What’s everyone’s thoughts on this name?

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

Inthesameboatatmo · 18/06/2021 12:58

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

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

I know a gorgeous Dalmatian called Digby.

Very rich male model off Made In Chelsea.

I know a Digby! Nothing wrong with it.

Digby, the biggest dog in the world

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

HoldingTheDoor · 18/06/2021 13:24

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

PragmaticWench · 18/06/2021 13:26

I adore it! DH vetoed it sadly.

The biggest dog in the world

Fluffymule · 18/06/2021 13:26

Immediately think 'Digby Jones'.

GreyhoundG1rl · 18/06/2021 13:28

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

clarrylove · 18/06/2021 13:32

Short form = Digger. Not nice.

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.

Kottbullar · 18/06/2021 13:34

I really love it Smile

BirdyBee · 18/06/2021 13:38

My rescue rabbits name!

The Dulux Dog!!

MaMelon · 18/06/2021 13:58

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.

I normally think it's a bit ridiculous when a poster asks an opinion on a name and people say it's a dog/cat/guinea pig etc name as pets can be called anything, but in this case, Digby is definitely a dogs name!

SunSeaSurfGin · 18/06/2021 14:10

Dogs name IMO it tends to be a batshit terrier

SunSeaSurfGin · 18/06/2021 14:11

In my experience even

nothingcanhurtmewithmyeyesshut · 18/06/2021 14:13

As long as you're naming an English Sheepdog, it's a great name.

MiddleParking · 18/06/2021 14:15

I was at school with a Digby. Always thought it was lovely. (I don’t care about people’s dogs enough to be bothered by the dog thing.)

2tired2bewitty · 18/06/2021 14:21

Digby Chicken Caesar for me, though possibly a bit niche
