Stop Giving the Giant the Warrior Name
Walk into any dog park and the mastiff is named Hercules, the great dane is named Atlas, and everyone nods, because of course the giant got the giant name. This polemic argues that is exactly the problem. Titan, Maximus, Tank, and Thor almost always go to the dog who already looks the part, which makes the strength name the most predictable choice on offer. But a power name describes a spirit, not a body weight: the eight-pound terrier who fears nothing, the rescue who survived, the runt who runs the household. The literal big-dog match is forgettable precisely because it is expected, while the bold name on the dog whose courage is a surprise is the one people remember. The piece gives big-dog literalism its full due and then defeats it, separates heavy power names from quick speed names, fixes the mythology so Goliath stays the giant who fell, and closes on the tiniest dog in the park answering to Goliath.
