[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I can't lie, I'm irritated at a friend who named her dog my son's name several years after I'd had my son.  We are part of a bigger friend group, so it's not like my kid will see this dog a lot.  But it's still really irritating to me.  I'd rather have a friend name their kid the same name, but a dog feels insulting.

I actually sort of hate it when people use common names for their animals in general.  Lets keep it to Sparky and Snowflake.[/quote]

My friend was clearly pissed at me for naming my dog the same as her daughter. But I’ve loved that name for years as a dog name and it took forever for us to decide it was time for a dog. It was also a common dog name (like Molly), I wasn’t naming my dog something unique like Calista where it would be obvious that it was the same name as this little girl. Nobody says “ohhh Molly like So and so’s daughter Molly?”  It’s just not a big deal. I wouldn’t be offended if a dog had my name or my kids’ name. People get so weird about names and it makes zero sense to me.[/quote]
