[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Call me crazy but the request itself does not sound like the worst thing in the world. She's not the first person to have a name they've always loved picked out far in advance.  And while it's not off the table for her in the way it pretty much would be if it was your child not your cat, it's still going to feel at least a little strange for her to use the name, say in the next three to five years. Especially if you are a relatively small family and do keep contact.

Think of it this way, if by happenstance she had shared in conversation before you ever got the kitten that she's always loved the name Ophelia and wanted to use it for her child one day, you would never have used it for the kitty (I hope).

Obviously her communication style is way off and you are not obligated to change the name, but if you separate the substance of the request from the style and put yourself in her shoes, maybe you'd find that there are some other names that would work just fine for your kitty.

Anyway just a thought. A thought I fear I am typing in response to a fake post but hey it's still a little fun to consider these scenarios, whether real or not  :)[/quote]
