Are they just jerks?

I'm still kinda mad that my IRL friends & family don't like the puppy's name.  Which is too bad, because she's responding to it & it's my dog!  I would never tell them that their dog's name is dumb.  That's like telling someone you don't like what they named their child.

I guess I better just get used to it.  Someday when we have a baby, I'm sure (I hope not though) I'll hear it again.

So, go ahead tell me the truth.

    This is exactly what I was thinking. I hope they can keep their mouths shut then!

  • People can be dumb, what would they rather you name him Fido??

    DH's uncle was the worst of them all.  He made me a list of possibilities... let me see if I can remember them.

    1. Carrie
    2. Pebbles
    3. Jasmine
    4. Goldie
    5. Lily
    6. Rosie

    I know there were more, I just can't think of them right now.

    My niece wanted me to name her Rapunzel & call her Rap for short. lol.

  • Your friends are jerks. Chilli is a cute name for a pet and it's fitting (she likes the snow! it's cold!)

    My cat's names are Thumbs (she has thumbs) and Tundra, people gave me crap about Tundra cause they thought I named her that after the truck (DH in fact drives a tundra) but I named her Tundra because she's huge and white and reminds me of an animal you'd find in the great Tundra forest. I tell anyone that says anything to shove it! It's my pet I'll name her ***-face if I want! You should do the same.

    We sometimes dog-sit a dog named Lilli. It gets really confusing, and last time we were going with "Lily the big girl" for DD and "Lilli the dog."

    Lily is a stooopid name for a dog, in my humble and unbiased opinion. So are most of the other names on that list. That'd be like naming your dog Bob.

    I am dying to see her picture, BTW, but whatever site you used is blocked at work. i shall have to wait until I get home.

    I really do like it, but sadly, your above point is probably the truth.  I haven't gotten too much negativity on Kennedy's name, but there has been some.  I don't care.  Not their kid.  They want to name a baby, then they can have one.  And the same goes for dogs IMO.

  • Wasn't Chili in TLC? Just tell everyone you are a big dedicated fan...

  • You shouldn't have to defend your pet's name.  H and I made the mistake of asking people to weigh in on our cat's name (Theo or Gus).  When "Gus" won some people voiced their disappointment.  It's just a cat, people!!!  More importantly, it's OUR cat!!!

  • Lilli is my dog's name!  I think it is perfect for her.  Why do you think it's dumb?? Although my H and I agree that if it wasn't her name we would name our child that (if we one day have a girl). 

    And my BFF'S mom named her dog Bob.  LoL now that I agree is dumb!
