@Brahumbug

My friends Staffordshire bull terrier is called Semtex.
Yuck. For anyone who lived through the troubles in Northern Ireland that's pretty distasteful.

Shit; shit, shit for gods sake dog I said SHIT; I looked at this older lady a tad perplexed & asked her is your dog really called Shit; oh no my love I’ve got new false teeth & I’m asking him to put his bum on the floor before I throw his ball but the little demon is ignoring me; poor dog…..I walked away crying. I’ve never laughed so much walking my dogs xx

I have a Siamese Fighting Fish called Jurgen and a couple of goldfish called Diogo and Little Mo. That makes my position on sport pretty clear!

I was travelling by train in Poland years ago and there was a family in my carriage with a small dog that they kept calling "Hodge". I thought that was a cute name until someone told me it wasn't the dog's name it was Polish for "come here" (spelled Chodz).

When I was younger I knew someone with two dogs called Roxy and Ferry … that places me very definitely in the 80’s 😁

I follow two dogs on Facebook, an English bully called Piglet and her sidekick Grumble, a British bulldog. Both completely gorgeous and really suit their names!

I plan to call my future dog Indiana. Those who have watched a series of films about a fictional American archaeologist will get it.

@Nanarchy

I know a cockapoo named 'Womble'. It really suits him, cos he's always wombling around on Wimbledon Common!
@Nanarchy - I read that too quickly and, being MN, I read "Cockwomble"!

Just be grateful they didn't call her, Pussy.

Briggs, a yellow Labrador from years ago. It was actually his owner-family name but it suited him so I called him Briggs from then on. An older lady Labrador in the same household was Mrs. Briggs. I never found out their actual names.

@JeffThePilot

I used to have two cats, brothers, who were polar opposites of each other. One large, dopey, passive, no common sense. The other smaller, wiry, bossy, whip smart.

They had to be George and Lennie.

Excellent.

Work colleague has a dog called Marcel. Never heard him on any work call, perhaps dog just mimes.
