Funniest name for a dog!

    The original plan was to call my dog "security". She's just a small ball of fluff really and not even as tall as a cat so I thought it would be pretty amusing to be shouting "security" in public places and for this little furball to come running.

    Anyone else got any funny names for dogs?

    Also had another dog a few years back, maltese terrier. (I've a penchant for small fluffy animals) We called him Tyson. He soon lived up to his name!! We were later told that his aggressive streak was due to frustration of a sexual nature!!

    colossus is a pretty cool name for a small dog alright.

    Down in the park one day I saw someone chasing after their dog (who'd got off the lead) shouting 'Come here Bono, Bono come back here!!!' Thought that was funny, but then I met an eldery chap with an elderly bichon type thing called Ouzo!!!! Seemingly they'd just been in Greece on hols before they got the dog!
    My dog is called Flynn, its a she, after my Gran's maiden name, but most people think shes a he, after Errol Flynn!

    My grandad used to have a dog called "nigg3r" when I was younger(about 25 years ago)

    Imagine that nowadays.
    Definately not a "PC" name.

    Wasn't it Stephen King who had a dog called Good Boy, so that when kids petted the dog and said "Good boy!" he could say "You're very clever - how did you know his name?"

    Have never owned a dog myself, but got into a chat about dogs with a taxi driver on a journey home recently, and he told me about his Labrador Danny, short for "Daniel Alexander Crimebuster". Didn't live up to his name though apparently :D

    I called my first dog Fido.

    I was four years old at the time and I wasn't trying to be ironic or post-modern at all at all.

    I had Fido for sixteen years.

    a friend of mine (old man) bought a boxer off my other friend (we were working together at the time) and he acutally did call her 'Kitty'....it's weird when u see this boxer runnin the length of the beach and then to hear 'Kitty' come here!!!!!!

    I had a mongrel when I was younger named socks! He was collie mix I think - had a tongue like a wet dish cloth! and the brains of a flea! He was black and white - a slob with white paws.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 224 ✭✭Jotter


    we got a cat from dspca and they called him Bunker. Everyone asks why hes called that so when they rang to check up on him i asked the reason and the girl said she could see him bunkering down for the nite :confused: I thought it was bec he was found in a coal bunker or on a golf course :o In fairness he was due to be pts a good few times but the girl in the cattery loved him so she kept begging for him to have one more chance - noone wanted him, bit of an ugly cat, runny eyes, dirty, smelly but what he lacks in looks he makes up for in personality :D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,819 ✭✭✭✭peasant


    One of our dogs is called "Harvey" ...he had that name already and it suits him.

    We were briefly thinking about calling our latest addition "Norman" ...but seenashow she's a girl she stayed the rather unimaginative "Patch" that she already was.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 940 ✭✭✭Tabitharose


    One of my dogs is called "Elvira Princess of Darkness" but it's Ellie for short :) had two gerbils (rip) called Ger & Bill & 2 of my cats are George & Mildred :rolleyes:

    Have a staffie called Schalk.
    We had only just got him home, and were watching a South African rugby match on TV, to which the puppy took a great interest.
    The man of the match was a player called Schalk Berger, so we decided to name the dog after him!

    Columbo (TV detective) had a dog called "dog", someone asked him why he called it "dog".

    "because he's a dog!"
