Big name, small dog! IMO Brilliant Grin

Our dog when I was little was called Seagull - I chose the name apparently because it sounded like a seagull when it cried.

The mad lab at dog training is called Steve and the owners always seem really embarassed by his name.

I knew an extremely old x-breed called Robert and I know a Stafford called Linda. The cat that Linda lives with is also called Robert. On the other side of the story, my son has a more popular dog's than human name and one of the mum's at school recently asked him if he minded if she named one of her pups after him Grin.
