Tintin Jac Posted November 13, 2012 Share Posted November 13, 2012 Possibly unwise but we let our kids name our pets. We have a Tintin from the books. Until he movie was released in the last year or so hardly anyone got it. Our daughter named our new Cocker. He is Hector, also from a book. Appropriately he is named after Happy Hector in the Tilly and friends series. My fave from this thread has to be Gladys. Gorgeous :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Labradork Posted November 13, 2012 Share Posted November 13, 2012 I know someone with a mixed breed mutt called Matthew Arnold. Matthew Arnold was a 19th century British poet :laugh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RiverStar-Aura Posted November 13, 2012 Share Posted November 13, 2012 If you have an Odin, you could always use Vasir (Va-seer). I've always loved the name Wart and Archemedes from Disney's Sword in the Stone. Also Kronk from Emperor's New Groove. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nawnim Posted November 13, 2012 Share Posted November 13, 2012 My first dog was called Boy. So obvious it's different in these days of high falutin' names. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ons Posted November 13, 2012 Share Posted November 13, 2012 I have FlashBazil He was a foster dog, went to Tamworth Airport to pick him not knowing what to call him, there was Basil STreet at the airport so thought that was a good name, but after a few days decided Flash suited him better. My friend, who is not a good speller, started calling him FlashBazil so it stuck - as he did Mr Foster Failure. then my Latte had puppies and I named them with a tea theme. I named one Tannin then added Bazil to his name because of his uncle FlashBazil. So he became TanninBazil. I kept him and he is most commonly known as TannyBaz :laugh: Onslow got named after the Keeping UP Appearances character, and i had a Daisy, a little maltese RIP at the time. Mocha was named Mocha to tie in with Latte. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeltaCharlie Posted November 13, 2012 Share Posted November 13, 2012 OK I blame it on tiredness... but if you call him Mister you then have Mister Whippy :laugh: Ok, crawling back under my rock now I have a Mr Whippy :) Called him that as a pup, made myself laugh, and it has stuck ever since LOL I used to know a male GSD called "Sit". It is amazing how many people ask a dog to sit when it is nearby- they don't usually expect to be showered in love and kisses though :laugh: From memory they used "down" as their command for sit :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Labradork Posted November 13, 2012 Share Posted November 13, 2012 My Grandparents had a black Labrador called "Nigger" It was okay apparently because it was the 50's. Nigger used to walk to the butcher every day and get herself a bone. Then she'd walk to the police station and meet my Grandpa at the end of his shift (he was a sargeant). Then they'd walk to the pier where Nigger would do a running jump into the sea :laugh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Remarkabull Posted November 13, 2012 Share Posted November 13, 2012 I'm not fond of people names for animals either. My Dobe is called Acheron (pronounced Ash er on). He is a character in a book, a very dark, dangerous, sexy character! In the book series Acheron has a pet demon called Simi, which is the name we gave our Bulldog :) I have just purchased a Quarter Horse filly who I really wanted to call Stevie (Nicks) to go with my TB gelding, Axl (Rose) but my husband really doesn't like it so we have decided on Jinx.

SkySoaringMagpie Posted November 13, 2012 Share Posted November 13, 2012 For a whippet and a non-human name I would choose something reflecting speed and/or agility - they are common with Saluki names. Things like: Turbo Speed Race Sprint Swift Pronto Pacer Rush Lancer etc etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Things like: Turbo Speed Race Sprint Swift Pronto Pacer Rush Lancer etc etc In the Aussie spirit of calling a red-head 'Blue', I have a hankering to call a future greyhound, Turtle. I suspect even Mr'Let'sCallHerSparkles'LC will object to it though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
