BIL just used our ds's name on his new puppy...

[Stoppissingonthefloor]

Grr.. That really.
Ds1 is due today and after 9 months of stewing over a name for him ( feel like all the ones I love are spoken for by friends and family's kids) my brother in law has just named his puppy Ted. I could cry. Especially as he named his son Rex which to me is a better dog name..
We had decided a few days ago on Ted Sidney E... But feel that we can't use it now.
Any other Ted-like names we might like? Middle name is Sidney and surname begins with an E.

Go for it, gal.

But, er, I thought jrts were nasty, snappy, nippy. I swore no terrier, no puppy, esp no JRT. Then I was overruled.

We have a loving, sloppy, entrancing adoring pampered pooch. If one of us is depressed or ill he comes to cheer us up. He just want to join us in everything and chase foxes.

He might be your ds' best friend, for ever.

Jack Russells really do live forever! When your Ted is an old man about to move into his plush suite in Shady Pines retirement home canine Ted will still be hobbling around.

But what an arsey thing for you BIL to do! I wouldn't be able to stop myself from having a word with him if I was you. Do he and your husband have one of those jealous/competitive brother relationships?

Oh god this thread has made me giggle (and nearly woken sleeping 6 week old up in process), regarding the "Tid" comment and the getting a dog and naming it after BIL...

Agree that your BIL sounds like a right arse though... I'd be so miffed...

Can see what Craic means. He'll be Ted E. At school. They'll write "Bear" on his nametag. Children can be cruel.

'Ted' born at 4am! After all that bloody drama we decided to call him Luca! Dh suggested it when we saw him, actually love it now there's a baby to associate with the name. 6lbs 4 with lots of blonde hair :)

Welcome Luca ... hope you are both well. X

Oh how lovely!

Just read your whole thread. Best punchline ever ! congratulations !!!!

Wowo wonderful! My nephew is Luca and I think it is a lovely name. Very many congrats op - he can stick his Ted!!

Congrats Luca is a lovely name op :)

Congratulations! Luca is nicer than Ted anyway x

Oh that's wonderful, congratulations!

Ned?

I would just use Ted to be honest. With DS due any day it'll look like he copied you anyway. A child trumps a dog any day of the week.

Definitely get a pet and name it Steven. Get a cockroach or a skunk :)

Oh sorry, I missed that there was more than one page!!

Congrats

Luca is so much nicer & there won't be loads of them in his class to you. Enjoy!

New snuffly baby! How fabulous many OP.

Welcome to the world baby Luca

Awwwww how lovely!

Still go for Ted, it's a dog it really does not matter they have the same names

Just saw your new post.

Congrats on baby Luca!

Our DS has the same name as OH's aunts dog.

We both liked the name early on in the pregnancy, but discounted it because of the dog. We couldn't decide on a name in hospital, and it was in the car on the way home that we both realised he looked liked that name, so we said sod the dog!!

Coincidentally, one of my colleagues has the same birthday as me, and 2 children - one the same name as our DS, and the other the same name as AIL's other dog!!

Ahhhhhh, just seen your update. Congratulations! And welcome to the world baby Luca. Hope you're all doing well

Congratulations! Luca is a nicer name anyway.

Luca is lovely! Congratulations on your new little blondie
