Contemporary popular people names tend not to work well for dogs - for instance, James, John, Mark, etc. Dog names work better if they are somewhat archaic and/or rare - e.g., Ferdinand, Otto, Morris, etc.

― Madchen (Madchen), Friday, 28 January 2005 16:17 (twenty years ago) link

Well, it's more of a cat name, I guess, but it could work for a dog, I'd think.

My grandad used to have a black lab called Gary, which seems reasonable. Much as I love Spaced, I hate that it has made me really want to have a dog called Colin.

Someone I know has a jack russell called Mick; it so suits him.

i think that's demeaning to skeletal villains everywhere. they're trying to get along in society like everyone else. It's the efforts of racist vigilante lynch mob leaders popularly known as "Superheroes" that make things so hard for this misunderstood minority.

A woman who lives near me has an Irish terrier called Patrick. Stupid name for a dog. The worst part is that he's a show dog, so you know it's not even his real name.

Caroline would also be a crap name for a dog.

his real name?

Yeah, you know, he's a show dog. They all have names like Freewheel Lately of Trompington Waxmon on Stilts III.

― accentmonkey (accentmonkey), Sunday, 9 July 2006 09:06 (eighteen years ago) link

only if it's a SHOW DOG ON WHEELS

my friend named her pug Megan. Wrong.

cat's name obv.

i once met a (male) dog called doris. his owner just liked having the chance to shout it at the top of his voice in parks. this as good a criterion as any for choosing one's dog's name, i think.

dave wouldn't work. neville, however, would be great.

tim?
