Not at all name him whatever you want! I like it

LEMtheoriginal · 01/12/2018 20:03

I dont like it but go for it. Your dog 😀

Shutityoutart · 01/12/2018 20:03

I always wanted 2 called Keith and Steve. I love it!

romany4 · 01/12/2018 20:03

If its in honour of Keith Moon, it's fine

DramaAlpaca · 01/12/2018 20:03

It suits a cat better, but go for it.

SleepySofa · 01/12/2018 20:04

We had a dog called Richard so I think Keith is fine.

JockTamsonsBairns · 01/12/2018 20:06

My old neighbour had a dog called Martin Grin

CarrieBlu · 01/12/2018 20:07

It’s fine, we have a guinea pig called Dave.

I don't think it's a ridiculous name for a dog on the grounds that it's a person's name, but I've heard that dogs respond best to a two-syllable name. If there's any truth in that, it might be better to go with Kenneth or Kevin for the same sort of "feel."

My friend had a ferret called Robert.

I love human names on animals!

silkpyjamasallday · 01/12/2018 20:08

My friend has a dog called Alan. I think Keith is perfect for a pooch

Coldshoulders · 01/12/2018 20:09

Love it I get my pup in 6 weeks and thinking of calling him eric or sumert hah

LucieMorningstar · 01/12/2018 20:11

I’ve already told my husband that when we get a new dog he’s gonna be called Chris so Keith is a yes from me!

UbiquitousDust · 01/12/2018 20:12

I love CATS and dogs with human names! My next door neighbour's cat is called Gary.

bobstersmum · 01/12/2018 20:18

I like it! We have a dog called Eric, and I jokingly call him Derek.

DeadCertain · 01/12/2018 20:18

I like it!

BetsyBigNose · 01/12/2018 20:19

Keith is a fabulous name for a dog. If I had one, I would call him Dave.

reallyanotherone · 01/12/2018 20:21

I agree with the 2 syllable thing, it’s somehow easier to yell from the back door..

I’d go with formal name Keith, Keifer for short Grin

Blanchedupetitpois · 01/12/2018 20:21

I find few things funnier than animals with normal human names, so do it! Add some joy to the world!

NancyDonahue · 01/12/2018 20:22

I used to know someone with two cats called Penelope and Keith Smile

ilovepuppys · 01/12/2018 20:24

My friend has the most beautiful choc lab called Keith. It makes him even more lovely

PipGoesPop · 01/12/2018 20:27

Brilliant name. Do it. Kevin is also good.
