pretty miserable to be around by human standards.
It's one thing if it coincidentally matches a word in another language, but a bog is not something most people would want to be named after intentionally, in English.

What's adoring about toilets

Why not searching the internet to see if there's another meaning? It obviously costs less time than replying 'why adore toilets' to multiple people in this thread.

I hadn't heard a toilet called a bog before. In the United States, a bog refers to wet, spongy, poorly drained soil that is often acidic and full of accumulated plant material like peat and moss.

Bogs aren't called toilets where I live
I had no idea a bog was a toilet. I'm from the US.

Right, but now that you know, and realizing that in this global culture peoples’ children will travel or possibly emigrate to places where bogs are commonly associated with toilets, you can see how this would put a lot of people off. Even ones from the U.S.

Yes, I appreciate the enlightenment. I never said that I was considering this for a human child, however.

I never said you were either.

Me too. They're so beautiful and strange

How are toilets beautiful

I think they mean the other definition for "bog", which is: "wet muddy ground too soft to support a heavy body."
Like a marsh or swamp.
