To name my pet dog Keith?

[ilovepuppys]

Have been told it's ridiculous ?!

We had until last Tuesday, a parrot called Abraham. He just died after 18yrs

I have a friend with a dog called Gene. I like animals with people names.

You have to use a name that your happy to shout ‘dog, stop licking your balls’ or similar while he’s out in the back garden. Wouldn’t want anyone thinking you were talking to your husband 😂😂

That is a fabulous canine name!! My imaginary future dog (my husband is allergic) is called Peter. Apparently after 30 hours of labour and various drugs, I proclaimed "but I wanted a dog!" Go with it, you and Keith will have many happy times ahead

Mine is called Lenny, Leonard when naughty. I think the next will be Fido, or Pasha!

My neighbours' dogs are called Chaz and Dave. It's quite amusing to hear her yelling "Dave!" to a very cute Lhasa Apso.

I had a cat called Eddie, go for it

I know a bulldog called Keith, suits him. Go for it

I prefer Gary but Keith is more than acceptable.

When DS was little he was convinced a neighbourhood dog was called Frank

Brilliant name, I had a dog called geoff, it reall suited him.
@LetMeThinkAboutThat I’m so sorry for your loss

Someone told me the thing about it being easier to train a dog with a two syllable name - a week after I’d brought my boy Frank home! He’s not the sharpest & he picked up his name within days. Definitely go with Keith

I walk loads of other peoples dogs with my dog walking business. We have a Kevin and an Alan, although the ultimate winner of daft name is a toss-up between Sober The Greyhound and Potato The Visla.

To be serious, two syllables is much easier to shout than one or three. Was this in Donald Sutherland's mind when his son ended up being Keifer rather than Keith?

A name must pass the 'shout out of the door late at night' test. Not sure Keith passes it.

I love people names on animals. My cats are Lottie and Jasper. Jasper is a girl. We also have Giant African Land Snails named Bob and Henry. I'm always trying to get the kids to name their teddies Keith or Dave. Succeeded with DS1, who named his Furby Dave.

Keith is an awesome dog name but the poster who said next door named their cat Gary is the winner for me. I wanted to call snail 2 that (after SpongeBob) but I was outvoted.

If I was a dog called Keith, I would bite my owner and defecate in the flower beds at every opportunity.

We have a cat called Keith... well it’s officially Mrs Keith because he turned out to be a she and da2 had wanted a kitten called Keith since he was 2 and didn’t want to change it.
Everyone laughed and said it was ridiculous now nobody can imagine her being anything else.

This is very outing, but when I was a child our dog was called Keith. I have spent my entire adult life being laughed at, whenever I mention him.

YABU - male dogs should be called Trevor.

Our male guinea-pig is called Bert (but he only listens to the dinner plate rattling so single syllable doesn;t phase him)

My friend had a cat called John!

why not

a old lady in my street has 2 cats called steve and phil

you can here her ib the back yard hitting a tin with a fork and shouting yoooooh stevey philly foodies

always make us giggle as the cats come running mewing back at her

The dog in Spaced was called Colin. I like human names for animals.

I like human names on animals , my Dog is called April , i wanted Peggy but was vetoed i have known of a hamster called Stephen and a Pug called Dave , maybe get two dogs and call them Keirh and Kevin?

Oh and my neighbour had a Cat called Barry .
