good names for a dog!!

jimvrs · 07-10-2006, 09:35

Well after two years me and the mrs have finally decided to get a dog

The new addition to our family will be an irish (red) setter dog on october the 20th

my problem now is naming him, the wife fancied giving him an irish name but the ones that spring to mind all seem a bit stereotypical

So dog lovers of briskoda what do you call your four legged friends?..............

Jack Russell dog.......................SAM..

If you had 2 dogs Mo....You could call them " Knit one...Pearl one ".................

Manguish · 07-10-2006, 10:18

Dogs respond best to words ending in Y - hence mine is BOBBY.

Food for thought

In that vein, there was an owner who delighted in calling his two dogs in at night, named Whisky and Soda...

We get our new Cairn Terrier puppy in 2 weeks.

She is going to be called 'Haggis'

postmanpat · 07-10-2006, 11:26

was going to suggest Whiskey, name of our first dog, or what about Tetley keeping in a drinks theme

cheezemonkhai · 07-10-2006, 12:01

basket?

Smifffy 3 f's · 07-10-2006, 12:10

The mad dog in my avatar is called Jay and our old dog was called Sami.

You could call him Roy after Roy Keane. He's Irish and played for 2 teams that play in red (Nottingham Forest & Man U)

Mr Grumpy · 07-10-2006, 12:19

We have Colin the cat, and had Henry hamster, My fluffy car dog is called Doug.

pittVRS · 07-10-2006, 13:15

We had a Bearded Collie a few years back, he kept escaping, so we called him Harry after the great Houdini.

we had a red setter called "Rusty"

Loz · 07-10-2006, 13:22

My dog is called....erm......Dino.......

Yeah I didn't call her that ok??? She was from the RSPC when she was 10 months old!!! she's ace!

Mil · 07-10-2006, 13:39

My sister named ours Poochy, which I think is somewhat cute.

If I coulda name her though, it woulda been Spike.

Loz....my brother's name is Constantinos....in short form we call him Dino. Ha.

Loz, for some reason, I always thought you kept penguins. Dunno why.

Ha-ha !!!!!!!!!!! Best of luck mate, my Mum and Dad had one of them called "Rocky" - right bloody little pain in the **** !!!!

jimvrs · 07-10-2006, 18:02

Thanks for the input so far chaps!

jec · 07-10-2006, 18:05

We had a chocolate labrador called Teddy, 'cos he looked like a teddybear

pixi · 07-10-2006, 19:48

How about calling him 'Red'? Original I know, but I like it

Our German shepherd dog was called Troy, ridiculous as a pup but he grew into it! If and when we get another dog it will have a human name such as Dave

Snoopie · 07-10-2006, 19:55

I've a dog called...... ' Snoopie '

heresmo · 07-10-2006, 21:15

Thinking about it, dogs do respond (as Manguish said earlier) to two-syllable names. Even in the Woodentops, Spot was know as Spotty Dog

Glad to hear you're getting there jimvrs

Of course "Oi!" works for most pets and kids. Never found that to work with fish though for some reason...
