A few names which have really stuck in my mind...

A family I know are really gifted at giving animals names which really suit. They had Cromwell the German Shepherd, Gulliver the Irish Wolfhound, Moses the spaniel, just to name a few over the years. Presently it's Daphne the choc lab. There again, they also had a cat called Nobby Malone ?

My first dog all of my own was called Bailey, bless him.

Some great ones there - thanks guys, keep them coming.

WT - Deefa is one of my favourites but H isn't keen ?

I'm also thinking about Gerald Durrell, who according to his memoirs had two dogs when he was a boy called Widdle and Puke ?

I have a Cocker Spaniel called Pickle (kennel name Lynwater Marsh Thistle).

Other dogs I know of : Seamus, Lucy, Tilly, Clover and bizarrely, Cat.

Dogs I have known and loved:

Raki

Megan

Vandal

Skipper

Lady

Dilly

Pippin

Buddy

Pickle

Harry

Surely Pat has to be the greatest dog name ever ?

My mum has Dylan the dog, which is shortened to Dill dog but you do have to be careful as I have been known to Shout *** in the back garden for the dog.

I also know a

Shadow

Parsley

Sky

Basil

Storm

I also met two puppies the other day who were called Ebony and pearl.

I have a Barney and a Fern (neither chosen by me, would loved to have called a labrador Yates) - Fern I quite like, there are a lot of Barneys around. Over the years I've also known

Asda, Remus, Venus, Verdi, Hanley, Rennie, Umber, Jade (these were some of the ten puppies my mum puppywalked for Guide Dogs whilst I lived at home - again, all the names unchosen by us).

Also Mimi, Jed, Molly, BBD (big brown dog), Basil, Cooper, Rambo, Jess, Giles, Gilly, Sunny, Pluto.

I love the idea of dogs with human names - love Colin for a dog (but I married a human Colin so that would be tricky!).

Do you know what puppy type you'll get?

Actually (can you tell I'm warming to the theme of this thread?) I quite like the idea of naming dogs with the least animal-type names possible. Chris, Martin, Malcolm, perhaps ?

Thanks everyone, this is great inspiration.

Flailing - I did suggest 'Dave' it my H ?

We have milo because he looks like the dog from the mask, have had in the past kasha and misty.

Next doors dog was called Anna which was interesting when calling either of us on the back street as I'm Hannah ?

I've also known gertie, jack (the jack russell), ricky, patch, zack, holly. Dave's a good name for a dog!

Rah! ?

And just think, you can call him 'David' when he's been naughty ?

My parents have a springer spaniel called Maggie. I loof her.

We have two cavvies, millie and alfie, in the family we have a poppy, judy, benson, frankie and murphy. also known, bessy boots, lola, flake, snoop,maisie.

Our first dog (a lab) was called Tag after the fox in the film The Belstone Fox. Love that name. Their current choices are Rosie and Jemma (on the lines of Rosie and Jim - the kids prog).

If I had a dog I'd love to call it Byron (but I'd only have bitches so that's never going to work!!!)

We had a golden retriver/lab when I was growing called Goldie, a couple of months after the Blue Peter dog (same breed as ours) was named the same!! I always liked the name Benji for a dog but have some strange feeling that it was because I'd seen a film with a dog named this as a child. Good luck with choosing the name, hopefully 1 day I can persuade my partner to let us get 1!

My dog is Phoebe, my parent's dogs are Lexi and Maddie.

Growing up we had:

Tia, Lizzie, Molly, Suki, Sadie

We had a springer spaniel called Tammy, or Tam for short. She was the best dog in the world ❤️ . I loved having a dog as a kid, but couldn't imagine having one now that I have two kids of my own!! They take so much work - walking, feeding and cleaning up after ! Maybe one day.

We have a lurcher called Tupac (my daughter is a rap fan!). He is gorgeous. My husband is so embarrassed by the name he has trained the dog to come to a whistle so he doesn't have to call him ? I love the name!

Currently have 2 boxers called Broadie & Sherry (both rescue dogs so were already named when they came to us).

MIL has a Freddy

Other dogs we've known: -

Cass, Storm, Tyson, Pitence, Samson, Henry, Meg, Candy, Tipper, Cowan, Shadow, Max, Saab, Becks, Ben, Rosie, Toby, Will, Kookie, Alfie, Sweetie, Pip, Sally, Molly, Archie, Shoo-Shoo and Tina.

My maltese is called molly and my king charles is henry! we had a dog when i was younger called snowy

Family dogs have been Hunny, Fergus (Gussy), Ben, Nina, Nancy and Carter. 2 labs, 1 golden retriever, 1 greyhound, 1 scottie / westy cross and a Hein57. The Dreaded's have had Tish, Kim and Scampers, all Heinz57s.

If we ever got a dog (and given that he won't let me have chickens, I doubt it would ever happen) we would call it Steve.

We had a Tara and then a Charlie. We had been told Charlie was going to be a female, in which case we'd picked Brandy. Quite why we felt it had to be for a girl, who knows.

My H's family had a Frosty.

My best friend has a Marley.

My sister's IL have Max, Shane and Skye.

My gran had tons of dogs - can't remember all the names but some were Nicky, Rex, Kim and Timmy.

My friend has a Piko and a Coco

I know a Tux (black and white - looks like he is wearing a tux), a Scout, a Penny, an Ethel. Think thats about it.

We have a Dave and Honey.

I heard of an Alastian called Gary once, which I think is fab! ?

Just seen this - and we do! Also call him Dafydd sometimes, as we're welsh.

Our dogs are called Elvis and Numpty. The family have dogs called Nelson, Foxi and Molly.
