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.

Staffy called Eddie

We have Gus (Angus). Love human names for animals. The rescue we used recommended picking one with a strong constantant sound which apparently helps recall.

We have a Sheltie called Oscar.

It was either that, Merlin, or Gandalf.

Ginny - she was already named when we got her. But she's a redhead and I'm a Harry Potter fan so I'm quite happy about this.Smile

If we ever got her a brother, he would have to be Ron, naturally..

Used to have a Hollie and a Pippin. I like Fable, Nutkin, Teasel and Sable now for dogs. Mabel is quite boring to me. Beryl would be a good name if you like OAP names!

Like a PP, my dog is also Bonkers! It's ridiculous really, because he's so calm, patient and well behaved.
Cat is Pamfa.

I love human names on pets. I net a lovely Andy on a dog walk the other day!

I know a bullmastiff called Newton. His owner is not a scientist as I found out. It's because the dog is heavy.

I know of a golden reriever called Andy, I love it!

Goose.

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.

No way! One of mine is also Goose, my DH is a huge Top Gun fan.

I have a dog called Bake. His mate Jose passed away 2 years ago.

For some reason my dad could never remember Jose's name. He shout Chico, Pedro, Raul, Peppe, literally every Spanish name except Jose.

Meatystrips · 18/07/2023 18:34

The best dog name I ever heard was a cross-eyed staffie called Bert. It suited him perfectly.

GwinGwyn · 18/07/2023 18:35

Wholesome thread!

My cats were Bob and Sid, I like human names too. Sadly passed now but planning on getting a dog in the new year and he’ll be called Tedi (well that’s the plan, but he’ll be a semi rescue so might not have that choice.)

QuiteEnoughOfThat · 18/07/2023 18:37

Cosmo and Gus

We had a Tootsie cat too! We called her that as when she was a kitten she was a terror for chewing your feet if they would hang over the edge of the bed, plus she had a weird love for thrusting her face into our unoccupied shoes! I miss that naughty tortie.

Hellohah · 18/07/2023 18:39

My dog is Stanley.

I have 2 cats, they are George and Tabby.
