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.

My dog is a cocker spaniel, his name is Jarvis - I am not a pulp fan but I liked the name.

I had a frog in my greenhouse, I asked the school children to think of a good name. After school I was informed that the decision was DAVE.
What could I say, so dave it was. 🤣

Years ago we had a Collie and my DH wanted to call him Melon. Although I liked the idea we decided on John in the end.

There’s a racehorse called Overpriced Mixer - although I always think of him as being called KitchenAid.

I knew a Doberman called Eva, a Springer spaniel called Fidget, and a Rottie called Kaiser.

Looking at the Dogs Trust site (sigh), there's Biggles, Binx, Elliot, Enzo, Esther, Groot, Jaffa, Jingle, Puffin, Reggie, Rhubarb, Scooter, Wallace, and Wilbur, all of which I think are good names. Oh and there's Ray the Bullmastiff, which I think suits him 🙂

Eric the Pug and Margot the Jack Russell.

The sister of one of my DS’s school friends was asked what she wanted when her mother was pregnant with him.
‘A puppy’ was her reply.

So when he was born, he was named ‘Pup’. They also got a dog. He was called ‘Boy’.

Often look after a soppy rescue staffie called Spud. Had a cross collie we named Guinness due to her colouring.
