OP’s 11-year-old son had longed for a pet, ultimately choosing a hamster named Amy. However, when OP’s sister-in-law discovered she was naming her daughter Amy, she demanded they change the hamster’s name, sparking a heated debate. Despite attempts to compromise, the son refused to rename the hamster, leading to tension between the family members. OP defended their son’s choice, arguing that the connection was harmless and that forcing a name change was unnecessary. While the sister-in-law and brother accused OP of selfishness, OP stood firm, emphasizing the importance of their son’s feelings in the matter.
