The name of his Cu is Stains. What's wrong with that? In R/L, my dog's name is Spooky. I thought it was just a cool name for a little dog. Until I found out it's a racial slur, which is why my in game pup is not named such. Try calling that dog off a black cop in your driveway...

Dont feel bad, I had a dog named Spook, I had no idea that it was a racial term at the time I named him that. He was a weimaraner, and the breed is known as "the grey ghost" Therefore at the time of naming him it was between that or Casper, I didn't like Casper and the poor lil puppy didn't respond to it either.
You can ask anyone, I'm not a racist person, even my co-workers that would stop by my house didn't mind the dogs name, so if the name of your r/l pet offends anyone, and you had no cruel intentions by naming him that, then I would say let them worry about it, you shouldn't have to. After all you ment no harm in it.

It's very easy to turn anything into a racial slur of some sort. As Insta said, it's all based on the intention of naming it that. I know the people who get offended won't see it the same way. My best friend in high school was black, and had a a white dog named "cracker". He named it when he was 5. I don't think anyone was ever offended by it, and they didn't really think of how it would offend until one mother heard about it and FREAKED OUT saying that they were racist etc... No pet name is safe unless you name them a human name... which is ********. lol.
