Would this upset you? (especially for dog owners)

oh screw him!!! It's not HIS name it's YOUR name. He's an *******.

Dangit and here I was trying to be so nice in my post. I put my big pointy stick away even.

For crying in a bucket, my Aunt and Uncle always name their dogs MISSY. They are fond of the little yappy dogs that their bottom teeth stick out when their mouth is closed and they make snirky noises when they breathe and their faces are so full of hair they drip water every where when they take a drink-and they always share MY name. I'm a big girl and I'm quite capable of understanding they are not naming the dogs after ME, they happen to like the name. ('Sides, it's a different spelling and if they were to go so far as to name the dog Melissa Jo Maiden Married name, yeah I might have to fuss about that)

You could tell him he's lucky he doesn't have me for a DIL.

When I go to the vet, they ask my pets name and my last name and their file is under my last name.

That being said, its definately a cultural thing and I would just let it go and not bring it up with him again. Do what makes you and your husband comfortable and don't bring it up to your FIL again.
