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!?

If you can't give a pet a slightly silly name, when can you show your frivolous side?

Absolutely fine for a dog and he looks very cute.

Yes, it's a great name! I also like Toblerone nicknamed Toby. Don't think it's silly at all, in fact I wish more people would call their pets non-human names because I hated trying to decide on baby names and being told certain names (Luna, Lola etc) sounded like dogs names 🙈

You can never tell on mn

Freddo is a great name for a dog. You won't be judged at the vets. They hear all sorts of names and Freddo isn't odd at all.

AllSoComplicated · 09/08/2023 22:13

I like Freddo!

I met a guy on online dating once. I was impressed because he called his cat Ronnie Pickering 😆

uncomfortablydumb53 · 09/08/2023 22:15

Yes It's cute

uncomfortablydumb53 · 09/08/2023 22:17

Aww He's gorgeous
He's definitely a Freddo

ithinkhesawus · 09/08/2023 22:18

I legit thought this was going to be for a baby!

TakenRoot · 09/08/2023 22:19

Freddo is a great name!

He can be Semi-Freddo while he is still a puppy

FiguringLifeOutOneFuckUpAtATime · 09/08/2023 22:19

Perfect name for a dog! Now if I can just convince my son of this... he told me earlier today that he wants to change his name to Freddo on his next birthday (he's 6) 😂

Penguin34 · 09/08/2023 22:25

My dog is called booboo, never felt judged at the vets!

Cascais · 09/08/2023 22:26

Love it

We were in the vets once and they called out “J.K Growling”. The whole waiting room laughed. Vets will hear all sorts and Freddo feels normal to me. So I say go for it, as long as you are comfortable saying it. It’s important at least at first to be consistent so you don’t want to be using a mixture or Freddo and Fred for example. He’s a very cute pup.

TodaysFishIsTroutALaCreme · 10/08/2023 12:19

I've got a kitten called Velcro (thanks teenage DD). Freedom is way more normal than that.

And yes, we do get laughed at at the vets

Lovegood · 10/08/2023 12:43

That dog was born to be a Freddo! Lucky you. And yes just nickname him Fred!

@Awwlookatmybabyspider Grin

He also caused amusement at the vets apparently 😆

xogossipgirlxo · 10/08/2023 16:57

He looks like Freddo!

I thought you were asking for a baby 😆😆
