Man Upsets Stepdaughter With The Funny Name He Gave A Rescued Cat
One of the fewer hands-on aspects of pet care is naming your pet, but it may be just as difficult. Finding the ideal pet whose personality complements yours might have been simple.
However, giving your pet a name that reflects their personality can occasionally be even more. Your pet receives the name and associated identity, but you are the one who chooses and uses that name for the duration of your pet's life.
The name you choose for your pet reflects both your personality and that of your pet. However, selecting a name doesn't have to be stressful.
You can narrow down which name is best for your pet in the same way that you narrowed down which pet is best for you. For this reason, planning ahead and conducting some research will be quite beneficial to your pet's name selection.
The OP of today's story rescued a nine-week-old kitten from the middle of a busy street. After a trip to the vet for assessment, chip scanning, and a thorough search of local social media, he decided to keep him.
One of the first things pet owners do when they bring a new feline companion into their home is to give them a name, and that is what the OP did. But then, the name he chose didn't settle well with his wife and stepdaughter, and you're about to find out why.
The OP writes...

The OP is considering surrendering the point even though his pet license and microchip all say Speed Bump

OP has offered the following explanation for why they think they might be the AH:
Action: giving a cat a morbid name. Reason: I have a young, sensitive child and maybe it was a poor choice.
And the comments from other Redditors roll in...

It's a horribly inappropriate name but still funny

Giving the cat a better name

OP's daughter not being a fan of dark humor

Funny cat names are just plain entertaining. Cats are known for their eccentric dispositions, and a humorous name guarantees that your cat will never take themselves too seriously.
Funny names can capture the essence of your cat's personality, emphasizing their best qualities or the things that irritate you! You can get ideas for a humorous name from your cat's personality or appearance, or you can choose something that simply makes you laugh but speed bump? Oh well...
That can be very upsetting to a child

This Redditor has four cats and each one has a real name

It's probably a bit morbid for the child

For this Redditor, the OP is the AH

Sometimes you want a name that makes you chuckle, captures the essence of your pet, or just sounds ridiculous. Every time you call his pet, you'll find out that a humorous cat name brings a little laughter into your home.
This might be what the OP was aiming for, but his family wasn't in support. Redditors found no AHs in the story, and you too can drop your verdict in the comments section.
