I think Can'tExplain is right; it must fit with how T sees you. In that sense, her comment says more about T than it does about you. While I did name my current dog, when I was younger, I adopted a puppy who had already been given a name by her breeder. Her name was Quite unusal (something I'd never heard before). Over the years, I had a few people tell me that my name choice was revealing or that it fit with my personality. What a surprise for them when I said I was not the one who named her! Similarly, I named my best friend's dog-- and he's been told that "his" name choice was telling also. People read into these things what they want to. Even if you did carefully consider a name, I'm sure you and everyone else who has chosen that name (for a pet, child, business, etc) chose it for a different reason. If one more person tries to tell me that I named my current dog after Angelina Jolie (because her name is a character Jolie played in a popular film) I think I'll scream! I did not, and I'm not exactly a Jolie fan. My dog's name actually comes from a store I was driving by in Beverly Hills and thought "what a cute name for a dog."
