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.

Years ago a friend of my sister walked two little (think they were sausage )dogs, Can't remember both names , but one was called Parsifal.

I once met a black miniature poodle called Pepsi.

A friend has a Hatshepsut, Hattie for short.

Years ago a friend had an extremely bouncy, energetic lurcher called Castrol, as in Castrol GTX. Perfect!

Our Boxer’s mother was called Chaos ( passed this trait onto her daughter)
Friends have Colin and Trevor
As a child my dog was friends with a dog called Pieshop ( because when he was a puppy every time he chewed something he was fairly affectionately told he would be sold to the Pie shop, original name abandoned and Pieshop stuck)

Thanks so much for all the replies, absolutely loving reading them all. Some fabulous doggy names out there!

I have a patient who is a West Highland White Terrier and his name is Kanye.

Kanye Westie grin

In 15 years of being a vet I think it's my all-time favourite.

That’s possibly even better than a cocker called Jarvis.

I've known a few Cockers called Jarvis and Joe, and Springers called Jerry Smile

I find some food related names quite cute, I wouldn't use them myself but I've had/have patients called Noodles (the Poodle!), Butters, Bacon, Beans, Peanut, Macaroni, Kimchi and Sprout.

Very human names are funny too, I've treated a few dogs called Dave, Nigel, Barbara, Doris, Roger, Brian etc. Even a Glenda (scruffy little Lurcher).

I know of a springer spaniel called Jerry. And a cocker called Jarvis.

Met a pug called Winston once.

My favourite is a friends dog called Dougie. Dougie the Doggie. Always makes me smile!

One of DS’s friends has a French bulldog named Baguette.

Aw- I bet that's purely so they can call "Come on, Eileen"! Grin

Our sausage dog is called Roland, so Roland Sausage.. (roll and sausage)

I thought we were hilarious.. but we've since met a lot of Roland's, so it seems we're not as imaginative as we thought...!Grin

Re: Muff. The offered explanation of a fluffy handwarmer seems plausible but I did wonder if she was possibly old enough to have been a fan of Muffin the Mule (aka Muff, iirc)?

I thought I remembered a children's book with dog characters called Muff and Gruff but entering that into a search engine was a mistake.

NuttySlacker · 21/02/2021 22:29

Kipling the Jack Russell. So named because he was ruddy hard (Rudyard).

Grizzlypanda · 21/02/2021 22:31

A boxer called Shorts
A Gordon setter called Bennet
A spaniel called Daniel

SheldonesqueIsUnwell · 21/02/2021 22:33

She must have been in her nineties so she quite possibly had kids around the time of muffin embarassing admissions

I never thought of that. Good spot 👏🏼

SheldonesqueIsUnwell · 21/02/2021 22:34

I’m not looking for muff and gruff either... too risky!!! 😆

PurpleFlower1983 · 21/02/2021 22:39

Some friends of ours have a dog called Douglas.

I met a black lab called Calypso once.

I know someone had 2 dogs.. massey and fergie.. was fond of red brand tractors!

Mangofandangoo · 21/02/2021 22:41

A neighbour of mine had a huge Great Dane called Columbus and another called Pluto

Aw, my dearly departed dog was called Midnight, OP! Glad you like the name ❤️

ImnotCarolineHirons · 21/02/2021 22:44

Beautiful completely black dog called Sirius (yes a Harry Potter fan).

Kanye Westie wins!!
