'I regret the name I chose for my dog - dates have stormed out on me over it'

A woman has been left mortified after her date stormed out her house after learning her dog's unusual name. She explained how she got a brown-haired retriever for her birthday when she was 15-years-old - and decided to call him Stupid after he walked straight into a door when she first met him.

But now she is aged 24, she regrets giving him such a 'unique' name so she refers to him as Stu when she's in public instead. Taking to Reddit, she said: "He's a beautiful dog, but when we first got him he walked straight into a fly-wire door, and that gave me the idea to call him 'Stupid', not because I actually thought he was stupid but because I thought it was hilarious to have a dog named Stupid.

"I kind of regretted this decision after a while and I really wish my parents would have stopped me from making it - but I still find it kind of amusing and I couldn't exactly have my dog answer to a different name so he's just called Stupid now, Stu for short, and that's what I always call him.
