[quote=Anonymous]I don't think it's okay to have a pet named the same name as another member of the family. If the line is drawn because the daughter doesn't live there full time then I think that's also problematic because it insinuates that she is not a full fledged family member. Aside from the emotional argument, I think it will lead to a lot of confusion. Calling to the dog will lead to "oh not you, Katy! I meant KatIE." and honestly, if I were the girl, it would break my heart if my dad and sibs first thoughts on hearing the name Katie were toward the dog and not me. There are easily googleable articles about how to change a dog's name. If for some reason those methods don't work then I think they should change the name to something similar enough sounding that the dog will probably get it. Off the top of my head there's. Sadie, Lady, Amy. Gosh, even *Casey* (which is still super close to Katy) would be better than using his daughter's exact name. [/quote]
