Excellent name for a dog. Always said that when i get a dog i'll name it Craig

weegiemum · 01/12/2018 22:35

Our dog is Tiberius - Tibby for short, but he answers to both!

AnnaNimmity · 01/12/2018 22:36

My new puppy is named Dave.

I want to get another one and call it Julie. Or Geoff.

Go for it!

MrsTommyBanks · 01/12/2018 22:38

What sort of dog? We need a pic to judge fairly.

Our springer is called Hamish. I always post on these threads about the staffie who lives near us called Janet Grin

IndigoSpritz · 01/12/2018 22:43

Vittys. I used to know a dog called Craig. It looked like a big misshapen lump of rusty steel wool. I think it was a Norfolk Terrier.

I always wanted to call a dog Funky, so that when it jumped on the sofa I could say “get down funky!”

MrsTommyBanks · 01/12/2018 22:46

Omg. I really want to call my next dog Janet now Grin

We were going to name our next cat Colin but we fell in love with two girl cats at the rescue place.

MaudesMum · 01/12/2018 22:49

I had a cat called Raymond once. It was the name he came with, because the rescue place named them alphabetically, and I was worried that he wouldn't be able to cope with a different name. I was an inexperienced cat owner then and didn't realise that cats give zero fxcks about what they're called.

Notthecarwashagain · 01/12/2018 22:51

Keith is a great name! NU at all!

tor8181 I proper lolled at "Yoohoo Stevey Philly!" That's brilliant!

delboysskinandblister · 01/12/2018 22:51

only if you're called Mick Wink

bluetit101 · 01/12/2018 22:51

Haha I love it! I know someone with a cat called Ian and it cracks me up every time she says his name!

AsleepAllDay · 01/12/2018 22:57

No it's cute

KeepCalm · 01/12/2018 23:06

I need a name for a new female pup (hopefully)

This thread is ace Grin

I knew a chap once with a dog called 'Hoover'. He was a total doll bless him

Oorwulliesbucket · 01/12/2018 23:12

Actually think it's bit try hard to be cool now, basic human names on pets.

HurtsLikeABitch · 01/12/2018 23:28

I love screaming ‘Basil’ in my best Fawlty Towers voice

TheLastNigel · 01/12/2018 23:33

I wanted to call mine David but I was overruled. I like Keith for a dog. My childhood dog was called Stuart-it suited him down to the ground.

Borderterrierpuppy · 01/12/2018 23:42

Do it, I met a dog called Barbara recently :)))))

Cuzcothellama · 02/12/2018 00:02

Do it. My dog is called Steve. He's epic.

FlyMaybe · 02/12/2018 00:02

Keith is a great name for a dog.

Get a second one and call it Mick Smile

seventhgonickname · 02/12/2018 00:16

My cat is called Norman.
I did have a cat called Roger,just,childishly to enjoy them calling Roger the Cat at the vets and listening to other pet owners trying not to choke on their laughter In the waiting room.

UbiquitousDust · 02/12/2018 00:53

I really want a dog called Hamish now.

ilovepuppys · 02/12/2018 01:00
