I’m curious to hear what you named your dog, or cat (or any other pet you want to include).

and what do you think of human names for pets? I really like them, especially older people names like Mable or Frank.

My neighbour dog is called Dave and it makes me smile every time I hear him chatting to his dog. "Good BOY Dave, what a good lad", so cute.

Dottie - very freckly springer.
Badger - Dottie’s black and white son, born with a wide white strip down his otherwise black face (now just a sliver so his name makes no sense any more).
Tash - calico cat with a black ‘tache.
Ava - black tortie cat who looks like a very ripe avocado.

I've got my eye on another puppy who may be called stan if he makes his way to us.

Would you like to know my mothers maiden name and the street that I grew up on as well?

We had a Bonkers (RIP,🐶 ❤️) Lovely boy, but he was a little bit bonkers.

Oddest human name for a dog I ever heard, aeons ago, was Richard, for a neighbour’s Dalmatian. Also had a brother of that name, so it could get a bit confusing!

Our dog is Nacho and we have cats Frankie and Myla

Surely no one is using their dogs name as a password these days 🤣

I acquired a cat imaginatively named “Kitty” by her 3-year old previous owner, and although I didn’t like the name, a) she knew it, it’s a very distinctive sound and b) as a horsey gal I know how unlucky it is to change a horse’s name, so assumed the same was true for cats and didn’t change it.

CurlewKate · 18/07/2023 17:35

My DD's dog is called Benjamin. And our friend's is Dave!

They usually give guide dogs human names. Once came across someone called David. His guide dog was Dave!
