'I want to give my son the same name as my dog - but people say it's unfair'

When it comes to thinking of a baby name, it's not unusual for parents to look for inspiration in family members or other loved ones who have passed away that they want to honour and remember with their child's name.

But one mum-to-be won't be naming her son after a grandparent or close friend and is instead thinking of giving him a name that's the same as a completely different type of family member - her pet dog.

The woman said she and her husband both adore their pet pooch Angus and also love the name they chose for their dog, so they want to use it again when they welcome their baby boy into the world, even though their dog is very much still alive.
