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

Whilst I would not give a dog a human name, nothing offensive in my opinion about the choice.

What on earth is wrong with a human name?

No more "good ole mumsnet" than your ridiculous OP. Good to see that with all the real problems in the world you're up front tackling the big issues.

There kids probably just like the name, and most people will never remember that they have a dog named Orla.

Bizarre OP.

Eh?

orla is an Irish name?!?

my children both have Irish names. I love them!!!

They’re born tone deaf. The sooner the Queen has passed and we can start phasing out these hangers on, the better.

What has that got to do with calling a dog Orla?

🙄

My goodness some ppl will try and be offended by absolutely everything.

😂
sorry

I've read so many ridiculous posts on MN over the past decade. This ranks highly on the list of idiocy 🤦🏼‍♀️

YABU

I am also Irish and think you need to give your head a wobble. Christ.

It’s a dog, I assume the children picked the name.

This has to be a joke. I say that as someone who grew up in a staunch Protestant NI family who called our dog Paddy and thought nothing of it.

It has to be a joke. No-one could be offended by this.

Prince William is the colonel of the Irish guards... or he was anyway. When he got married there were shamrocks on his collar. Maybe it has something to do with that?

If they gave the dog a terribly English name people would complain that they were disregarding the rest of the UK. They can’t win really. Has it been slow at home today OP?

Seriously pathetic worry to have, even worse to have got as far as saying it outloud!

Orla is the pup of Luna, sister to Lupo (the Cambridge’s first dog). Maybe the breeder likes using 4 letter names for their litters?

Their last spaniel was called Lupo which is just shocking when you consider VW's emissions scandal and connections to the Nazis. Won't someone think of the children!!?!

They didn't rename ISIS did they? Just killed her off.

I think that's Mr Orange to you.

You do know how many British people have Irish ancestry right? Some of us are Irish citizens and have even lived there! :-0 By your lights I shouldn't even exist.
