Pup will be joining the family on 7th January but everyone’s so excited we’ve been discussing names already. I’m campaigning for Doris but am not met with a warm reception from the family. I’m a lover of the funny old woman, human names on dogs so any suggestions like that would be great

Names of various fire goddesses that also sound old ladyish: Hestia, Brigit, Vesta.
Or Thora ?

Or the Russian word for fox sounds a bit like Lisa, and the S. Gaelic word sounds like Shona.

Ah Bridget! Sorry not exactly what you said but love that

Ruby? Sort of old ladyish, also referencing her lovely coat?

Bridget is the same word, just evolved a bit.
It's good for a dog, and quite, er shoutable .
