Am I The Jerk: Renaming My Dog?
Found this on Reddit where a woman is asking “AITJ for refusing to “demote” my dog after my sister gave her baby the same name?”
Original poster has had her dog Charlie for 4 years, but now her sister, Emily, says Charlie the dog needs a new name because she named her new baby, Charlie.
Some favorite comments:
*My husband’s uncle has the same name as our cat. Cat came with the name. No one has been confused when I talk about either of them.
*Suggest that she changes her son’s name to Spot or Rover.
*Adopt a second dog, name it Emily.
*My parents had a dog named Sam. 5 years later my sister had a boy and named him Sam. We would joke about it. Sam chewed up the newspaper. Sam the dog or Sam the baby? Sam took his first steps. Sam the dog or Sam the baby? My nephew is in his 20’s and I still call him Sam the baby.
