Whether you're the 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 kids chosen decades prior to becoming a family, while others mull over decisions in agony in an attempt not to ruin their child's life or their dog's dignity.

We've all also heard of exchanges where a parent introduces their child and someone with a fur-baby chirps up, "oh that's my dog's name!" It's kind of awkward sometimes but really, it's not a huge deal. Its 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 dog mom and human mom that has gone absolutely viral for the pure 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, the conversation is pleasant.

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

A woman known only to onlookers as "Jennay" had precisely such an event happen to her. Confused, perplexed, and at least mildly outraged, she turned to social media for advice.

I wonder if she knows she can't control how many dogs named Tilly there are in this world?

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

Incoming tantrum? Naturally.

The interaction quickly gained traction and Internet users globally were confused and outraged.

Sound advice, honestly.

Throw it back her way, see how she likes it! I support this message.

By far, this advice is pawsitively my favorite, though!

Although, this one is pretty good, too!

Golly, there are just too many delicious revenge options to choose from.

And you know what, there's nothing wrong with sharing names with a pup. So says people who know from experience!

I don't know if the pregnant woman in question would agree at this point.

"Why didn't I think of that?"

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.

I so long for an update, I hope the Internet provides.
