Woman Demands This Dog’s Name Be Changed Because That’s How She Wants To Call Her Newborn, Goes Ballistic After Owner Refuses
Most of us want unique names for our kids. Who doesn’t? It’s only natural. Unfortunately, some people have a very warped view of what ‘special’ is and think it has to be completely and utterly unique.
While some people wrack their brains thinking up eccentric-sounding names for their youngsters, others take a more jealous approach. One presumptuous pregnant lady demanded that a woman she knows change her dog’s name because she was planning on giving her (as of yet) unborn baby girl a very similar one. Wow. Unbelievable.

Jennay was astounded when a pregnant woman demanded that she change her dog’s name
A woman named Jennay went on Facebook to ask for advice on how to deal with such an unusual request.
“She says, ‘we want to name her Tillie, but it’s come to my attention you have a dog named Tilly. I’d really appreciate you changing your dog’s name. Obviously, you understand my daughter can’t have the same name as a dog’.
“I’m like WTF,” Jennay wrote on Facebook. According to her, there was no serious reason why she should change her dog’s name because the chances of the baby and the dog meeting together are tiny. Furthermore, Jennay explained how nobody was bound to notice the names were similar.
But the argument didn’t end there. The pregnant woman accused Jennay of not understanding what “a terrible position” she was putting her in because she doesn’t have any kids herself. She also stated that Jennay was “potentially ruining her unborn daughter’s life.” Talk about creating dramas out of thin air. Jennay refused to bow to pressure and turned to the Internet for advice.
People were outraged when they read the pregnant woman’s demands
According to thelabradorsite, the top 5 most popular female puppy names in 2019 are Bella, Molly or Mollie, Coco or Cocoa, Luna, and Lucy; this year, male puppers are mostly called Bailey, Charlie, Maax, Buddy and Cooper.
Meanwhile, Parents writes that in 2019, the most popular baby girl names are Isla, Olivia, Posie, Aurora, and Cora. The most admired baby boy names are Milo, Jasper, Asher, Atticus, and Silas. As you can see, there’s absolutely no overlap between popular puppy and kids’ names. At least this year.
Remember, naming your child and your pet is a big responsibility. You want the name to mean something profound, while at the same time avoiding monikers that are likely to cause teasing. Practical Parenting gives a list of the 10 weirdest names given for babies that should be avoided, such as Diesel, Armani, Chlamydia, Lettuce, Champagne, Sparkle, Magic, Bon-Quisha, Aquamarine-Melody, and Django-Wolf.
Let us know in the comments below what advice you would have given to Jennay and whether or not she did the right thing by refusing to rename her dog.

I would have made a public Facebook post congratulating the happy parents-to-be and saying how honored you are that they are naming their child after your fabulous dog. And asked everyone to share it. But I'm petty like this. Also, If I have another girl I want to name her Rosalie, like my beloved pet dove that died 10 years ago.

Ok I cannot hold back any longer. We live 3 blocks from this woman. We share the same lawn maintenance company. People will NOT work for this witch. She is clinically insane and gets these obsessions over little things and will not let go of them. I know of at least two small businesses that have had to get restraining orders after becoming targets of her irrational rage. My partner thinks she is not just nuts, but dangerously insane, and we are talking 'Fatal Attraction' crazy. This woman has no business having children, and my advice to precious Tillie's owner is to keep her far away from this witch. She is the type to snap and hurt a lot of people. She's a text book case of malignant narcissistic personality disorder.

When I decided the name for my daughter I knew one of my work colleagues had a pup with the exact same name, I didn't mind or even dreamed about asking her to change her doggie's name. After my child was born another work colleague used her name to name his pup, and, as the normal not crazy people we are, just laugh about the whole thing.

I had this problem with my youngest daughter, with real babies. My foster mother's friend came to the hospital with her to see my baby after she was admitted to the NICU at 15 days old. The friend was 7 months pregnant, when she asked the baby's name and was told it was Stephanie, she asked me to change the baby's name in front of a room full of relative's and friends because that was the name she picked for her baby if it was a girl, I thought she was joking. When I explained that my daughter had already been registered with that name and we were just waiting on her birth certificate, so changing her name wasn't possible, even if we wanted to, she got pissy with me. When I refused to give in to her demand, she turned around and told people in the waiting room, that my baby was going to die anyway, so I should not be allowed to keep her baby girl name (in spanish), she didn't think my spanish was good enough to understand what she had said to the others.

"If it was a girl"? I would've go full troll and demand her to go to ultrasound ad bring proof to see if it was a girl or not. Aside that, I hope everyone in the waiting room branded her as a nutcase.

