Today whist out for a walk...a dog owner was yelling for her dog in the park. At speed a Jack Russell called....Shackleton...comes flying out of some bushes.

Big name, small dog! IMO Brilliant Grin

I had a JRT who I had to sadly rehome but still have the female They are VeraWang & JimmyChew. My cats are called Adolf and Polly (polpot). Adolf because she has a 'tash and polpot because the whole litter was named after dictators. We had Chairman meow, Mogabee, Genghis Cat, and George Bush.

Our neighbour had a large St Bernard called "Gerald". She used to take great delight in shouting "Don't shit in the front garden, Gerald" as people walked past.

Dd's friend's grandparents had two dogs we thought were called Bonmo and Fopa- odd we thought, but hey ho. Then we looked aftr them for a weekend, and discovered from the note they left us that they were called Bon Mot (can't do the accent!) and Faux Pas.

Ridgeback named Norman always makes me smile.

Our female rabbit was called Barry!!!

Lafaminute · 07/03/2013 13:18

A westie called Calpurnia. (big name + small dog= big ego was the thinking). I think her new family renamed her Patch or Lady or something less ambitious!

SconeRhymesWithGone · 07/03/2013 13:38

There is a police dog in Scotland called Rebus. (Maybe more than one.)

I know a Pembroke Welsh Corgi called Henry Tudor. He is variously called Henry, Harry, or H.T.

UnexpectedItemInShaggingArea · 07/03/2013 13:49

Kladdkaka I have a Geoffrey too - mine's a mongrol though.

We got him from the rescue centre and I rang my Mum to say 'we've got a new dog called Geoffrey with a "G".'

Mum (not a dog lover) says - 'why would I want to know how he spells his name, it's not like I'm ever going to write to him.' - which made me laugh.

My sister had two cats called Astrophe and Mandu (i.e. Cat-astrophe and Katmandu).

FreshLeticia · 08/03/2013 08:59

ah, we have hens called Janet, Cath and Violet.

seeker · 08/03/2013 10:45

We also know a Dave the Dog.

Sad that nobody laughed at Phydough- I smile every time I think of him. Lovely dog too- Heinz 57 but with a strong streak of lab.

smallthindog · 08/03/2013 11:55

We have a whippet called Charlie Slipstream.

I'd out myself if I named our two dogs- seriously!
