Most of my animals I've had during adulthood have had human names. We currently have Adelaide (the dog), Ozymandias (Ozzie for short), Astrid, and Phillip J. Fry (cats). Our now passed guinea pigs were called Hendrix and Marley.

Had the cat been called Elizabeth even before the niece was born? Then the demand by the mother-in-law to change the name of the cat would be really ridiculously selfish. If not, still you can give your pet the name you want. Maybe you can change the cat's name from Elizabeth to the same name as the mother-in-law's.

My art teacher had a dog named Viggo. "That is the craziest name for a dog", he giggled, - until one day, he met another man with a dog. My teacher presented Viggo by name, expecting an astonished look in the other mans face, - but he, in turn, calmly presented his dog as --- Hans! :lol:

Yay! Another Viggo!! My collie was named Viggo. He came to us with that name. He was replaced., and we wanted to keep the name his previous owner had given him.


Also known at least two dogs named Oskar.
