Sister named puppy the female version of my son's name

[Anonymous]

My uncle named his dog after his daughter. No joke.

Not a big deal though I would have run it by you first

I did it with my own kid and a dog I had growing up! Honestly it took me a while to realize it. She is a teenager and thinks it is funny.

No, pp the op does not own names. It isn't even her kid's name!

Op is a drama llama

My son has a traditional Irish name, not a name given to dogs that I’m aware of, and my SIL is not from Europe or the United States, so it is not a name she would have likely ever come across without having met my son, who was already born and named for many years before she and my brother met. That I thought was odd behavior.

So if she was from Europe or the US she could give her dog the Irish name? Now we actually have to be from the country before we name our animals? Well, I named my cat Merida and I am not Scottish! Oh dear! People might think it is "odd"

No? It would still be an odd name for a dog. I was pointing out that there is little chance my SIL would have known this name without having met my son. She is not fluent in English and it is not at all a name in her country of origin. The fact she did it while separated from my brother was odd.

So what. Grow up

So her son is named Sophia?

As the mom of a Lucy and the aunt of a Maggie and a Molly, I don't even blink at this scenario. An aunt named her dog after her grandmother, who I think would have been honored. This is not a big deal. Animals more often have traditionally human names than names like Fluffy or Fido, so it's going to happen.

Yes, dummy.

I did this in reverse! My first beloved dog was Lucy, and years later I gave my son the middle name “Lucas”. I love the connection.

DC son's name is Butch, the dogs name is B*tch. That's so wrong.

If you’re really upset get a pet rate and name it after her but add a “y.”

See how that goes over.

Yes. The kids picked the name. She spelled it so it's the same as my kid. Think Sean and Seana

OMG, that's really sweet! The kids picked the name, presumably because they love your son! I can't imagine being offended by what children name their pet.

"Yeah, we used to have two gerbils, but Larla died. She was really, really fat."

Fun story to hear over and over and over again.

That is hilarious. I would be cracking up every time they told that story.