We share the world with other people, but also animals, creatures.. There's millions of peopel probably called Tilly in the world, as much as in the animal world to, sharing the a common name doesn't mean being in the same specie and personality. Tilly could be a dog, human, hamster, lizard.. Or even a butterfly, it's simply a nice name. Maybe this lady doesn't like dogs. Or has a hard time deciding for a name anyway.

btw: My name (Fenja) is a very popular dog name in Germany. When I was a kid, Fenja was an extremely rare name for human girls but a quite common name for dog girls. If you would look into a book about dogs, and it had a chapter about names, you would usually find Fenja as a suggestion. But never, throughout my entire childhood, did I meet another Fenja. Nowadays you can find a Fenja here and there, but it`s still much more common for dogs than it is for humans. I totally like that.

But many people change names after shelter buys.

I had this problem with my youngest daughter, with real babies. My foster mother's friend came to the hospital with her to see my baby after she was admitted to the NICU at 15 days old. The friend was 7 months pregnant, when she asked the baby's name and was told it was Stephanie, she asked me to change the baby's name in front of a room full of relative's and friends because that was the name she picked for her baby if it was a girl, I thought she was joking. When I explained that my daughter had already been registered with that name and we were just waiting on her birth certificate, so changing her name wasn't possible, even if we wanted to, she got pissy with me. When I refused to give in to her demand, she turned around and told people in the waiting room, that my baby was going to die anyway, so I should not be allowed to keep her baby girl name (in spanish), she didn't think my spanish was good enough to understand what she had said to the others.

Nowadays you can find a Fenja here and there, but it`s still much more common for dogs than it is for humans. I totally like that.

Any human should be honoured to be given an Animals name. Animals are wonderful~ most humans are not. The Animals should not be happy to be named after a human.

not to long ago there was an antology of weird and dumb emotional stuff pregnant hormonridden women do, and evrybody was cheering and understanding. just saying, maybe shaming this one particular is not very fair? Just write it off as pregnancy brain and go on with your life instead of this?

Tillie is the name of strange little girl in a cartoon called "The Greens". It's like a modern day Beverley Hillbillies meets the Simpsons. Perhaps this crazy lady should watch it and see if she's still wanting to name her kid that.

Many years ago I had a cattle dog that I could no longer keep due to moving back with my parents. I gave the dog to a cattle farmer who my father knew. He loved her and she was in her element - only thing is, he couldn't remember what I named her, so changed it to Mandy - My name. I took it as a compliment. She was a fine dog and her puppies were highly sought after, due to her intelligence and abilities. :D

Sadly for the yet-unborn-girl, her mother is a f'n moron. No one has a copyright retroactively on a name. What's wrong with the dumb b*tch? She can name her daughter whatever she wants, but she is an imbecile to think that gives her exclusive rights to the name.

"Meanwhile, Parents writes that in 2019, the most popular baby girl names are Isla, Olivia, Posie, Aurora, and Cora. The most admired baby boy names are Milo, Jasper, Asher, Atticus, and Silas." I find it so funny, because Cora is a very popular dog name in Poland, and a friend of mine has a cat called Milu :)

I went up to a coffee cart ( Dutch Brothers) and had asked my son what kind of drink he wanted and when I said my son's name this lady standing behind me asked what my son's name was I said Pierre and she said OMG, that's my dogs name and I looked down and said beautiful dog which happened to be a German Shepard puppy, I didn't care if she named her dog Pierre because it's her dog and it's my son's name.

OMFG ... are you kidding me? My Son in Law had a Pit Bull named Chloe LONG before he met my daughter, who had a daughter named CHLOE. It was a little weird to be sure, but I can guarantee you that the kid & the dog BOTH knew which was being addressed. I think they were both "better" mannered as a result.

No disrespect, but it looks like some people don't have any thing better to do with there life's. She just wants attention and 15 minutes of Fame. Lady please what about other females that have the same name as yours. Do you think that they want to share the same name with a idiot like you. Move on. If you want to give your unborn child a different name them make a name for her, call her "vagina" or "a**s"nobody's dogs has does name. See problem solved. Have a great day!

Someone needs to inform momma-to-be that, in all likelihood, this isn't the only dog named Tilly. In fact you have to go pretty far not find a dog that doesn't share a name with a child some where.

Idk, the closest I've ever come to anything like this is when I picked up a couple of kittens at a shelter. One was named Ben, didn't want to keep it because it was my husbands brother's name & it felt weird to think of him any time I called/ saw my cat. Changed his name to Ragnar. But many people change names after shelter buys.

Years ago, I got a cat from the shelter whose name was Salchi (short for salchicha=sausage). I HAD to change her name. I refused to call a living creature Salchi. She didn't care, though. She was too busy looking for the most comfortable place to sleep and sunbathe.

Jennay (of course in my head Forest Gump's voice is saying her name) is a complete whack job. I would tell her to get bent and go away. Just looking at her personality and how she is acting with her request we have to wonder if her poor daughter will end up acting the same way. If that is the case then I am sure that people will like your dog Tilly much more. After all dogs are man's (and woman's) best friend, people not so much.
