Do couples fight over pet names?

Obviously if it is a human kid there are these well-known classic arguments.

Husband: I think "Jennifer" would be a nice name.

Wife: No way, I like "Fanny."

Husband: YOU CAN'T NAME A KID THAT.

Wife: WHY NOT?  OH, BECAUSE IT'S *MY* IDEA?

Husband: AUUUUUGGGHHHH!  I HATE YOU!

Wife: AUUUUGGGHHHH!  I HATE YOU TOO FOR NOT LIKING "FANNY!"


...aaand that's how a relationship usually goes.


But does the same thing happen with pets?  and if so, how important of an animal do you have to be to be rage-worthy?

I could see if you are a horse...

Husband: Let's call him "Brock."

Wife: This is a girl horse, duh.  Let's call her "Meadow."

Husband: GIRL HORSE God DAMMIT.  I wasted money!  I should have looked.


Other animals, off the top of my head.  Two people trying to name a parrot...

Wife: I like "Polly."

Husband:  NO.  That's stupid.  You don't name the BIRD "Polly."  You name the BIRD "Cracker."  See?  THAT is what's smart.  THAT is what's clever.  THAT is...  GOD DAMMIT I LEFT THE WINDOW OPEN.  WHERE'S THE BIRD??? ..... IT LEFT!


Big fight over a goldfish name...

I really like "Goldie."
