…to ask what’s the best dog name you’ve ever heard?

[Whadda]

Funny/cute/witty/daft… let’s hear ‘em.

On the footy show in Australia many years ago, they invested in a greyhound and called him Nads. Each week, they'd broadcast the race Nads was in, all cheering "Go Nads, go!!" Still tickles my funny bone

My nephew has a Weimaraner named Chewit, often shortened to Chewy and a Boxer named Bozo.

Our retired greyhound was retired because he won his first couple of races and then stopped winning. He’s going blind with an eye condition so he’s been named Basil the Faulty Greyhound. My sister has a matching one but refused to call him Manuel.

I know the most gorgeous dog called Julie.

Our dog is a stocky little black-brindle Staffy with white front legs ("opera gloves"). I'm not sure why, but people tend to laugh when they learn that her name is Betty.

Albus Dumbledog

@limitedperiodonly - brilliant 🤣

Leonbergers are big, but I met a particularly large one at a bark in the park event. His name was Chewy, short for Chewbacca. He was a handsome boy.

English bull terrier - Bunty. Met at the vet's on Thursday.

Name changed for this... We've had Fluffy the bearded dragon, Budgie and Bingo the parrots (muchas confusion at the vet with Budgie), Muffin Maclay like a bundle of hay (fluffy cat) Slinky Malinky (sleek black cat) both from Hairy Maclary books. And Iris the dog.

My neighbour had two dogs named Gladys and Maud

Spuddie and Branston Pickle

Two Jack Russell's called Max and Paddy.

I've a cocker spaniel named Jarvis aka Jarvis Cocker

I have a pug called Nellie and a cat called Simon.

Dogs respond better to names with sharp emphasised sounds, such as SS or KK or 'TT'. Our childhood labrador was called 'Whisky'. (Our dad was a drinker. We also had hamsters called Sherry and Guinness.)
Softer consonents are not so good, ie; 'Growler', 'Henry' or 'Warren'. So if called at a distance, dogs may not hear easily due to their audial range.

I Have friends who called their dogs Fuggly and Askit . Fuggly because they reckoned he was, and Askit, so they could say his name when ever they were asked "what's your dogs name?" Lol

An ex of mine had a glorious, enthusiastic sheepdog-mix mongrel called Boogie. So - Get down, Boogie.
I loved him for that alone!
