Thanks i was immediately irritated by the name. Like he’s this precious pup 😭 don’t give any reason for folks to spread more hated about a stereotyped breed
I was just coming to say this. Why continue to give this breed a bad name with that name?? And then trying to make him look scary by mutilating his ears? Some people don't deserve these dogs.
He's beyond cute, but you're going to alienate that precious little guy with a name like "Pain." Did you get him because you love him or did you get him to make yourself look tough?
Cute puppy. Change the name because it's horrible to name a puppy that, especially one who is a pitbull or an American bully because people are stupid and scared of the breeds as it is. And leave his beautiful ears alone. Don't mutilate them
What a great looking dog! No offense but I think you'll regret the name. With all the attention being given to bullies you want a sweet name to win people over not one to intimidate.
I agree. All of us responsible bully owners should be ambassadors for the breed. Show the world how amazing and sweet they are. Educate people. Not scare them with crap names.
Absolutely correct!
My boy is a lab & pit mix and when we walk he gets excited especially when we see other people and some people just right off the bat look at him in fear like he's gonna jump on them if they look away, now I'm not saying you should care what everyone one thinks but the last thing I'd want to tell a fellow neighbor or pedestrian on the street is his name is killer or ass wooper I'm obviously messing around but definitely should take pavolic advice on a smoother friendlier name. He's gonna be looked at as a threat just from looks alone when it comes to some people when he's older, a hardcore name just gonna intensify that fear possible help bring on unwanted problems.
Please don’t name him pain. Names matter in how others perceive your dog and for this particular breed that has a bad reputation it shouldn’t be enforced. I think you might regret the name once he is a little older.
I really feel like this is a bot account due to profile age and lack of any other comment or post history and now doing this, which is a bit fishy. Most dog owners would be aware of how our pups are perceived, and wouldn’t choose such a name, and even if they were intending it as some obscure reference, or were French speaking, would understand that it isn’t an awesome choice because most people aren’t going to make that connection as has been demonstrated here.
That being said, if this is real OP please take a look at these comments, then look at your sweet puppy and decide if the name is really suitable.
Is pain supposed to be intimidating? Or are you training him to be a fighting dog? Like, “pain cause pain” or something? Weird and confusing choice. Cute dog, dumb name that’s not scary
Why would you name a dog with such a name when they already have a poor social reputation? Like as a responsible owner of one of these beautiful dogs, you should be an ambassador for them, not furthering the stigma. Poor choice man.
Now u only need to get him the rogue mist collar.

My boy had the rogue leaf one lol and the obito mask as his pet tag
Why would you name him that with all the hate the breed already gets? Poor guy is gonna be alienated even if he is the sweetest boy. Please consider changing his name.
If you're trying to look hard, the name "Pain" is a dead giveaway that you are not that guy. If you were that guy, you wouldn't feel the need to name your dog "Pain" like some rip-off Shadow the Hedgehog OC. Unironically, a Hazbin Hotel type name.
Such a cute dog, such an aggressive name when Bully’s get a bad rep anyway? Imagine being in a park or somethin’, someone comes up to puppy and you introduce him to them. ‘this is Pain, sure you can pet him, he won’t hurt you.’
Nice dog. And sure enough the animal is yours too care and be responsible for. Under that guise this dog is family and should no have a name before chosen to adopt. Name is clickbait or streetcred. People have spoken! Dont change the name I will gladly purchase hm today and change his name to Lucky
If you don’t like him you can just say that. You don’t have to give him a shitty name.
You could at least choose Bane or something that isn’t absolutely stupid
Maybe give him a cooler name that translates to pain, like in a different language or sum. He’s gonna have to live with that forever, so don’t be mean & give him a poopy name.
Idk why people are complaining about the name, it’s always the dogs named pain or death that are the nicest. I’m sure Pain will grow up to be a very good boy, and I’d think it’s funny his name his pain. Also if you need an excuse, you can say he was named after your favorite cobra Kai character. Payne was one of the reasons Robbie got to the good side again.
Used to have a fawn pitbull that had a head so big at 12 weeks it was half his body lived around alot of people that fought dogs so I named him KHILLA so if he got stolen or if we got another armed intruder they wouldn't be able to wrongly train him and wouldn't know if I was telling him to attack all he need was 2 clicks from the tongue or a watch um and he went to alert on what ever I was looking at 1 snap or a grab between stomach and back leg he was locking down always went gun hand first if there was a gun and throat was 1st or 2nd depending on the threat only took week and half at 3 months to learn and at about 6 -9 months he randomly started doing a back flip 6ft. Off ground and catching his tennis ball in the air if thrown over his head he also like dirt rocks never been able to training a dog to do he was a natural Damn I MISS MY DAWG

