Am I Overeacting? UPDATED

Question

So my husband and I have been TTC for over a year. We haven't told too many people as not to get anyone's hopes up. We have talked EXTENSIVELY with my MIL. I have always felt like we had a really good relationship and like she loved me. I've told her many many many times the names we have picked out. Piper Ofelia after my grandma was the ONLY name my husband and I both LOVED and we have been so excited for a girl to share that special name with our daughter one day. Well today I got on Facebook and she had just gotten a dog that she's been on a waitlist for months. When I clicked on the post I saw she named her new dog Piper and my heart fucking SANK. I am honestly devestated. She knew how important this name was for my husband and I, and I feel like she did it on purpose... I talked to my husband but he just refuses to believe she would do that. I can't really talk about it with anyone but I want to know if I'm overreacting...

UPDATE:

My husband and I talked to her and after many tears and a very heated conversation my mother in law has refused to change her dog's name and said we can either suck it up and have our daughter share the same name as her dog or "just pick a new name." I am so disheartened by this whole experience and it is truly a disappointment. Thank you all for your thoughts and advice. 💛

Answer

You are not overreacting at all. The name is after your family member, it's special to you,  and she gave it to her dog?? I would call her on it, and say that the fact that she did that knowing it's your first choice name and didn't even ask you makes you feel like you can't confide in her on private things in the future. I actually think your husband should do so.  She needs to change the name.  There's tens of thousands of names out there, she shouldn't have chosen the one name you told her was special to you.
If she's still being a brat, you could even go so far as to post a reply on her Facebook post "great name, and the exact name I confided in you that I wanted to name my future daughter. You have great taste in names" or something like that. But yeah I'd be hurt.

Answer

Yeah that's kind of fucked up smdh

Answer

It's so mean. That dog won't last forever so name your girl piper anyway.

Answer

No. You’re not overreacting. That’s insane of her. What. I’m shocked.

Answer

Is she old and losing her memory? Only excuse. That’s lame

Answer

Maybe shes thinking since it's been hard for to have a baby that if she named her puppy after your favorite you would be excited l, talk to her about it it might not he to late to change the pups name

Answer

You’re not over reacting, I know the feeling. A few years back my best friend and I were both newlyweds. We spoke about trying for a baby. I confided in her and told her that I wanted to name my son Lucas Alexander. 
Few months later she announced that she was pregnant and told us that she will be naming her baby  Lucas. I froze!! So I asked her...how did you come up with that name? And her response was ..”it’s been in her heart for some time now.” I was so crushed and so mad at her! but I guess it worked out because I gave birth to a girl  lol 😂.

Answer

I'd be so upset! It sounds like she did on purpose. If I was you I'd talk to her and ask why she did it

Answer

Id raise hell.... Thats beyond messed up.

Answer

My husbands niece did this. 
She’s trash. Like she loves drama and lives off “fighting” people. She would get involved in things she had no business getting involved in. When I was pregnant, our step kids were starting drama and she got involved. Sent me Snapchat messages and threatening to “beat my ass” 🙄

Anyways we had our last daughter and we don’t announce names till after our kids are born. 
This bitch went a got a dog and named her our daughter’s name. 
My husband refused to believe she did it out spite. I on the other hand refuse to have anything to do with the lot of them and their ridiculous petty drama.
