This is a very minor thing, but I have been wondering if I offended an acquaintance in a recent conversation. She shared the name of her youngest child to me and I casually mentioned that I love that name and  that it is also our dogs name.

It felt like the tone of the conversation immediately changed and that I may have offended her? It is rude to tell someone that their child and your dog share a name? Ordinarily, I would never think twice about this because it seems like no big deal... but her response made me think of twice. She is the mom of my DDs classmate. I know this is nothing to apologize for, but I’m curious what others think about this? [/quote]

Some people get offended.  We had a dog named Maggie, met a couple with a DD named Maggie, and we changed the dog's name.  From that point on I have never considered a name for a pet that is likely to be the name of one of my child's classmates.[/quote]

This is crazy. My dog's name is Maggie. I would never chang her name must because I met another couple whose kid has that name. I had to read it a few times to be sure I was reading it right. Why did you change the name?[/quote]
