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.

@Flaunch

I once met a dog in the park called Simon.

I’m after a pup at the moment and if I get a dog I’m going to call him Amos.

How very dare you- that's what I'm calling my dog! Grin After Amos in The Expanse!

Festus is the best dog's name.

I know an Ethel and an Elsie - there seems to be a craze for old lady names for dogs round here. I've 3 dogs and see a lot of dogs out and about, it's a real dog hot spot here. There's a Lab called Ronnie too.

I used to know an Elvis who was lovely and a bit of an escapologist. He regularly jumped over the garden wall, trotted along the lane and took himself to the local pub for an hour or two Grin

Also, when we bought our first house, it was inhabited by a collie called Filthy Bob.

After an awful amount of vaxxing, we had to throw away several carpets. Filthy Bob was, well, Filthy!

I was listening to a radio article the other day about urban walks. Can't remember the owner's name, but the whippet was Mr. Whippy!
It’s Evan Davis the presenter’s whippet 😄
