...it seems too weird!

He's called Struan which in itself is quite nice but my parents have had a dog for about 12 years and he is called Struan! I can't get my head around a human being called this!

What do you think of that name?

I really like it. Unfortunately am not scottish and with our scottish-sounding surname would have sounded ridiculous here in SE.

My nanna got a dog earlier this year and called it the same as my dd

Could have been worse. Rover would have taken some getting used to.

I know someone who named their DS3 the same as my Mums dog, Travis. It does seem weird!

I do like the name Struan though. Can't see it as a dogs name tbh but then you are used to it as a dogs name.

Oh, and a prolific MNer has just called her baby boy Struan.

I love the name.

I think it's an odd name for a dog.
