I got my parents to name their dog after an anime character, but they have no idea what the name is from.
How did you convince them to do that?
We told them it'd be a nice gesture if they named him after a noble character from a fictional work. We just didn't tell them the fictional work was an anime.
It is okay to want to have a say in naming a new pet but lying to your parents is wrong. They will be upset when they find out you lied to them.
Nah, they love the name. It's original and cool.
Whether or not they like the name is irrelevant. You lied to your parents, and when they find out they will bu upset and less trusting of you in the future. You should have just been honest about where the name came from.
