With common surname, thinks Davies/Harries sort of thing?

I think Talula is nice for a dog , how often are you actually going to use the whole name . I know a bulldog called Louella , it suits her . My dog has 3 names and a surname , they are rarely used , it’s generally the shortened version of his first name .

@Saylavie

I'm sorry.. I've misled you all. This is what my mum has just called her dog. I told her it's awful and sounds like a stripper and she said that was a ridiculous thing to say. I just wanted to see if anyone else instantly thought stripper.. which multiple did Grin

She got the full name and her own surname embroidered on to everything. It's just awful 😂

Apologies for misleading... as a side note do people usually give dogs surnames? Is that a thing? My dog is called Dave. Just Dave! 😂

Dave the Dog.

Love it.

Mind you Shane Ritchies kids names are on a par... Confused

Awful.

I have a vision of a dolled up woman on kitten heels calling out her dog's name in the park

User4272946730203 · 16/11/2021 17:42

Talula-Belle is awful. Sorry, but it sounds so desperately like you're shouting 'aren't we a bit whimsical and cool! Please find us exciting!'. The effect is very much the opposite.

@SparklingLime

What if the dog wants to become a solicitor?
Exactly!

Does your Mum totter about on fake Laboutins with a permanent duck face perchance?

Tal45 · 16/11/2021 17:21

I love this thread OP. Your mum is hilarious and bonkers.

SummaLuvin · 16/11/2021 17:20

Hate to break it to you, but strippers are people too.

Iamanicepersonreally · 16/11/2021 17:19

Oh, it’s okay for a dog

Iamanicepersonreally · 16/11/2021 17:18

I’d find it difficult to take someone called Talula-Belle seriously. I’d imagine an airhead with no substance. Sorry

AngelicaElizaAndPeggy · 16/11/2021 17:16

Oh my days, have just read that it's for a dog!! Fabulous, keep it. It's dreadful but assuming that the dog is a small Pomeranian and not an ex-police Alsatian drug dog, I think she will be a real character who is known and loved throughout the community 🤩

AngelicaElizaAndPeggy · 16/11/2021 17:13

I read that as taula-belle, sorry 😬. Think because it's so long and has a hyphen to confuse me even more.

Why not just Tallulah and Belle as a middle name? And then you can call her them both together if you like, still?

DukkaDukka · 16/11/2021 17:07

I love that you have a dog named Dave. I like proper people names for animals. Like Steve.

ISpyCobraKai · 16/11/2021 16:59

Oooooh, now I know it's a dog, I take back what I said.
Call them whatever daft names you like.
My cats all have middle names and I use them when they are pissing me off misbehaving.

It's a bit Ru Paul Drag Race.

What does she call her for an Everyday name? Lulu?
Our cat ended up with a very complex name, so why not TalulaBelle MacKenzie!

stalkersaga · 16/11/2021 16:56

I was all ready to post "she won't need a stage name for a career in stripping". So.

1forAll74 · 16/11/2021 16:55

It would sound like one of those names, chosen by a plastic type celebrity, who isn't really a celebrity, just a pretty posing woman, who has managed to marry a footballer or some other type of man, who calls himself a celebrity too..

ISpyCobraKai · 16/11/2021 16:54

Its bloody awful.
