This is ridiculous. There are so many more names.

Many dogs share the same name as humans and no one is telling the owners to change their names.

Seems like she is just stirring a fight.

That is actually quite hilarious. I would definitely not change my dogs name.

Oh dear. Someone’s a bit precious thinking they can just ask for someone to do that! Gosh. You guys are definitely not in the wrong one little bit

Why should you change the dogs name? IF she is so intent on naming the baby the same name as the dog, she will have to get used a lot of “the baby or the dog”? comments…
She could always pick another name?

I must admit the name is super cute and is not heard of a lot

That’s a bit funny wanting someone to change the name of their dog because you want to use the dogs name for your baby’s name but don’t want them to both have the same name. People make me laugh.

Not at all. The audacity of her to think she can expect you to change your dogs name for her, is selfish

It’s comical that she wants to name her daughter after your dog. She sounds like a spoilt child who wants everything her way. Do not change your dogs name. She needs to think of a new name for her daughter. You and your husband are doing the right thing so stick to your guns. It would make a good story when their daughter turns 18 and finds out her mother wanted to name her after a dog.

Oh that is funny, you can’t just change a dogs name after 6 years. I’d be sticking to my guns and letting her think of a different name for the unborn child or have the same name as the dog and deal with it.

Firstly what a beautiful name for your fur baby, I don’t think you guys are a**holes, she is the one that is a a**hole of course you can’t change your fur baby’s name, I have a fur baby myself and if I changed his name he would be really confused, and of course they are part of our family.. Don’t take any notice of her, she’s being ridiculous and childish. don’t listen to her and love your beautiful fur baby.

OMG, there is something seriously wrong with your SIL. This sounds like a joke if it wasn’t so real. Your dog is a member of your family and has a beautiful and unusual name that has meaning to you. She would never have even known of the name if not for your dog. She has to get over herself. I thought she just wanted the same name for her child, so can’t believe she has even asked for you to change your dog’s name. Just ludicrous.

There is something wrong with your SIL if she thinks you and your husband would even consider changing your dogs name. Your dog is a part of your family and knows her name. How about your SIL using the name as her little girl’s middle name!

Definitely no A-holes. I was face palming when I read your SIL had a decency to ask to change your dog’s name. First off, you had the dog for a long time and secondly, your dog answers to that name. Your SIL can just lump it and accept that if she wants that name, has to share it with a pet… If not, bad luck, choose another name.
