Puppies > Babies

By madmomma - This FML is from back in 2012 but it's good stuff - United States - Veneta

Today, my mom got a new puppy and named her Olivia. Which would be fine, if that wasn't the name I had been planning to give my baby, who's due in 3 weeks. Thanks mom. FML

I guess you should name your daughter Spot so that there's no confusion.

To get revenge, give your daughter a horrible name like Gertrude, Hortense or Griselda. That'll teach your mom a lesson!

Pretty sure that'll just screw up the child. And wow, I've never heard that middle one before, it's truly awful. Maybe just refuse to call the dog anything but those names?

Am I missing something? I think of FML as a humor site, not an advice column. Obviously, giving the kid a horrible name will cause lasting damage to her, but only annoying your mom a bit. Q: Is that Hortense? A: No, she's just keeping her eye out for cops!

Whatever. Olivia is a bad name to give a dog, because you have to train a dog to respond to the word "No," which should mean "Stop doing that." Olivia sounds similar, which can lead to a very unruly dog, as it's not clear on the rules of its behavior.

How in the world does 'No' sound like 'Olivia'?

In what world does Olivia sound similar to "No"? You either must be high or just a plain idiot.

"Olivia" doesn't sound like "No," but I think it's still a bad name for a dog. Who wants to be yelling a 4-syllable name when their dog is about to run into the street or something? It seems like most dog names are just one or two syllables. It's easier for the dog that way.

Call your kid Olivia and make a bet with your mom that whichever Olivia gets potty-trained first gets to keep the name. My money is on the dog. Otherwise, take the dog on a walk near the nursing home. It appears they have dog assassins on staff.

Ask to stay with your mum for a bit for 'pregnancy support' and spend all your time calling the dog something else so it doesn't respond to Olivia. I can't help but feel the mum did it on purpose as Olivia is a beautiful name for a little girl but a stupid name for a dog. It sounds too human.

You should get a pet rat or hideous dog and name it after your mother.
