To think Will & Kate calling their dog Orla is insensitive at best

To choose an Irish name for their dog... in light of Britain's history with Ireland.

YABU- get over it, it's a dog
YANBU- it is tone deaf

I think its highly insentative of you to have Nutellatea as your user name. Some people have nut allergies and could die from eating them, how dare you mock them in this way. WOKE MUCH

YABU - It's a name

The Queen's first corgi, from which all the others were descended, was called Susan - bloody cheek!

Are you ill?

My son named our dog "Shamu" for the orca at Seaworld, he liked the name and he was nine when he chose it 🤷‍♀️

I, in no way support keeping whales in bathtubs or condone making them perform, it's a name.

Try and get irrate about something that actually matters instead of ephemera 🙄

Yanbu but only because my daughter is called Orla.

Vanderama · 03/05/2022 18:22

I can't believe you actually took the type to type that out. What a sad little life you must live.

Hahahahaha

If I am brutally honest I think there are far more important issues to worry about

NurseSeacole · 03/05/2022 18:25

What a ridiculous OP.

Looks like a trolling dead cat poster to me.

AGritThatThrobs · 03/05/2022 18:28

@Nutellatea

Dunno but should YOU be calling yourself/promoting Nutella with its links to hazelnut farming and child labour????

ParkheadParadise · 03/05/2022 18:33

😂😂
Who cares.

SleepingStandingUp · 03/05/2022 18:33

Yes OP they clearly hate the Irish and have picked an Irish name to show their perceived superiority over the Irish. I bet they kick her twice a day too just to make the point clear.

AbsoluteShambles · 03/05/2022 18:33

Behave.

Beesevenoaks · 03/05/2022 18:36

Soo ridiculous, half the population care nothing about William or Kate, let alone their dog, its hysterical ..

ElenaSt · 03/05/2022 18:36

Good grief! Why would anyone care what someone else calls their dog?

Rubyupbeat · 03/05/2022 18:38

Totally pathetic and sad thread

Justonemoretouch · 03/05/2022 18:39

A family dog is a precious member of a family. If anything, it's a compliment.

Popgoestheweaselagain · 03/05/2022 18:40

This is a send up, right?

LamaDoctor · 03/05/2022 18:41

A small minds thread. Bizarre, even by MN standards.

IDidntKnowItWasAParty · 03/05/2022 18:47

You are insane, OP.
