I'd say it's pretty popular.

My dog is Archie and there are thousands of them around 😂 I can't say it bothers me and he really suits his name.

He gets called Archibald if he's naughty 😉

RunningFromInsanity · 31/03/2023 23:27

I know 3 Rolo’s…

XenoBitch · 31/03/2023 23:28

I am in a lot of dog groups on FB, and have only ever seen one Rolo mentioned.

Loki (or Floki for a girl) is super popular.

KateFeather · 31/03/2023 23:28

I know 2 but if you like it then go for it.

Was Den and Angies standard poodle 🐩 not Rolo?

CC4712 · 31/03/2023 23:29

I would have said it was more popular in the 90's as I knew several then. Don't know any currently though. Did you name him after the caramel chocolate or just a name you liked? We need a pic now 🤗

ShiteInNiningArmour · 31/03/2023 23:30

I also know a rolo (brown lab)

Yes it was. Poor dog.

TomatoSandwiches · 31/03/2023 23:31

I don't know any Rolos op, I know plenty of dogs called Max, Lucy, Mable, Buster, ie Human names.
I think Rolo is quite nice tbh.

DaveyJonesLocker · 31/03/2023 23:32

My rat was called Rolo.

Runningoutofusernamestochange · 31/03/2023 23:35

I have a Rolo! I know 2 others.

Sturnip · 31/03/2023 23:36

It’s just about in the top 50 according to this:

I know tons dogs and not one rolo.
I'm up north. Is it a london thing

steff13 · 31/03/2023 23:39

It's a cute name. It's not like he's going to start school and there are going to be five other kids in his class with the same name.

MandyMotherOfBrian · 31/03/2023 23:40

I’ve known 4 and seen more on rescue sites. Particularly popular for chocolate Labradors.

Ihatethenewlook · 31/03/2023 23:40

It’s extremely common by me. I know 3 rolos, all bulldogs. My dc’s wanted to call our dog rolo. And my ds named a toy dog he won last week rolo, after one of his friends dogs.

LittleDonkeyKong · 31/03/2023 23:41

I have only known 1 dog named Rolo. He's crossed rainbow Bridge sadly.

Babyroobs · 31/03/2023 23:52

I know only one.

SullysBabyMama · 01/04/2023 00:01

We have a Rolo and so does a neighbour!
I would say it’s popular.
Remember things are popular because lots of people like them, it’s not a bad thing.

stressedout20 · 01/04/2023 00:02

I have a Rolo!
He's a chocolate cocker with caramel highlights on his ears hence the name 😆
It's not that popular where I am, I know of one other Rolo and he is a miniature dachshund. We always get compliments at the park on his name and people say it suits him 😊

caringcarer · 01/04/2023 00:10

My first dog, a lovely Cairne Terrier was called Rolo. My dd named him.

AnotherRoadsideAttraction · 01/04/2023 00:13

Super popular name where we live - just on our road there are 2 dachshunds named Rolo and also one of those silly cocker spaniel-poodle mutts named Rolo, too. There are also 2 Archies and 2 Rosies.

Popular name for a brown dog
