A mid to late 20s couple, on a date having lunch near me

Her "Of course I wanna see your dog are you kidding I can't believe it took you this long to ask!"

Him, scrolling his phone "I know I know, I'm lagging but … Ok 1 sec… Here he is! (showing her the screen) this is my boy!"

Her "Oh. My. Gawd. (squeeall) He is soo CUUUTe what's his name I love him!"

Him (Lightly laughing) "His names Johnny Thornberry, I named him after this wild child cartoon character I used to watch when I was little, since he was always the wildest little puppy-"

Her, interuppting "Wait what did you call him? Did you call him JOHNNY Thornberry?? Like. From the Wild Thornberrys?"

Him "Yeah! (excited) You know The Wild Thornberrys??"

Her "Yeah… I don't know how to tell you this but his name was Donnie Thornberry.. Not Johnny. Donnie…."

Him "No fuckin way. What?? No…"

Her (rapidly typing on phone, showing him screen)

Him "…Holy shit it is Donnie. Oh no.. I've been calling him Johnny for 4 years. I can't just change it now. He'll have an identity crisis…"

Her "Yeah.. Poor little Johnny"
