‘Boyfriend says my cat’s name is rude and awkward – but I refuse to change it’

City: London. So, there’s this woman who got a lot of support for sticking to her guns about her cat’s name. She adopted this adorable cat named Luna two years ago, and they’ve been inseparable ever since. Luna even helped her through a tough breakup last year.

Now, her boyfriend Tom, who’s 29, thinks she should change Luna’s name because it’s the same as his sister’s. Can you believe that? She shared her story on Reddit, saying things were going great until Tom dropped this bombshell.

They were moving in together, and everything seemed perfect. Tom loves Luna, and she seems to like him too. But then he said it was weird to call her Luna since his sister is also named Luna. At first, she thought he was joking, but nope, he was serious. He even suggested names like Shadow or Misty, but she just can’t picture calling her anything else.

She told him that Luna knows her name, and changing it now would just confuse the poor cat. She even offered to use nicknames like ‘Lulu’ as a compromise, but Tom wasn’t having it. He still felt it was too similar and uncomfortable.

Things got even messier when Tom’s sister found out and sided with him. She claimed it was disrespectful to keep the name and accused her of being insensitive. Now, Tom is upset, and there’s tension between them. Some friends think she should just change the name to keep the peace, while others say it’s unreasonable to expect her to do that.

So, she turned to social media to see if she was in the wrong. One user said, “Dump the boyfriend, keep the cat name. Maybe his sister should change her name instead.” Another chimed in, “You don’t rename your cat. That’s just a weird request.” And someone else pointed out that getting offended over a cat’s name at their ages isn’t normal. Sounds like she’s got a lot of support!
