Meaning and background
The story behind Eros
Eros has a Greek love meaning and a specific mythological association with the young god linked to Aphrodite. Those are two connected parts of its background, rather than an invented description of a pet. Classical Greek and modern English reference readings are not identical. For a dog, the short spelling offers a substantial mythology story without a long call. Consider whether you want that recognisable romantic association or simply the sound, since other people may bring the deity to mind immediately.
