(the initial poster or OP) begins by explaining that they just recently embraced a terrific cat from a shelter called Millie. “That’s the name that the shelter offered her, I believed it matched her and she reacts to it, so I didn’t alter it.”
Well, the concern now is ‘s cousin. “The other week, my pregnant cousin ‘Carrie’ (who I’m reasonably near to) published a list of prospective infant names on her social networks and Millie was on the list. I commented to advise her of my cat’s name, and she DMed me to ask me to alter Millie’s name due to the fact that she and her fiancé truly liked that name for their child.”

But, the OP said no. “I declined due to the fact that my cat had her name initially, and Carrie called me self-centered for valuing a ‘dumb cat” over her child. I informed her that my cat is not dumb which I wouldn’t mind if her infant shared a name with my cat, however if it was a problem for her, she might pick a various name. She once again called me self-centered and said she needed to go,” they went on to explain.
After sensation clashed about the circumstance, asked their sibling her ideas about the circumstance. She said that while she comprehends where he was originating from, children ought to come in the past family pets. “She said that it would be truly sort of me to alter my cat’s name which she understands how essential a couple’s ‘dream name’ is,” they concluded, asking readers for their viewpoint.

Here’s what some individuals needed to state:
“You’re not an asshole. Two beings can have the exact same name and deep space will not implode. Keep your cat’s name!”

“My sibling embraced a dog with the exact same name as our sibling. He called her to ensure it was fine and asked if she’d choose the dog had a various name. She resembled, ‘Why? My name is amazing, there ought to be more people on the planet!” It’s quite apparent when somebody is discussing an individual vs. an animal.”
—
“The minor part of me firmly insists that if you do in some way get blindsided or guilted into altering your cat’s name, you ought to alter it to ‘Carrie’ rather or whatever cousin’s name is. They’re making this unusual. ‘Outweird’ them.”

“My sibling was pregnant, just instant family understood, Daisy was on the lady list prior to my sibling revealed my cousin purchased a dog and called it Daisy. My niece is still called Daisy, no one cares, no one believes she was called after the dog. You were right they can either still utilize Millie or choose a brand-new name, they may alter their mind by the time the infant shows up. Also if she publishes a list of prospective names on social networks, is she attempting to book all the names till she selects?”
—
“My auntie and uncle had a dog with the exact same name as me. Somehow my moms and dads and I both endured this very distressing experience.”
—
“I’m attempting to envision a circumstance where this might ever in fact be a problem, however whatever I develop is unreasonable. The family appears at an event to satisfy Millie and they’re all upset due to the fact that they were anticipating a cat. OP posts a photo of the cat someplace with her name and granny is worried that her granddaughter has actually changed into a cat. The veterinarian inadvertently sends out medical records to the pediatrician and the infant is cracked and made sterile on the planet’s stupidest case of medical malpractice. All terrific triggers for a high school innovative composing class, however absolutely nothing that a sensible individual would be worried about.”
—
“If it remains in a list of prospective names, calling Millie ‘the dream name’ is a little bit of a stretch. Also, Millie is incredibly typical and there is actually absolutely nothing stopping them from calling their child Millie. How much is this kid even going to be around this cat? How is this even a problem at all? The cat already had this name.”
—
“It may simply be pregnancy brain, however your cousin is acting entitled. Your cat already has a name, it’s Millie. If your cousin doesn’t desire her child to share a name with a cat she can cope. Your sibling though, she’s off her rocker.”
—
“’Babies matter more than family pets.’ 🙄 Family is family, I dislike when individuals dismiss the value of non-human relative. Besides that, it’s simply a name. This is such a lame thing for them to focus on. Keep the name.”

Well, it appears very few individuals are siding with the pregnant mother or the sibling. But where do you stand?
