Best dog names you've ever come across

What are the most memorable, unique, or lovely dog names you've come across that you will never forget?

I met a dog called Beetlejuice today, thought it was brilliant! I also used to know a dog called midnight, never met another one but always loved the name.

Massively outing, but we have Brego (he's the size of a horse so close enough) who goes by Lord Bregerson the Third occasionally. My favourite though was meeting a lurcher in our local park whose name was Griff Rhys Bones. 🤣

Muff. An elderly but sprightly fluffy white pompom of a dog.

All I heard was Muff. Muff. Mu-ufff as I passed someone’s back garden.

A little lady with about 40 years on me was responsible.

I’m guessing she was going for the resemblance of the thing that used to keep hands warm and was genuinely too lovely to know the other version.

I was telling myself that...

Happymum12345 · 21/02/2021 22:12
