Aaron Schlechter loves dogs. Or, he loves naming them, anyway. It is a unique skill he has honed over time to honor a very special friend of his from childhood.

"When I was about four years old, our family got a dachshund...and my parents let me name her. After a great deal of thought, I chose the name 'Coco Cutie.'...The shame," Schlechter told Mashable. "That dog deserved better. I recognized I had a problem, and I've spent the last three decades trying to overcome it."

Schlechter has gotten better at naming dogs since he was a kid, and he wanted to share his gift with humanity by launching a Kickstarter campaign with a goal of $3,700.

Kickstarter got wind of Schlechter's dog-naming campaign, which incidentally violates their guidelines. The first rule on Kickstarter's guidelines page is, "projects must create something to share with others...at some point, the creator should be able to say: “It’s finished."" Wandering the earth naming dogs is not included in this category.

"I looked at Kickstarter's general 'rules' page when I signed which was quite reasonable...I figured I was covered. I'd be creating a lot of dog names. I guess there was fine print somewhere? Sadly, an important need remains unmet," said Schlechter.

Originally, Schlechter's campaign was simply to raise money so he could name people's dogs (and cats, according to one of the perks on his campaign). People who contributed a base donation of $1 would officially have their dog named "Donald." More generous contributors could get a more creative name.

The only tangible thing Schlechter had included as part of his campaign was a hypothetical book on the art of dog naming. While he eventually changed the campaign to focus more on the book when Kickstarter asked him to, he apparently did not take kindly to the change.

Schlechter has yet to make an official change to his campaign, but according to a post on Reddit, he is hoping to extend his goal to $1.2 billion in order to buy the entire site so he can change the rules.

While presumably there are plenty of people who would like their dog to be named Donald, it may not go down well with Kickstarter. A user tried to buy the site via campaign back in 2012 and failed miserably.

Sadly, Schlechter will have to take solace in the fact that Kickstarter didn't just outright delete his campaign. He's going to have to either start writing that book, or maybe move it to GoFundMe, where they will likely welcome wandering dog namers.

Still, the campaign does go into great detail about Schlechter's philosophy on good dog names, including how they have enriched his life and how they can help you make friends and even give your dog a happier life.

When asked what makes a good dog name, Schlechter said, "Donalda is a good dog name. Kimmy Gibbler? Not good." We're just going to have to agree to disagree there.
