With common surname, thinks Davies/Harries sort of thing?

What does she call her for an Everyday name? Lulu?
Our cat ended up with a very complex name, so why not TalulaBelle MacKenzie!

Sent my mum this thread. Grin

It's a bit Ru Paul Drag Race.

ISpyCobraKai · 16/11/2021 16:59

Oooooh, now I know it's a dog, I take back what I said.
Call them whatever daft names you like.
My cats all have middle names and I use them when they are pissing me off misbehaving.

I love that you have a dog named Dave. I like proper people names for animals. Like Steve.

AngelicaElizaAndPeggy · 16/11/2021 17:13

I read that as taula-belle, sorry 😬. Think because it's so long and has a hyphen to confuse me even more.

Why not just Tallulah and Belle as a middle name? And then you can call her them both together if you like, still?

AngelicaElizaAndPeggy · 16/11/2021 17:16

Oh my days, have just read that it's for a dog!! Fabulous, keep it. It's dreadful but assuming that the dog is a small Pomeranian and not an ex-police Alsatian drug dog, I think she will be a real character who is known and loved throughout the community 🤩

Iamanicepersonreally · 16/11/2021 17:18

I’d find it difficult to take someone called Talula-Belle seriously. I’d imagine an airhead with no substance. Sorry

Iamanicepersonreally · 16/11/2021 17:19

Oh, it’s okay for a dog

SummaLuvin · 16/11/2021 17:20

Hate to break it to you, but strippers are people too.

Tal45 · 16/11/2021 17:21

I love this thread OP. Your mum is hilarious and bonkers.

HipsHipsHooray · 16/11/2021 17:23

Does your Mum totter about on fake Laboutins with a permanent duck face perchance?

SparklingLime · 16/11/2021 17:25

What if the dog wants to become a solicitor?

Exactly!

Talula-Belle is awful. Sorry, but it sounds so desperately like you're shouting 'aren't we a bit whimsical and cool! Please find us exciting!'. The effect is very much the opposite.

WhoppingBigBackside · 16/11/2021 17:54

I have a vision of a dolled up woman on kitten heels calling out her dog's name in the park

Deadringer · 16/11/2021 17:55

Awful.

HipsHipsHooray · 16/11/2021 18:03

Mind you Shane Ritchies kids names are on a par... Confused

Fordian · 16/11/2021 18:23

Dave the Dog.

Love it.

Lulu1919 · 16/11/2021 18:26

@Saylavie

I'm sorry.. I've misled you all. This is what my mum has just called her dog. I told her it's awful and sounds like a stripper and she said that was a ridiculous thing to say. I just wanted to see if anyone else instantly thought stripper.. which multiple did Grin

She got the full name and her own surname embroidered on to everything. It's just awful 😂

Apologies for misleading... as a side note do people usually give dogs surnames? Is that a thing? My dog is called Dave. Just Dave! 😂

The title was Baby Names Dogs don't have surnames

I think Talula is nice for a dog , how often are you actually going to use the whole name . I know a bulldog called Louella , it suits her . My dog has 3 names and a surname , they are rarely used , it’s generally the shortened version of his first name .

Aroundtheworldin80moves · 16/11/2021 18:34

Dont pets often have a surname for the Vets etc?

Its a bit OTT. Its almost longer than the actual dog!

4amstarts · 16/11/2021 18:35

@littlebigtiger

It's very Teen Mom.

This

Terribly judgmental of me I know but I'm just being honest. It's a bit....chavvy and down market - especially the hyphen and the weird throwing of Mackenzie on there?

ErrolTheDragon · 16/11/2021 18:41

The vets and their receptionists are going to love this one.Grin

Is it going to be one of those names where the amount of it which is uttered indicates good dog/bad dog?
Good girl, Talula!Smile
Oh dear, Talula-Belle, you've left muddy paw prints on the floor.
Oh no, Tallula-Belle MacKenzie, is that a puddle on the carpet?Sad
Talula-Belle MacKenzie Davies, no use hiding, my leopard-print heels didn't chew themselves.Angry

gogohm · 16/11/2021 18:42

Remember the he baby will be an adult and Mackenzie is a surname in itself, belle is a shortening
