If there is one lesson that expecting parents don't tend to get taught, it's that they should be careful who they choose to share their favorite baby names with. Sometimes, the most surprising of people jump on the first opportunity to use it for themselves. While in principle, there isn't anything wrong with reusing a name, it can often result in hurt feelings. The name you give your child can be a very personal thing.
Taking a name for a human baby can be hurtful enough, but it can add insult to injury when it is used for a fur-covered one. This is what one pregnant woman dealt with after her sister casually called her puppy by the name that she had publicly coveted since she was a teenager. She was not happy to be confronted about it by the expecting mom, and it quickly snowballed into a refusal to attend a wedding.
