Can we name him Freddo?

This is for a dog, just as a disclaimer!

DC really want him to be called Freddo... we have a Rolo already, so they like the fact they "go" with the whole chocolate brands theme Grin but can we really use Freddo? It's silly, isn't it? I'm certainly not sold, but he can just become Fred but then why not just have his official name as Fred

Do we keep the DC happy with the name choice!?

Yes absolutely call him Freddo!

underneaththeash · 09/08/2023 20:39

You can call a dog anything.

AS long as it's not racist or offensive.

Well yes, of course, but will we be judged at the vets or dog class or anything else lol

Very cute, why not! 😁

I thought you were asking for a baby 😆😆

ScoobyBooby · 09/08/2023 20:43

Go for it !

Snugglemonkey · 09/08/2023 20:44

Of course you can. If someone is judgy, they are a dick, so who cares what they think?

Unless I am completely missing something I think you are overthinking

MrsRandom123 · 09/08/2023 20:53

Of course you can & it goes with Rolo

Awwlookatmybabyspider · 09/08/2023 20:53

I think something is missing from your post op

ItsNotRocketSalad · 09/08/2023 20:53

Only if he's 10p. Anything more causes riots.

NopeNotMe1 · 09/08/2023 20:54

I once met a dog called Ferraro so I think this is tame for a chocolate theme 🤣

PelvicFloorClenchReminder · 09/08/2023 20:59

Is he a chocolate lab?

ActDottie · 09/08/2023 21:07

Freddie is fine I actually quite like it :)

CurlsLDN · 09/08/2023 21:10

Freddo is a much more sensible name than rolo, it’s fine!

Backtothe90splease · 09/08/2023 21:10

Love Freddo!

I'd suggest

Crunchie
Skittles
Wispa
Toffee
Mars

Not sure what 'judgement' it would attract tbh

You can name a dog anything you like 🧐

We liked Wispa and Oreo too! Felt Oreo might be a bit overused and wasn't sure if Wispa was better for a girl.

Yes, I'm definitely overthinking it, as I do think his name is important Grin

You definitely will not be judged at the vets for his name! I've worked in vets and love seeing names like this. They always bring a smile to me, even if the owner does sound embarrassed when they confirm their pets names when they call for an appointment.

You'll no doubt get comments about the price of Freddo's going up, but I vote go for it! 😁

UsingChangeofName · 09/08/2023 21:41

Am SO relieved this isn't for a baby Grin

Yes, Freddo goes so nicely with Rolo, but you / dh can call him Fred when you are out if you prefer.

megletthesecond · 09/08/2023 21:45

As long as its chocolate themed it'll work.

Pocketfullofdogtreats · 09/08/2023 21:47

Relieved here too. Yes, Freddo is a great name for a dog! Can we have a picture, please?

PurpleReindeer2 · 09/08/2023 21:49

Rolo🥰 Freddo 😍
