Lady Demands That Her Brother Change His Dog’s Name So She Could Give It To Her Unborn Baby

A brother unknowingly gave his new dog the name his pregnant sister intended to give her unborn child putting the family in an extremely unpleasant predicament.

A person’s name can hurt someone. People don’t want others to infringe on their name-choice territory because names are frequently selected for personal or particular reasons and they don’t want other family members or close friends to use their names.

A guy took to Reddit to ask for advice after unintentionally giving his dog the same name his sister intended to give her child.

“My sister is seven months pregnant with her first kid,” he said. “She and her husband didn’t want to tell anyone the name of their to-be-born son until he’s born. Fine by me. I’d probably do the same.”

The brother then shared his exciting news. “Well, last week I adopted a pup and named him Eddie. I’ve always liked ‘human names’ for dogs, and growing up on ‘Ed, Ed & Eddy,’ it just felt right,” he said.

“My [girlfriend] posted on [Instagram] a [picture] of Eddie with his new collar and custom dog bowl, and then my sister called me telling me I have to change the name because they are naming their son Edward after her father-in-law and will be calling him Eddie,” the brother explained.

“I told her the dog is already named, it fits him, we bought stuff with the name already, and it’s not like anyone will confuse a dog for a human anyway,” he stated. “She keeps insisting we do so and says I’m already being a bad uncle by not.”

This didn’t go well with many people on Reddit as many felt the man should stand on his ground while others thought he should reconsider.

“The name has more significance for your sister and your brother-in-law,” one of them said. “Is it that much of an inconvenience for you to change the dog’s name? Your sister is under a lot of stress, and this favor, however silly it might seem, would make her feel respected and loved.”

“Your sister will always hold a grudge, and remember you wouldn’t do her this favor on a week-old name for a puppy,” someone pointed out. “Just because you have the moral high ground doesn’t mean there won’t be consequences. It’s not your third cousin twice removed that you see twice a decade. It’s your sister’s son.”

“Pick your battles,” one advised.

Since the brother had only had the dog for a short while, changing his name ought to have been easy at least for the sake of his little unborn Nephew. Or what do think?
