A dog owner has taken to an online forum to share his pain after his father gave his dog a rather embarrassing name while his puppy was in his parents' care.
Deciding a puppy’s name is never easy as there is a plethora of options available for our four legged best friends.
But one unfortunate owner was left red faced as he entrusted his father to register his new golden retriever with the vet.

Taking to Reddit, a 19-year-old owner elaborated on how he was given his puppy as a present by his parents but had to wait a couple of weeks before taking them home, the Mirror reports.
He said: "I decided Holly was an appropriate name.
"Due to circumstances at the time, I couldn't take her home immediately, so I left her with my parents for a couple of weeks.
"In that time, my dad listed her name with the kennel club as Mizz Princess Hollywood and did the same with the vet registration.
"I have no idea about this. Six months later when I'm taking her in for a check-up and going to the front desk, they find her listed as her kennel club name.
"I laugh, sigh, and say 'just Holly' knowing exactly what happened."
The lad was able to find the unfortunate circumstances rather funny but says that the name may have stopped him from being able to catch the right sort of attention of a “cute girl.”
When sat in the vet waiting room - the dog’s name was called and embarrassment soon ensued.
He continued: "I'm sitting in the waiting room and a cute girl around my age comes in with a beautiful German shepherd pup and sits by me.
"Our pups start playing together so we inevitably talk. We're hitting it off, talking about the joys and downs of puppy-ownership - but then the receptionist steps up and calls Mizz Princess Hollywood.
"Now I'm already embarrassed, but it didn't help that while I was still standing up there they call out Bowser, or something else fairly masculine, and the cute girl stands up with her pup.
"I just walked into the exam room red-faced and never saw her again."
While most users laughed at his "troll of a dad" naming the dog Mizz Princess Hollywood, others tried to reassure him that it shouldn't stop his chances at securing a date.
One user said: "I'm sure the girl didn't care or thought it was funny. I feel like no one chooses to date or not to date based on the name of the person's dog."
Another user added: "You should have got up said 'It's a long story but I'd love to tell you about it over coffee after this'."
A third user said: "I think it's hilarious the vet calls out the dog's name rather than the owner's name."
