Can I give my baby my dogs name?

[Seco2bab]

We lost our dog and want to potentially use her name for our baby. The long version of the name is not how she was called by everyone. It’s not due to dog obsession although we miss her it’s more to liking the name and a shortened version (not the same as how the dog was called) we like that we can link to it as full name

Well, she´d be like Indiana Jones, named after the dog.
I do like the name Nell, though.

Why would telling children that they're not superior to animals cause psychic trauma requiring therapy?

It’s generally quite important to children to know that they are more important to their parents than anyone or anything else.

I was named after my parents' car! They thought they weren't going to be able to have another baby so gave the car the name they liked, then I came along so they gave it to me as well.

No one said the dog was more important. I said we loved her name. The variation of the name was never used with her so it wouldn’t be like ‘oh hey dog child’
I think you have taken this a bit far suggesting therapy. That’s some stupid American perspective of someone’s self esteem or worth. I give my under 2 affirmations every night and he is told multiple times a day how much he is loved. He’s also told off when he pushes boundaries too far…I’ll book in the therapy sessions now because I didn’t let him bite me yesterday

@Seco2bab Have a look atwhat @RogueFemale has been saying.
