[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would not tell someone that their kid has the same name as your dog.  [/quote]

+2  Of course it's rude.  You love your dog, OP, but most people don't take "your kid is just like my dog" as a compliment.  [/quote]
 Noting a shared name is not at all saying your kid is just like my dog! [b]It is saying they have the same name, which....they do.[/b][/quote]

Bringing up the dog at all is where the (unnecessary, and rude) comparison comes into play.  If somebody showed a picture of their new baby and it had black hair, it would be bizarre and rude for someone with a black lab to say "she has black hair, just like my dog!"  Just because something is true doesn't mean you have to bring it up as a point of comparison.  You also shouldn't say "wow you have blue eyes, just like Hitler!" and then act confused when someone thought you were comparing them to Hitler, since this concept seems to be difficult.

Honestly, as someone who has had and loved many dogs, when people act like they can't understand what's off about this interaction you're making us all look bad.[/quote]
