Whether you're a parent to a human or a dog, chances are you are well aware that choosing a name is not always a small, simple task. Some people have names for their pets and children chosen decades before becoming a family, while others agonize over decisions in an attempt not to ruin their child's life or their dog's dignity.

We've all heard of exchanges where a parent introduces their child, and someone with a fur baby chimes in, "Oh, that's my dog's name!" It's kind of awkward sometimes, but really, it's not a huge deal. It's not like you're going to look at your kid for the rest of their lives and see your acquaintance's dog from then on out, right? You'd think so, anyway. However, a recent exchange between a dog mom and a human mom that has gone absolutely viral for the sheer audacity involved is a shining example of just how far some people will take the name game.

Can you imagine: you're minding your own business when one day an old acquaintance or friend messages you, striking up a friendly conversation. She gives you a brief update on her life, sharing exciting news! Everyone is happy, and the conversation is pleasant.

Then, it suddenly takes a turn for the awkward. Your friend makes an unexpected demand: change the name of your dog because she wants to name her baby that. What would you do?

"Obviously my daughter can't have the same name as a dog."

On the contrary, you could just... go with the flow and stop being so uptight about something as frivolous as the name of a dog you don't even really know.
