His little face does look a bt like a Womble so you have a few choices there -

TheHatOfHappiness · 18/07/2026 21:06

Could be a Percy.

Could also be a Julian, Baxter, Alastair, Kevin, Gareth.

He looks like he has a serious dude's name.

It’s so lovely to see another poodle. They are fantastic dogs. 🩷

He looks like a Percy to me. Or Perky, as my autocarrot suggested.

ShakaWhenTheWallsFell · 18/07/2026 21:10

Percy, and when he's misbehaving call him Percival

Justdontwanttodothisnomore · 18/07/2026 21:11

I don't know why but the minute I saw him, I thought Francis. He looks so cuddly and also a bit posh. You're so lucky.

Springtimeinsunshine · 18/07/2026 21:13

I agree he looks like Rod Stewart. Rodney?

(I can't vote for Percy due to it's rude connotations, sorry OP).

Thank you all once again. I’m now kind of liking Rodney. Rod for short

Aww no , he'll be called "You Plonker" ! (Only Fools and Horses)

I love Ralph , one of my favourite names and one of the characters in Lord of the Flies .

I’m actually laughing at Trevor. Come her Trev. That’s a great name

OneLimePombear · 18/07/2026 21:48

He’s so Percy.

Oldieandgoldie · 18/07/2026 21:48

Duncan aka Dunx😄.

Different, but not too way out.

BrendaSmall · 18/07/2026 21:48

I’d go with Percy, simply because where I live every other dog is called Ozzy

Oh no not Ralph, he's a twunt. (daughters dad's name). I can think of at least 5 poo breeds called teddy in my small town. I wanted to call our dog Bert or Frank, dd got other dc and dh voting fucking boring milo.

This! ‘Rodders!’ when you need to call him. Like Only Fools and Horses. It almost makes me ea t to get a pet, just so I can call
it Rodney

CarrieMoonbeams · 18/07/2026 22:04

I think he looks like a Merlin, aka Merlin the Magnificent.
