Male names for a dog

It me with names we can call a dog please.

We have Monty (passed away) Betsy and Murray.

It must be a human name and I like old man names. Percy is my favourite so far but open to suggestions please.

There are some great names here. Thank you

He is a greyhound. We already have two and we had a third who died last week.

We want to avoid M names as both our boys are (were) M.

My friend has a pug called Brian. Which is fab.

I think Roger is a good name for a dog. Or Richard.
My dog is called Dave. He's the best dog in the world

Basically you need to be calling a middle aged man's name out in the park.

Or something like Marmaduke. Or Fido.

I knew a dog called Roach. I asked the owner if he was called that because he had a part missing. But apparently not.

...my children are obsessed with Nick Cope at the moment.

Also met a Golden Retriever called Chris the other day whose owner also used to have a dog called Phillip.

Percy is so cute! Alternatives could be Frank, Stanley or Rodney? I love old man names on dogs too.
