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.

@Lucked

There is a 80s film with a dog called C’mere (come here) and I always thought that was clever.
We had some friends who went on holiday to France and thought it strange that all the dogs seemed to be called Viens ici.

My colleague has a sausage dog called sausage.

@BlankTimes

Always said our Airedale should have been called Willy Eckerslike.

As in Willy Eckerslike do as he's told. It works best in broad West Yorkshire accent.

Being a Yorkie I love this

I show my dogs and I’ve come across some great ones in the show rings, the following ones I immediately think of - none of my breed because that would be too outing. We have some VERY odd names in my breed!

Nigel (actually met two Nigels)
Clown
Martini
Destiny
Gordon - who’s dad was The Fat Controller or FC to his friends
Tina the Rotweiller
Macaroni and Cheese were two toy dogs I came across once

I also knew a delightful setter called James.

Dug - dug the dug for his full title 🤣

HopeHappy · 22/02/2021 12:22

Dogs called Dave are the best - especially when they're running off and their owner is chasing after them shouting "Dave! Dave! Come back 'ere!" in an East London accent! Grin

I've also heard of a Dee-Oh-Gee (or D O G), which I thought was pretty genius!

ultragroupie · 22/02/2021 12:27

We have Tony Spinone who lives near us, also on a walk I met a big fluffy dopey dog called Hubert which was a perfect name for him, for some reason Grin