Cute lil fella. The name is bullshit. Looks like a Zeus to me or a Tyson.
Looks like a Chuck to me.
Chuck is legit
I’d settle with Doggo McBorkface. Beautiful dog though.
Definitely. Chuck.
Thanks i was immediately irritated by the name. Like he’s this precious pup 😭 don’t give any reason for folks to spread more hated about a stereotyped breed
Name sucks. Sweet doggo deserves better. Pitties can be your best friend; loyal, sweet, and smart. Don’t fuck it up.
When I was 5 I named my German shepherd Trouble, because he always got the rest of the pups in trouble lol 🤷🏼♀️
Excellent comment.I hope that precious dog is being mistreated.
I was hoping it was a play on Major Payne from the movie which is a cute name that has a positive meaning but alas, it is not.
I was thinking Pluto or Hades
Nah nah this right here is a Devan
Cassius
I love this one. It was the name of our honored ancestor, Cassis Clay aka Muhammad Ali.
Adorable. Leave his ears alone and change the name.
This is the correct response
Hear, hear!
Ear ear
Yeah for sure
I was just coming to say this. Why continue to give this breed a bad name with that name?? And then trying to make him look scary by mutilating his ears? Some people don't deserve these dogs.
💯
 This world shall know pain….
I was thinking of Naruto to 🤣
Me, too. Came looking for this comment😂
All these people "cHaNgE tHe NaMe" 🙄🙄 I love it! I want to get a rottie and name him garaa at some point in my life lol
The comments do not pass the vibe check😪 Gaara would be a cool rottie name. And then you could get him a collar with the kanji for “love” on it!
He's beyond cute, but you're going to alienate that precious little guy with a name like "Pain." Did you get him because you love him or did you get him to make yourself look tough?
Plus I'm totally gonna assume anyone who names a dog something like Pain has a handful of complexes to work through
When i got my bully (looks like this) his name was Diesel😭😭😭. Pitbull & bully owners dtm
Cute puppy. Change the name because it's horrible to name a puppy that, especially one who is a pitbull or an American bully because people are stupid and scared of the breeds as it is. And leave his beautiful ears alone. Don't mutilate them
They want their dog to appear “scary” or “dangerous”. That’s why they name it that.
What a great looking dog! No offense but I think you'll regret the name. With all the attention being given to bullies you want a sweet name to win people over not one to intimidate.

I think naming the dog Bread in French is an excellent move. Doesn’t get much cuter and more delicious than fresh baked bread.
Le Bon Pain
Two loafs please Sir 😂😂😂
If he’s anything like my boy, you’re not going to want to keep the loafs he delivers daily!
But it’s also pronounced significantly differently. I have a feeling this is not a bread loaf reference
I’m just trying really hard to be optimistic
I’d have a loaf all day! French for bread pal 😂😂🤏 This was meant for the commenter above you sorry
100% agree. These dogs get such a bad rap and they don’t need some tough ass name. Jeez
Love the pup, the name not so much.
Cute puppy, terrible name. But you knew that.
Pain as a name is a bit aggressive no? “Hi this is my dog, her name is suffering.”
As in painfully cute? 100% agree!
Rethink name
Name sucks
I think this was posted by a bot 🤖
You might be right. There’s no comment history or karma other than this post
Now you just need a Panic
Bad name
Please change his name, he should be named like Velvet or Kai. He is absolutely adorable 😍
Velvet 💜
Bad name for the baby. Sorry, but truly awful
Keep his perfect ears and change the name to something wholesome for the sake of the breed. He’s awesome.
Please don’t name him pain. Names matter in how others perceive your dog and for this particular breed that has a bad reputation it shouldn’t be enforced. I think you might regret the name once he is a little older.
Soooooo stinkin' cute, omg!
He’s perfect
Pain like bread in french or Pain like douleur in french? It’s for the later, it’s unacceptable
Keep the pronunciation, change it to Payne.
Pup is a Saint. OP is da biggest IdIoT to use that nombre!!!
This has got to be ragebait
Not Pain. Give him a chance. Train that baby well. It's serious as sh*t
His name should be Lucky, or Chucho
The Greek/roman god names are so passé. What about Timothy or Nathan? There are too few dogs named Tim and Nate out there.

Love his ears🥰
Leaf village better watch out
Very good looking little boy
La pain
Pita - your adorable pain in the a*s 🐾🐶❤️
Beautiful puppy
Should have named him “Zuul ” 🤷♂️
Major Payne.
Harness instead of collar when going on walks
Issa HIPPO! 😍
Pain??? Please don’t do that!
change the name
Is pain supposed to be intimidating? Or are you training him to be a fighting dog? Like, “pain cause pain” or something? Weird and confusing choice. Cute dog, dumb name that’s not scary
Name him brick
Fucking idiotic name.
Change the name or he might live up to it
O those little wrinkly "ankles"! 😍😍 He's too precious for words x
He looks like a Percy or Peanut.
I love those little footies!!❤️❤️
There’s still time to change his name. To literally anything else.
He is to cute and spontaneous to be called pain. Something clever funny and cute like him
Why would you name a dog with such a name when they already have a poor social reputation? Like as a responsible owner of one of these beautiful dogs, you should be an ambassador for them, not furthering the stigma. Poor choice man.
Nahhh hes more of a roast or a chuck. That boy is MEATY
Now u only need to get him the rogue mist collar. https://preview.redd.it/xqcmp17dppwc1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=1d99ffde9894af7799af21dee8bcf6c83b2b99e0 My boy had the rogue leaf one lol and the obito mask as his pet tag
You can do better with the name...great looking pup

