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 eldest DS was non-verbal until 5-6 years. One of his first complete sentences was that he wished he had a cat called Russell.

(we are still waiting for Russell. We have 3 cats and 4 dogs and really cannot have any more right now. thankfully our older grumpy cat has taken Ds to her heart and is with him all day and all night so he is happy with that for now).

@Idontcareifyouknowwhoiam

I know of a tiny Yorkie called Rocky he so does not resemble a fighter) and Hugo, a black Labrador .

DH won’t entertain us having a dog, but I’d love a black poodle to call Mazikeen 😆

I told my DH that if we had another daughter I'd name her Mazikeen or Lucifer if we had a boy as it's a mix of our names (Lucy and Christopher) he booked an appointment to be castrated.... I mean have the snip with a week 🤣😂
Newschapter · 25/02/2021 17:28

I had a dog called Derek when I met DH.

When his mother heard the name she went funny. Turned out her late brother had been called Derek...

Dh never ONCE mentioned to me in the months before meeting his mother that that was his late uncle's name!!

My grandparents dog was called Whiskey, he was a jack russel *@BalancedIndividual*
I had a jack russell as well! (Not called whisky though).

Crazy breed. Most stupidly courageous breed out there imo.

Catscatsandmorecats · 25/02/2021 20:12

Our puppy is called Woof (glad to see he's not the only Woof on here!) DS named him after Where's Wally's dog.

Also love these:
The Pig
Boozy
Betsy

My favourite though belonged to a family friend, she was called Sit. The most lovely dog and it was hilarious shouting for her in the park. To make her sit down you had to say down Sit 😂

scotsgal · 08/03/2021 22:08

Mr Darcey ! When I repeated the name back to the dog's owner (to check I hadn't misheard ) I called it ' Darcey', only to be corrected by the owner that it was Mister Darcey !! Smile

supersonicginandtonic · 08/03/2021 22:12

Our cocker spaniel is called Jarvis and our beagle is a Jeremy:
