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?

    the dog in 'The Van' was called 'larrygogan' which always made me wonder did 2fms veteran Deejay have a dog called 'roddydoyle'

    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.

    My wife is a dog groomer so I hear all these ridiculous names. One person with a poodle calls her Foomfi.

    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?"

    I like Derek or John although I think uncle Roy is great!!! if i owned a dobie or rottie id call him Tiny or Fluffy!

    Our guy is called Leroy, we picked it bec we were sick of thinking of names so I opened a name book (for babies not dogs!) and it was the first one I saw. People think its strange but it works so thats all I care about!!
