To ask you your dog’s name? Jff

[thecatinthetwat]

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.

Mist, Maggie and Jake

He’s passed away now, but my daughter named her hamster Trevor

Ozzy! He was originally a Toby but as we rehomed him before 8 months we changed it as felt it suited him better. He’s now 1.5 and knows his name

No pets here but we did hear a guy on a walk in the Lake District call out for ‘Gary’. Obviously we thought he had lost someone but turns out Gary was a Jack Russell 😁

We have previously had a dog called Esso and a Guinea pig called Oscar.

The trouble with human names for dogs,E.g. Dave, Steve, is they're supposed to be so hilarious but are very much repeated

I met a Spaniel called Mr Kipling. His owner said he was an "exceeding good dog".

I have a female Brodie which means muddy puddle and is very apt and a Foley whippet . Our last dog was Roodog and our cats were Merlin, Grymli , Mindy , Mishka and Grayl . All have nicknames though. We are incapable of not giving everything a nickname.

I know a beagle called Craig, a st Bernard called Rodney, a setter called Gemma....

The Craig one just makes me laugh every time I hear him being called.

Maltipoo called Harvey. Also known as Titch, Pooch, Fluffball and Fatso.

I used to have a Dog called Debbie, we also had a Charlie and one called Linx.

My current dogs are called Tassel*, Pippa and Lottie.

• kind of just happened, he was called Taz by previous owner but it didn't suit him. Lord Tassel is a far better fit!

Travis. He's a springer spaniel

We have a Scottish terrier called Arthur. There was a Barry down the road too

I know someone who has a cat called Clive.

Douglas / Dougie / Dougster / Dougs / D-Bag.

Love him to death, the clever yet silly sausage.

Oh, he’s a GWP

Tia but she was already named when she came to us a 20 weeks.

My cat is called Haribo. I love Tangfastics but that was a bit of a mouthful. He really is a sweet cat.

I don't have a dog but I met a very good boy today called Terry!

I don't have a dog.

About 15 years ago I met Nancy the dog, whose owner was Terry Jones (author and member of Monty Python).

A few weeks ago on my daily walk I met Doug the dog, who ran around me and was very pleased. Thankfully Doug the dog did not try to dig a hole nearby.

I don’t have a dog (or a cat) but if I did I would have a highland terrier called Douglas. I would always call him Douglas - never a shortened form.

I love your username, I burst out laughing when I read it, my favourite Father Ted episode 🤣🤣🤣

Fergus
Rico
Dylan
George

and Mabel in the great cattery in the sky

Denzil - it suits him.

Mimi Moomin

I don’t often dress her, but my friend bought this for her birthday!

We have Sammy the labrador. Aka whammy, sambo, samsam, samsonite
And also Polly the cat (obv) whose only nickname is ‘fatso’
