Is it wrong to call a child's dragon cuddly 'Puff'?'
Discussion
So- SWMBO's aunt has made the most awesome cuddly dragon for our 6 month old little boy.
Here's the little fella here.. (dragon - not our boy!)
Looking at it, the first name that came into both our heads for him was 'Puff'.
However, given the connotations of Puff and Magic Dragons etc, is it wrong to call him Puff?
Clearly our little one will have no idea of these for a long time, however
Part of me thinks we should any way
Answers on a postcard...(or alternative name suggestions)

Also - your username?! Why are you worrying about a child calling their dragon "puff"... Calling a toy "golly" might be a reason to step in but seriously, chill out.

-true - but username came from when I was heavily into kitesurfing and trying to get air.....(that said - you have a fair point - and I had totally forgotten/missed the irony of my posting this!)jeff m2 said:
I would be more concerned about the kid getting nightmares, I would definitely introduce Puff slowly
Fair point- although he has already acquired a couple of other dragons..slipper for scale
..green one from legoland, and the red one (Welsh - from a slate mine somewhere) which is definitely 'slightly' scary...(and bigger than he is at the moment)

..green one from legoland called Purple Haze, and the red one (Welsh - from a slate mine somewhere) which is definitely 'slightly' scary called Lysergic Acid Diethylamide...(and bigger than he is at the moment)
