Dog name - that either isn’t a person name, or is a very unusual person name?

Picking up our dog soon and can’t think of a name!

I prefer dog names that either aren’t people names - or are very unlikely people names.

So far I like:
Digby
Peanut
Pippi
Rocco

But not feel quite perfect.

Anyone want to give me some suggestions?

My kids like all names from kids’ movies they’ve seen or books they’ve read! So any unusual names that come from kids’ books (hence Pippi) or just any suggestions really! Would be so helpful!

I know a yellow lab called Custard. A chocolate lab called Droste after a favourite dutch ( I think?) chocolate brand

A black lab called Sweep.
GSD's called Fizz, Moet & Bolly

Other dogs I know that aren't "human" names....

Bramble, Pip, Fluffy, Buck, Munchkin, Tulip, Peanut, Hobbit. Gryff(indor)

I probably know more but I can't think of them!

I like Greek Gods' names- Odin, Apollo, Zeus. If it's your first dog, Odin is also the word for one in Russian!
