A dog or Digby Brown, the injury lawyers who advertise all the fecking time up here. It's right there with Derek, Neville, Cyril and Dennis - not popular for a reason.

The Dulux Dog!!

BirdyBee · 18/06/2021 13:38

My rescue rabbits name!

Kottbullar · 18/06/2021 13:34

I really love it Smile

The crazy labrador we sometimes meet out on a walk. Totally nuts and off the scale loopy. Usually found racing off at 1000000 MPH followed by the holler of "DIG-BEEEEEeeeee! COME HE-YAAAAARRR! DIG-BEE you naughty, naughty boy" by his stressed out owner who has zero control over him.

Short form = Digger. Not nice.

GreyhoundG1rl · 18/06/2021 13:28

It's very upper class. You'll just seem pathetically aspirational if you're not.

Fluffymule · 18/06/2021 13:26

Immediately think 'Digby Jones'.

Antiqueanniesmagiclanternshow · 18/06/2021 13:26

The biggest dog in the world

PragmaticWench · 18/06/2021 13:26

I adore it! DH vetoed it sadly.

HoldingTheDoor · 18/06/2021 13:24

It's an awful name. Cute on a dog or cat but terrible for a human name.

BackforGood · 18/06/2021 13:21

Digby, the biggest dog in the world

What a lovely film. We refer to an Old English Sheepdogs we see as 'Digbys'

NotTheCatsWhiskers · 18/06/2021 13:13

I know a Digby! Nothing wrong with it.

Very rich male model off Made In Chelsea.

I know a gorgeous Dalmatian called Digby.

Mouthfulofquiz · 18/06/2021 12:58

I think of ‘Sir Digby Chicken Caesar’ from Mitchell and Webb!!

Inthesameboatatmo · 18/06/2021 12:58

It's a good name but not for a human sorry op .

HighNetGirth · 18/06/2021 12:56

Not keen. Makes me think of Digby Jones (now Lord Jones) the rather irritating business spokesperson.

LittleTiger007 · 18/06/2021 12:55

Dog or exceedingly posh

Reminds me of the Narnia books. I don't think it's due a comeback anytime soon.

Classica · 18/06/2021 12:41

Giant dog.

Smartiepants79 · 18/06/2021 12:40

It’s a dog

TatianaBis · 18/06/2021 12:39

I know a human Digby and a doggy Digby.

I think it works better on a dog.
