In Spanish it was called La fuerza del cariño Maybe goes to prove there isn't a good translation for this expression....

@Crotalito: "poppy" es una amapola. "Puppy" es un cachorro (de cualquier sexo).
@María José: movie title translations don't have any commercial success, according to marketeers, so they always change them. I have even seen Spanish or Latin American movies whose titles have been changed in Mexico "for commercial reasons". As for the topic itself, the fashion among younger people is to call their partner "bebé" (as an adaptation of "baby"). And the strangest names for pets I've heard: Parrots: Simón, Arnold (because of Swarzenegger), Alberto (the owner couldn't decide between Camus and Einstein). Cats: Gollum, Habermas, Theodore W. Adorno (this is said to have been Julio Cortázar's cat). Dogs: Katia, Bruno, Ícaro, Goliat... and one of my neighbours had two old english sheepdogs called William and Charles (he said William's brother, Henry, was being raised by someone else).

Hmmm...
I befriended a family from Chile here in the US, now they are back in Chile (he retired). The funny part of this family, was that dad was nicknamed "pollo" (chicken/chick), mom was nikednamed "mona" (female monkey/ short for Mónica) and the son's nickname was "patico" (little duck)...the family dog was named "George" |
