I agree, that's a really cute name.
Rhymes with "Protracted."

Big Brother Scrappy Sister? Catchy, but it misses the mark.

The trouble is that it might make her seem like a Scrappy character, that is a hated one.

I know, it misses the mark.

Okay Guy
The problem I have with Kitten And Bulldog is that there is no implication that the kitten is the leader.
Maybe Little Leader Big Bodyguard. I know it's bland, you can't get much clearer.

Where does this trope require that teh kitteh is teh leader? From the looks of the page the requisite is that teh kitteh can has protection. Bulldog And Kitten is fine so far.

I guess a catchy name like Kitten And Bulldog could actually help this name get more wicks.
I still want Little Leader Big Bodygaurd as a redirect.

While we're at it, anyone mind if zerky replaces the current image with this?
The one we have now is super poor quality.
I see the Awesomeness.
That's better. Go ahead and swap it.

Casting a vote for Bulldog And Kitten.
Also, may be related to Huge Guy, Tiny Girl.

Hey, someone brought this up again! Yay, this one's overdue for a rename, IMO.
Big Dog And Little Cat? Has the advantage that "big dog" is a common term for big, tough-but-friendly guys. ("Bulldog" is more suggestive of tenacity, which is not what this trope's about).
Should we add a single-prop crowner while we discuss names?
Speaking words of fandom: let it squee, let it squee.
Zzzzzzzzzz
Big Dog Little Cat is a good one.
...if you don’t love you’re dead, and if you do, they’ll kill you for it.

There is now a single proposition rename crowner for this trope here
. If a moderator thinks it is alright to go to alternative titles at this point, I can switch it with that kind of crowner.
Personally, I think the trope should be renamed for the reasons Shale mentioned.
I like Big Dog Little Cat as a possible new name since it highlights the size difference between the two characters.

Casting my vote for Bulldog And Kitten.
I like Bulldog And Kitten better than Big Dog Little Cat because Bulldog And Kitten sounds more like a duo to me.

It should have a comma, like Huge Guy, Tiny Girl.

I'm not sure I like Bulldog. Those tend to be more of a medium sized dog.

Split the difference for Big Dog And Kitten?

Bulldogs fit a tough-guy Animal Stereotype that works well with the trope, though, even if they're not strictly as large as a mastiff or whatever.

But I think they're better known for being tenacious than tough. Never gonna let you go, never gonna give you up. (ducks)
I think the trope is obvious from it's name, not even taking the tropes namer into account.
Am I a good man or a bad man?
Crown Description:
Vote up for yes, down for no.
I really like Bulldog And Kitten.
