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

[Nutellatea]

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

She'll be claiming offence through that mouthpiece of hers .

That's as pretentious as the OP, such pseudo-concern for others.

Is everyone on the wine today? 2nd ridiculous thread I have read.

I have a dog called Patrick ( born on 17th March, hence name) , who was born in England, lives in Scotland, but maybe that's OK as my parents were Irish..🙄🤣

They should have called it Vladimir.

I'm Irish, YABU.

Eh?!

Do you have a life?

I'm Irish and know loads of Orlas/Orlaghs
Don't know anyone you uses a fada!

There are loads of kids in England called Orla, it’s very popular at the moment. She probably named it after a friend at school or something.

But yeah why not bash a 7 year old over the name she chose for her pet 🙄

My dm was an English Protestant, my df was an Irish Catholic from the South and we were brought up in London post WW2. A happy family, although we were used to comments made about the Irish

Bonus is I'm also a citizen of the EU

WTAF

My Dad’s English and married my Irish mother… should I too be banished from the shires???

You’re being **ing ridiculous

This is either the daily fail or someone desperately in need of a life, hobby or spiritual enlightenment!
it's a big world out there honey, try it and see! Promise!

Ahh this was a good one thanks OP :)
Almost as good as the gifted daughter who got Alice in Wonderland for her birthday

Loads of people give their dogs human names, I think it's cute.

I've met a good few dogs over the years with the diminutive of my son's name.

Somehow I've always managed not to be offended by it. In fact I think it's a great name for a dog.

Jesus Christ, it’s not like they called it Gerry Adams.

I'm more upset they gave their child the same first name as George W. Bush!

Yet more Brit bashing. It’s getting really tiresome now. If you are so ashamed of our past then why associate yourself with anything that is British. I’m fed up if feeling like I should apologise for the actions of people who lived hundreds of years ago just because I happened to be born in this country. Do you also feel that anyone who is British is insensitive if they give their baby an Irish name? I know at least 2 Orlas and 2 Aoifes. Should their parents be challenged on their choice of name?

Eh? 😵‍💫

Pathetic

I'm Irish ☘️

This is a pathetic post, utter drivel

You beat me to it!
Crazy thread.

Quite possibly one of the silliest posts I’ve ever seen on this site.

Fun fact
Orla in Hebrew means ‘foreskin’

Hopefully the dog is named after an Irish princess than male anatomy!

It's a lovely name my cousin ,s daughter is called Orla ,her mum is Irish but I didn't know you need to have Irish heritage to use names ?
I like human names for dogs .