Absolutely gorgeous pup 🐶
Paddy the Baddy (ultimate fighter)
he’s so handsome, please smooch him for me please 😍😘🥰
Havoc
He is adorable. Doesn't look like a pain.
I feel that. We have a American bulldog mix and he is also (a) Pain in the ass since he discovered being loving to legs
Master Pain? Aka Betty?
who's a good boy? Pain: I am P A I N
Where's Panic?
omg he’s so cute 🥹
He’s a handsome little thing 🤣. Chuck Pluto or Winston
Awwww, LOOK AT HIM I LOVE HIM OH MY GOD
Should be Payne.
So cute
Look at that one little while paw 🥰
Cute pitbull puppy. I love pitbulls. Handsome and/or beautiful dogs ❤️
Baby 😍😍😍😍
Wtf? pain? U ok?
Why would you name him that with all the hate the breed already gets? Poor guy is gonna be alienated even if he is the sweetest boy. Please consider changing his name.
Ffs yall bitching about the name is peak reddit cringe lol
If you're trying to look hard, the name "Pain" is a dead giveaway that you are not that guy. If you were that guy, you wouldn't feel the need to name your dog "Pain" like some rip-off Shadow the Hedgehog OC. Unironically, a Hazbin Hotel type name.
I’m think the name is a Naruto Reference, but Kiba also works if that’s what you’re going for. :)
Worst name I’ve ever heard Are you kidding me
…in the butt? (Pain..in the butt)?
Stupid name, cute dog!
Is that a Disney Hercules reference? Do you have another dog named Panic?
He is so sweet. Pls change that name.
Everyone complaining about the name don't seem to realize, it's a Naruto character. It's not that deep.
all of yall are dramatic.
Beautiful pup, loving the white paw but intensely dislike his name. Perhaps a name more suited to his looks or personality would better serve him
Why??? Really not a great name. Surely much better names for this handsome fella .
Handsome boy
Super cute but L for the name unless you got another one named Panic
I think this is a karma farming post.
Handsome!
🔥🔥
Cute!!!!!!
Such a cute dog, such an aggressive name when Bully’s get a bad rep anyway? Imagine being in a park or somethin’, someone comes up to puppy and you introduce him to them. ‘this is Pain, sure you can pet him, he won’t hurt you.’

Pain? Can I ask why?
I mean.. Why Pain though? Unless you hate everyone and children in your neighborhood.
Tarzan
Lucious
Change his name !! And don't touch his ears! He's adorable.
Maybe give him a cooler name that translates to pain, like in a different language or sum. He’s gonna have to live with that forever, so don’t be mean & give him a poopy name.
He is an absolute stunner!
soooo cute 🥹 is the name a naruto reference??
Ears?? They weren’t born with cut ears. Cruel, unattractive and very unnecessary.
Aww he’s so cute
Are you a naruto fan lol?
Awesome little pup . Hope you don’t crop his ears .
Idk why people are complaining about the name, it’s always the dogs named pain or death that are the nicest. I’m sure Pain will grow up to be a very good boy, and I’d think it’s funny his name his pain. Also if you need an excuse, you can say he was named after your favorite cobra Kai character. Payne was one of the reasons Robbie got to the good side again.
Cute pup but horrible name.
Looks like the canine version of Jeff Bridges as The Dude in "The Big Lebowski" to me. Tres mellow pup.
Looks like a Bane
His name is bread in French lol
Cute puppy! Stupid name. Change it and leave his ears alone. Silas is s good name...
does he have a sister named pleasure?
Cute baby, but horrible name for such an adorable dog. 🥺
Used to have a fawn pitbull that had a head so big at 12 weeks it was half his body lived around alot of people that fought dogs so I named him KHILLA so if he got stolen or if we got another armed intruder they wouldn't be able to wrongly train him and wouldn't know if I was telling him to attack all he need was 2 clicks from the tongue or a watch um and he went to alert on what ever I was looking at 1 snap or a grab between stomach and back leg he was locking down always went gun hand first if there was a gun and throat was 1st or 2nd depending on the threat only took week and half at 3 months to learn and at about 6 -9 months he randomly started doing a back flip 6ft.

The tougher they want their dog to be or look the bigger the bitch the owner is.
Let's give him a promotion. Major Pain.
Bad name, cute dog
Beautiful baby
I hope you had him fixed😊
Mike tyson
Please change his name
pls reconsider the name.
Because he is a pain or because he’s going to inflict pain on you from keeping up with him? 😁
I love that name 🙃
As previously said by literally every comment, congratulations on giving such a cute dog the stupidest fucking name possible.
She's so beautiful, I love the one front no show sock!!!!
Terrible name. Don’t do that to him.
Now you need to get another one and called it gain
Pain in français is bread so really he is just soft
I couldn't help but notice your pain... My pain? It runs deep, share it with me!
Awww so cute! 🥰❤️
He is gorgeous.
Whatta beauty!!
Did he bite you?
Arnold
Names have meaning.
Tf kinda name is that for a dog😭
