Seven.

Short for Seven of Nine, which is short for Seven of Nine, Tertiary Adjunct of Unimatrix 01

She was the 7th of 9 pups, we're geeks and we couldn't resist Grin

Coincidentally she's 7 months old now and is THE BEST girl Smile

Also have a friend with a couple of boxers, Fred and George. She says lots (maybe even most) other boxers she has met have names of boxers and the owners always think they have been so original, so she said she has met lots called Rocky and Tyson in particular, but also Floyd, Ali, Frank/Bruno, Lennox and even a Barry!

We nearly called our dog Gary. As it was just such a terrible name for a dog. But when he turned up we just couldn’t do it

@me4real seriously Hmm

My dad's mate had a dog called Pubdog. Always made me smile.

I'm in Wales and there is a dog local to me call Madog, which is a legitimate variation on the spelling of the welsh name Madoc.

My dog is Egon (Ghostbusters).

A friend of a friend has a dog called "Kate Moss The Model". Another has a dog called Toast. I once met a beagle called Bagel.

Best cat's name was Tyrant.

me4real · 06/01/2022 15:44

My cat's old mum called him Kitten and he's definitely not a kitten now.

So how about Puppy for a Rottweiler?

A Dachshund (sausage dog) named Berland, so that when they shout "Come Berland" it sounds like Cumberland.

lifeturnsonadime · 06/01/2022 15:46

from literature 'Popchik' the maltese dog from 'The Goldfinch' .

I have a terrier called Wanda, nicknamed the 'fish', actually named after the Scarlett Witch from Marvel.

Goodness me, haven't you heard? Racism is sooo passe these days...

I once knew two Yorkshire Terriers called Benson and Hedges. Yappy little fuckers, they were. Also knew another YT nicknamed John. As in John Terry(er). Apparently the dog was a randy sod!

There's a GSD next door to DM called Jurgen.

Kiwi an all black dog 🙂

My favourites over the years..

Eric the lurcher.
Dennis the Old English Sheepdog
Violet the bulldog
Dave the german shepherd.

The most baffling was the puppy who came to class, proudly named Fenton.. after the runaway dog chasing deer. Why would you aspire to that?! (and I did ask and yes that was why).

Lord Algernon of the Fattest Pants
Fleighbagge
PubLunch
all dog names from members of doggy forums from years gone by. All brilliant.

thegreylady · 06/01/2022 15:51

I knew an adult Great Dane named Puppy
