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

you have enough time to give head space to people you’ve never met/never likely to meet have named their dog ?
fucking hell , that’s sad
really
really
sad
& not in a funny way

Everyday's a school day

Eh?

Now that would be an inappropriate name!

Oh ffs, some people really stretch to be offended these days

I'd understand it for a golden retriever not a brown dog.

It's a different spelling of my name and I don't care.

I'm Irish and the thought never even crossed my mind!

Our dogs all have names that could probably be associated with someone or something. We chose the names because we liked them, and for no other reason.

This post is just trying to make something out of nothing.

Her brother has social and emotional health needs.
He has a large number of dogs- really too many for 1 person

What is the eh about?

Irish here also, couldn’t give two fcuks if they called the dog Saint Patrick never mind Orla. There are more important things going on in the world surely.

You'd love my cat's name then.

I’m Irish and not offended.

That said, my dog is big and daft and I’ve called her a name that I associate with big daft English women so I’d be a hypocrite if I judged them.

Just wait until you find out what the MP Alan Clark called his three Rottweilers, @Nutellatea...

Maybe they just really love Derry Girls?

You're actually having a laugh..... you're offended for an old historical reason of a dogs name.
You need to give your head a good wobble.

If you know , you know 🤣

You are being so silly.

Jesus, Mary & Joseph and the wee donkey.

And I thought Isis from Downton Abbey being renamed was batshit crazy.

Erm…maybe don’t Google the Sussex’s dog’s name if that’s how you feel about the Cambridge’s dog’s name…

My daughter has an Irish name and my father in law was in the British army, should he be offended too? 🤦🏻‍♀️

Dear Christ!

YABU, it’s a lovely name for a lovely looking dog.

My Irish great grandmother was called Kate - should I be offended that a British duchess is now using the name?

The dog was gifted to Princess Charlotte and the name means golden princess. I assume the dog came already named.

Oh do get over yourself! What a ridiculous comment.

I had a dog called Orla. You’re being ridiculous.
