Called Luna because she's black with white spots like the moons (and she's a lunatic). I wanted to call her Cake but the kids weren't having it for some reason. I'll save that name for the next one....

Dudley,Rosie, Winnie and Spike who is no longer with us.

My beautiful boy (staffy) is called Romeo because he is a lover not a fighter.

Future names I have picked out for dogs are Buffy, Dragun, Casanova and Joker...depends on the breed and personality of the dog in question!

I currently have a lovely old Basenji called Jasper and recently lost a smashing little jack russell called Tazzy, my next dog with probably be another little Jack russell girly and she will probably be called dolly! Although when I eventually get her I may change my mind!

My daughter named our dog puppy so no choice in that. My old girl is called Sophie as it is pretty like her. Future names we have is Stitch as the cartoon alien was based on a Boston. I would like Arlo for my imaginary future Spinone and daughter likes Ottilie but shortened to Tilly if we ever got a bitch Boston.

I wanted Mavis or Mildred or if a boy Hortaio but no one agreed with me. Funny that... I will get my way one day....

My dog is called Tucker because his name at Dogs Trust was Tinker, which I couldn't bear, but we wanted something that he would recognise as having a similar sound.

My favourite dog's name, however, is that of my parents' golden doodle, who I named. He is Anderson Cooper Doodle. Slightly distinguished, lots of nicknames (Andy, Doodle Dog, Handsome Anderson) and suits him perfectly.

SnakeyMcBadass · 11/10/2013 20:42

My next dog will be called Toad. I currently have a Jasper(ino) and a Stanley (Bear).

kchapper5 · 11/10/2013 20:46

My dog is called Spencer which was his name at the rescue centre we got him from. However, he answers to so many nicknames its ridiculous mainly Beschy, Spen, SDog, Spencey Wencey. Poor thing :)
My previous dog was Maori as she was a Groendael so all black hence the name :)

Adikia · 12/10/2013 01:56

Mine is called Kai because that's what his previous owner called him but most of the time he'll answer to whatever DD decides to shout at him.

I'm currently trying to convince DH he wants a puppy which I'm calling Muttley, he is a scruffy white mongrel (he's only 2 weeks old so plenty of time to convince DH before Muttley is ready to leave his mum)

Greenkit · 12/10/2013 02:10

We have Scrumpy Jack and Poppy both whippets
Cat called mouse
a rabbit called Bailey
A bird called Bird

MillyMollyMandy78 · 12/10/2013 15:01

pinkbear82 · 12/10/2013 15:14

I have Bob. A greyhound. His racing name was Bushy Bob and the rescue called him Bob and he suits it Smile

ilovexmastime · 12/10/2013 23:14

We have a Harry. When i went to collect him I had a completely different name in mind, but when I saw him he just looked like a Harry.

SucksFake · 12/10/2013 23:23

When we are able to get a dog (not enough space at present) he/she will be called Indiana. Indy for short. Obviously!

My DSs will be delighted!

Casanunda · 12/10/2013 23:41

I have an ESS by the name of Frodo...So called because when he was a puppy, he had enormous hairy feet, like a Hobbit! Big dog is a newfie cross, he's called Winston (named by my DW, I know not why...) but his nickname is Bear, because he's so bloody big and black, looks just like a bear
