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 am born, bred and buttered Irish and Dublin 🙄and to be quite frank you are so full of it your eyes are dark brown. Jog on.

DorchaAndLouis · 02/05/2022 18:49

YABU my dog's called Murphy and no one's taken offence.
And I'm Welsh.

ApolloandDaphne · 02/05/2022 18:49

Hahahaha. Don't be ridiculous.

Cas112 · 02/05/2022 18:49

Oh gosh, grow up

sammylady37 · 02/05/2022 18:50

I’m Irish, about as anti-monarchy as it’s possible to be and even I couldn’t care about this.

PersonaNonGarter · 02/05/2022 18:51

It’s a sweet name for a baby or a dog.

You are being a dick, OP.

plinkyy · 02/05/2022 18:52

Or perhaps they named it an Irish name to honour and build bridges with Ireland

that's what i assumed, they need all the positive PR they can get.

Squiff70 · 02/05/2022 18:52

You need something real to worry about 😜

StationaryMagpie · 02/05/2022 18:52

Clearly you're bored with not being in school today. I hope yr 7 is treating you well!

RaininSummer · 02/05/2022 18:53

Wouldn't even have occured to me. It us an unusual name for a dog but can't see the problem.

FairWindClearSailing · 02/05/2022 18:54

Yeah much better for them to continue to hate and ignore everything Irish...

ApplesAndChalk · 02/05/2022 18:54

Catch yourself on!

Hertsgirl10 · 02/05/2022 18:54

Ffs 🤦🏼‍♀️ 😂

Stodge · 02/05/2022 18:55

Good grief

Chica10 · 02/05/2022 18:55

What on earth are you talking about?! This must be a wind up?

Georgeskitchen · 02/05/2022 18:55

Is this a joke?

emuloc · 02/05/2022 18:56

Organictangerine · 02/05/2022 18:43

Yep, people love to feel like a victim

You both sound ridiculous.

Mouk · 02/05/2022 18:57

It's just a name LOL!

YABVU

I'm Irish BTW.

I'm Irish BTW.

And I'm gonna hazard a guess that the OP isn't Irish!

UtterlyUnimaginativeUsername · 02/05/2022 18:58

I'm Irish. It's a pretty name for a cute dog. I think it's rather nice that they chose it.
