Mom Gets In A Debate With Her Co-Workers After They Questioned The Silly Names Her Children Gave Their Family Pets
Children are fascinating when you talk to them. They don't filter their thoughts yet and spew the most ridiculous things they know without a second thought.
They are honestly so hilarious and creative when their imaginations are allowed to run free. With her guidance, a mom gave her kids full creative control over the names of their family pets.
They have two guinea pigs, one hamster, and a dog. As you can imagine, the children took this task rather seriously.
The dog was given the name Fondue. It was named after a fictional My Hero Academia dog that OP's daughter read about.
Their fuzzy white hamster was named King Boo. The name was taken from the famous King Boo of Super Mario.
OP had the honor of naming one of the guinea pigs and called it Sister. The last guinea pig has the wildest name of all, thanks to OP's son.
Her name is King of Bagels Snomson, the Third King of Slayer of Gods the 17th. Her friends call her Snom.
OP doesn't know where her son pulled the name from, but it is definitely memorable. Their names are too good to be kept within the family, so OP's co-workers got to know the animals when they visited for a get-together.
They commented that the animals' names are odd
u/OrangePomegranate82OP said the animals do not really know or care what their names are
u/OrangePomegranate82The adults were divided if kids should be allowed to name pets and one of them pointed out that pets should have proper names. OP doesn't think there is anything wrong with what her kids chose for their family pets.
u/OrangePomegranate82Kneel Before Me So I Can Knight Thee and Freddie Mercury Not Kruger are some of the best pet names I've heard!
Lady_DeliriumOP's colleagues are missing out because names like these are incredibly fun
Lady_DeliriumOP's kids are going places because these names are so, so creative
OrangePomegranate82OP was correct, the pets don't even know that they have names. As long as they get everything they need, they will happily answer to any name.

Plus, these odd pet name thing is not exclusive to children. Adults call their pets all sorts of names, too.

Maybe snom the guinea pig is the rules of all the guinea pigs of their land. We don't know their backstory!

OP's children do not deserve the scrutiny they're getting over the silly names they came up with for their pets

They will have a million other nicknames on top of their actual names anyway. It's really not that big of a deal.

Giving family pets a person name is also funny. Would OP's co-workers appreciate it better if one of the pets was named John Williamson V?

It's not like OP's kids named their pets anything vulgar. They were just having fun.

Is a dog named Oreo or Hotdog any better than a dog named Fondue?

They seriously clutched their pearls over a silly thing such as kids giving their pets adorably creative names

OP has nothing to worry about. From the looks of it, she is an incredible parent with amazingly creative children.
They will never have a boring day in their home. OP doesn't need to worry about what her colleagues think, she has a happy home filled with happy children and their weirdly-named pets.
