Our dogs have had some trad names, we have had Max, lab x springer, Tommy rescue BC already named, and so on but have any of you got any strange ways you decided on your dogs name We had Patrick, black and white BC that my eldest son named after his new black and white football boots, so he could have been reebok or nike lol how did you choose your dogs name ?
When Molly's litter was born I had originally been waiting for a liver/white bitch that I was planning to call Ruby but when I went to see them there was just something about her that none of her litter sisters had. There were 4 livers and 3 blacks and we chose each other. I was then left without a name as OH insisted that we couldn't call her Ruby. My kids squabbled for ages and eventually settled on Molly. Charlie just looked like a cheeky Charlie but it does cause some confusion as she is a she not a he My last lab had the most enormous paws as a pup and my dad said he has feet like a navvy so he ended up being called Paddy;-) We also had a BC called Kelly when I was growing up named by my mother after a TV prog apparantly.
I love the Paddy one lol, and Charlie you are not alone, my sister has a lab (bitch) called Jeffrey, after Jerffrey Archer for same strange reason.
Jack is rescue and came with his name, apparantly named after his previous owners favourite tipple, Jack Daniels, so he sometimes gets called J D as well
Archie, my boyf picked it, he wanted to call our first born son Archie (when we have kids) i asid 'erm...no!' so i let him have it for the dog!! who i actually just call Roggie Doggie or Smelly most of the time!
Well Moon has a very pale blue, almost white eye, plus I loved the song bad Moon Rising, so thats his kennel name and Moon for short, Yumyum was yummilicious as a baby and it stuck lol
We named Fudge after her mum. We adopted Fudge from a rescue and her mum was still there. She had raised a litter of 11 pups on the streets of Manchester in December. We reckoned such a super mum needed remembering.
Our big Newfie Nelson is a water dog, so I named him after Admiral Lord Nelson. The rotties, as they are from Roman times are named after the two emperors, Nero and Caesar, Smeags is short for Schmeagol, the character from lord of the rings, And Mea was already named by Shona.
Skye was named after the Isle of Skye where we go a lot. We were considering calling him Storm, which would have suited his personality better I think.
Barton was named becaus simply we couldnt decided on a name and we we were standing in front of a statue of edmund Barton when one of my daughters just saw it and sugested Barton
