Now you know OP. Next time, keep it to yourself.

I get what you are saying, but the way the conversation went down was different than that. We were talking about our children and she shared with me that they named their youngest Ruby because they love old fashioned names. We were actively talking about the name in question so it felt natural to share my own experience/love with that name? I didn’t realize it would steal her thunder.

You didn’t steal her thunder.

You were rude and obnoxious.

There’s a difference.

No she wasn't. If her friend is the type to be upset that her daughter shares a dog's name, she should have chosen something that no one would name their dog. Ruby is right in the cute, two-syllable sweet spot for dogs (see: Lucy, Bella, Lana, Ava, Lila, etc.).

This is hilarious. Those are all human names, and people should avoid them because it's recently become trendy to name dogs human names?

Dp. What if they ask you directly what your dog's name is? Sorry but you people are too much!

That's not what happened.[/b] Someone said "My daughter Ruby" and OP said "OMG just like my dog!" [b] Dog people do this all the time.

Way to dramatize. [b]I casually responded that I love that name and that it is also my dogs name. Did you even read the original post?

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.

You are officially absurd. I am moving you to the bottom of the covid vaccine priority list.

You must be lost, this is a forum for parents of human children. Also lol at dog mom.
