Hector, Lysander or Valentine

[Orangesarenottheonlyfruit]

Actually for my new baby dog, is a black flatcoat retriever. beautiful but a tad stupid, was thinking Lysander after the hero in The Man Who made Husbands Jealous, also beautiful but stupid.
Hector, big Trojan hero, stonking name.
Or just quite like Valentine!

Hector is a wonderful doggy name!

Oh thank God you are talking about a dog! Was trying to think of a polite way to talk someone out of Lysander or Valentine for a human baby.
I'd go for Hector. Lysander, nicknamed Sandy would be nice, but a black dog called Sandy may be a little odd!

What is it with Hector? it's such a random name but yet there are babies cropping up called Hector with some frequency now.

Valentine I love but I wouldn't have the courage! what about Victor? I like Victor.


Lysander. Em. Again, I wouldn't have the nerve. I do like nn Sandy on a boy though. Not on a girl.

Hector is a great dog name!

[fussychica]

I was just going to say "Please don't do it" or "No, just no" but who cares it's a dog - and for a dog it's Hector for me - knock yourself out

[DramaAlpaca]

Hector is a brilliant name - for a dog!

[DramaAlpaca]

Lysander is more of a cat name...

[squoosh]

Phew! I too clicked in to say 'DON'T DO IT!' Hector, Valentine and Lysander sound like a foppish trio that would have been in Oscar Wilde's entourage.

But for a dog you should definitely go with Hector. Great doggy name.

[WillYouDoTheFandango]

Another who clicked on to say none. I like the idea of a doggy hector.

Stupid phone, sorry!

A little boy who lives nearby is called Hector and I always smile to myself as we walk past 'Hector's house'!
