My kids named one of our hens "Chloe", and I are think that's an inappropriate name for a bird.

My wife thinks I'm the only person who would even think that.

She's a Buff Orpington, and all of our other hens have pun names like "Annie Yolkly", "Stevie Chicks", "Ruth Bader Ginsbird", "Princess Layer", etc...which makes it even worse.

I think of that episode of Seinfeld where Jerry has a new girlfriend and he can't remember her name except that it sounds like a body part.

Well, are you gonna take that joy away from your kids? They got to name a bird and now you want to tell them "nah I as your father decide that this is a dumb name"?

Would you name your daughters "Vagina"?

Your chicken is not only not your daughter but Chloe is a completely normal name that has nothing to do with genitals.

I'm not seeing the issue here. Could you explain why you think it's inappropriate?

Edit: your wife is right

Well, since jokes get funnier as you explain them, prepare for a hilarious adventure.

OP states that he thinks Chloe is inappropriate.
Why though. Chloe is a perfectly cromulent name.

The other chicken's names are puns related to Stevie Chicks is a pun on Stevie Nicks, Princess Layer is a pun on Princess Layer.

Of course, this isn't too hard to see.

Still, why does OP think Chloe is inappropriate?

Chloe is similar sounding to a chicken's (cloaca)[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cloaca]. A comedian might call it a pussy-dick-butt.

Do you see how hilarious it is now that I've explained the joke. Gafaw gafaw.

How did I miss "Princess Layer", when I already named a rooster (german: "Hahn") "Hahn Solo"? This is an outrage!

Your wife is right. That's a really weird thing to get hung up on. So much so that most people will need an explanation to even make the connection. Are you also the type of guy that can't eat hotdogs or bananas because they "look too phallic?" No one is making this sexual but you.

Edit: I thought this was in NoStupidQuestions not ScienceMemes. I guess it's science-y because.. cloaca? 🤷‍♂️
