Pregnant Sister Wants Man To Change Cat's Name


Man, we wish this was the first time we were encountering a ridiculous situation involving one person expecting the other person to change their cat/baby's name, because they want that precious name for their baby as well. It's a strange and completely delusional situation of ungodly entitlement. All you can really do with anyone who is making that request of you is to try and give them the reality check they so clearly need. This scenario sounds like such a nightmare that it's genuinely hard to believe it's real. For another ridiculous situation involving some baby name drama, check out this woman's sister-in-law who wanted to name her baby "Alibi."

Text - Text - AITA for not changing my cats name for my sisters baby i swear im going crazy with this. i have two cats, Tonks and Dio. Tonks named after the HP character and Dio's name is a little funny; named after digiorno pizza. Just liked Dio and my mom and i thought it was funny. So now my sister has been saying shes gonna start trying for a baby. Im like cool okay congrats (not a big fan of kids myself but good luck to her). Fastforward three months and shes pregnant and starts talking bab

Text - Text - JohnChapter11Verse35 • 11h • Asshole Enthusiast [8] 14 Awards How is the cat named after her son when the cat's literally been in existence for 11 years before her son was ever created? Word of advice: get your cat microchipped and take plenty of pictures ASAP. If your sister's boyfriend has already found a new home for your cat without discussing it with you first, he might just take the next step and "disappear" Dio entirely Reply 1 11.2k 3 ... +

Text - Text - mightymikek7 • 12h • Partassipant [1] NTA. If someone casually told me to give them my cat because they didn't approve of it's name I think I would absolutely lose it. Your sister and her boyfriend are out of their damn minds and in response to this behavior I would extend my cat's name to match their baby's middle and last name also. Q Reply •.. 635

Text - Text - _its_only_forever • 12h • Asshole Aficionado [15] 1 Award NTA I would actually suggest changing his name to "Dio, The First Of His Name", though. Just to be clear to anyone who may ask in the future about the order of priority. Reply 4.6k ...

Text - SoCuriousAml • 12h • Partassipant [3] NTA It's the other way around - she's naming her kid after your cat, as her baby (who might even be a girl) is born so many years later than your cat. This is ridiculous. Stand your ground, OP. Reply 658 ...

Text - Text - Cinder9653 • 12h • Asshole Aficionado [14] NTA and it is completely ridiculous that a friend of her bf would have the cheek to text you to suggest something like this. It wasn't even your sister or her bf that started the convo, which makes it even weaker of an argument from their side. I'll never understand people who legitimately think they own a name once they've chosen it for their baby. It's as if that decision automatically translates to a patent in their mind. The petty side

Text - Text - Demetre4757 • 8h Oh God. NTA. You would also not be the asshole if you created some personalized items for the cat. I'm envisioning: A cat bed in the corner with a calligraphy wall decal spanning both of the adjoining walls: Dio's Domicile Throw pillows with his picture printed on them, embroidered with "Dio's Digs" Personalized food and water bowls labeled "Dio's Dishes" Litter box labeled "Dio's Droppings" A cat door labeled "Dio's Door" mean, this cat obviously needs his own wal

Text - Text - Natinxa • 12h Sooooo NTA, like it hurts how much you're NTA and they wanna make you feel that way like fuck. IT'S A FUCKING NAME. They need to get over it and either stick with the name they want or if they're that much of cry babies about it pick a different name. That cat is fucking 11 years old, even it was less than a year old this would be stupid so it just makes this an especially stupid request. Also fuck that person who texted for them and casually tried to be like l'll tak

Text - Text - cdiddy19 • 11h NTA my neighbors I was really good friends and shared a driveway with adopted an old dog with my same name... It was very confusing at times. I'd ignore people thinking they were talking about or to the dog, or l'd go to someone saying my name only to realize they were talking about or to the dog. The dog would also come when people were saying my name. It was confusing... But the dog was old and had her name, and I'm a person and had mine, yeah it was confusing but

Text - PhotoKada • 10h NTA. Dio's name is a little funny If I didn't read any further, l'd have assumed you name Dio after the JoJo character. Still a lovely name regardless. Question. Why would she think you'd be fine with rehoming your cat simply because he shares the same name as your nephew? Reply 1 59 3 ...

Text - Text - eipten • 11h • Asshole Aficionado [13] NTA. So what if your cat & her baby have the same name? It's really not that big a deal; my grandma's dog and I used to share a name & it was like "haha that's funny" if we both came when the name was called but it was literally never an issue. Also, it's just plain entitled of her to expect you to change your cat's name or even give it away as if it weren't family just because she likes a name. Reply 1 15 ...

Text - Text - Longjumping_Number39 · 8h • Asshole Enthusiast [9] Every day, I move a little closer to believing that potential parents should undergo psychological and IQ testing before having children. NTA. Also, you might want to baby proof your sister's house. Not to protect her baby, but for her and her husband. They might start licking the outlets. Reply 22 ...

Text - Text - SomeCallMeTiimm • 11h NTA Tell her it was the cats name first so she shouldn't name her child after your cat. You should also tell her that she can't call her son Fuzzy-Butt as that is also your cat's name. Reply 1 103 ...

Text - Eeveenings • 11h • Asshole Enthusiast [9] NTA. Congrats by the way on figuring out time travel. I suspect that you will be traveling back 11 years in time in the next 6 months so you can name your cat after your sister's child. That's a huge deal! Try flipping the tables and instead of defending your cat's name make her question naming a child that... "Geez pretty messed up naming a kid after a cat.". Yeah but it's a family name... "Except no one knows that family member but everyone know

Text - Neildavies • 11h NTA - names are names and in 10 years nobody's going to care that there was once a cat with the same name. I literally heard a woman yesterday picking up a prescription for her dog that has the same name as my daughter - and I didn't lose my shit on this woman. Reply 1 12 ...

Text - _A_Brit_Abroad_ • 8h • Partassipant [3] NTA The cat is not named after her son - the cat was born and named years before the kid was first thought of let alone conceived - so the kid is named after the cat. She is being disrespectful and entitled asf as she does not have autonomy on the name and should not be demanding you rehome an animal - animals are for life. Maybe she can use the name as a middle name? or get over herself as her kid will not be the only one with the name in the entir
