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.

We’ve had a black lab called Jack, (short for black Jack or Jack black) and when he was a pup he slept in a cardboard box then he was a Jack in the Box!

Then we had a chocolate lab named Charlie Brown

And now we has a Swiss mountain dog named Eiger after the Swiss mountain.

In the waiting room of the vets there was a Shar Pei called Mr Robertson. I knew it was definitely the dogs name and not the owner as the vet came out and asked for Mr Robertsons dad!
