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

[Whadda]

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

One of my instructors from army basic training had a Shar Pei called Nigel used to make me laugh every time I’d hear him calling for the dog

Our neighbour's dog is called Kenny. Always makes me smile.

One of my labradors was Roy.

I once met a whippet called Gerald. And a pair of cats called Ducati and Yamaha.

I love being at the vet when they come out and call by the pet’s name. My favourite was for Cookie Edwards. Sounded like a daytime to presenter.

I have a dachshund X called "Neville". Most think an ode to Neville Longbottom but actually my son named Him after the Wobmat in Kangaroo Beach 🤣

When my exh (named Dave) and I got our first dog we named him Rodney. After Dave.

That's my favourite so far

I know a big fat Labrador called Barry. There is also one who lives near us called Alan.

A friend of a friend has a cockerpoo called Virginia Woof!

Elvis - a ginger tabby cat.

Pedro

Bruce 😊

My friend has a cockerpoo called Alan. My former colleague has a Brian.

Not a dog (the oddest I've come across is 'Magic') but I've had some horses with bloody weird names! I had a 'Dunno' as when he was born it was a case of 'What shall we call him?'... 'Dunno' so they just went with that, and another horse, totally unrelated called 'Maybe' - Maybe what?!

In the vets waiting room a beagle got called in ahead of us called Jeremy, that amused me for some time

Our much beloved and departed dog was called Eddie. After Meatloafs role in the Rocky Horror Show.

Arthur Pendragon 🐾

He’s a cutie Staffie-cross with a huge smile and a cute padded coat for when it’s cold.

A boxer called Punch. Personally I prefer human names. I've still not got over the tragic story of Alan the dachshund in Conde Nast's revolving door.

@EdithGrantham - LOVE that!

I knew someone with cats called Fred and Mary West 😬, he found it too embarrassing at the vets though, so renamed them Girl Cat and Boy Cat.

Colin
He’s just the sweetest dog I’ve ever met
I must ask where his owner got his name from

My friend has a bulldog called Steve, and my uncle has a mastiff called Alfred

A mongrel named Vyvyan Bastard (this was in the 80s ).
Two white GSDs, Barry and Brian.
And I met a black Labrador, on the beach yesterday, named Mycroft

Ian !

It's a cat name. I hope that's allowed. He was called Nimrod after the mighty hunter in the Bible. I plan to adopt a rescue cat and if it's a boy that's going to be his name. Diana (the huntress) if a girl.

But I hope they're like Nobby my last cat and named because he had no front teeth like the 1966 World Cup winning English footballer Nobby Stiles). Nobby Stiles was a fearsome defender but my Nobby wouldn't hurt a fly.

I once saw a poster for a missing ferret named 'Ryan Giggs' (at the time, Ryan Giggs was footballer of the moment) which amused me for some reason. I hope they found Ryan the ferret in the end!
