Sorry to post twice in one day, but the post 2 below this ("named after dog?") is sort of like the problem I'm having. I have always LOVED the name Dakota, but when I was 15, I named my rabbit Dakota. Therefore, I'm a little concerned about naming my CHILD after my rabbit (or so it would seem, I just have always loved the name, and wanted to name my kid Dakota, but obviously wasn't thinking about having kids at the age of 15). Consider this before answering: My rabbit is 5 years old, and they regularly live to age 12, if not 13-14. Therefore, every time my child would go to grandma and grandpa's house, they would interact with the rabbit that was named Dakota first. Is this terribly troubling to anyone else, or just to me? Obviously, only close friends and family are aware that I have a rabbit named Dakota (and it's kept at my parent's house, anyway), but I'm not sure if that lessens the problem at all. What do you think?
