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 son's dog is Roverandom, named for his favorite childhood story by JRR Tolkien. Of course we call him Rover, though. I visit a friend on weekends while she takes her dog to our local dog park, and visit with border collie mixes, Frank and Sid, too. She, however, is on her fourth in a long line of Rottweilers-Dasher, Dancer, Prancer have passed on and she currently has a lovely Vixen.

I was in hospital once and a lovely nursing assistant called Elsie was telling me about how she had dogs called Fred and Mary. The woman in the next bed said "I hope you've had them neutered, Elsie" and she said "No, not yet. Fred tells me when Mary's in season, then I take Fred to stay with my sister for a while!".

There's a random beagle up the road from us called Jesus.

I've just remembered Pedro the chihuahua.

OhWhatFuckeryIsThisNow · 21/02/2021 21:03

Not mine, but someone on the Wire Haired Fox Terrier fb page called her boy Brillo, which if you know the breed is perfect.
We call our dog lots of pet names, I was out the other day and said “come on sausage.” A little girl stops open mouthed and says “Is your dog really called Sausage? That’s AMAZING,”

Saw it once on the web, an Afghan Hound called 'Malibu Stacey' Grin

Our pets always had human names growing up.

We had dogs called Dave, Bill and Glen. The cat was called Samantha.

A white lab called Custard. He totally lived up to his name, he was such a character. Life and soul of the party, but healthy wise he was a wobbly mess.

Shankley
Tipee (was the runt of the litter and kept tipping over)
Shep
Bruce (little fluff ball)
Diesel because of his colouring

Jarvis (Cocker spaniel)
Wilbert (dachshund)
Ethel (dachshund also)
Graeme (black lab)
Cake (small and fluffy and called so as she is greedy for cake apparently)

Spidey66 · 21/02/2021 21:06

I came across a Gary today and I've met a Shirley.

My colleague has Springer spaniel called Jerry. If I ever got a male cocker spaniel, I'd name him Jarvis.

@VetOnCall

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.
HowManyToes · 21/02/2021 21:07

Pre-COVID I got chatting to a man with a sausage dog called Richmond
