[Closed] Dog names

Step 20: Sprocket, Cog, Kona, Brodie, Digger, Spoke,

Skip to step 20 (2:37):

EDIT: beaten to it by creamegg 🙁

Like to call animals after other animals.
That fine specimen looks like a "Badger" to me.

Yeah - thanks to "that" video - my first choice of Sprocket is now out of the running (what can I say I'm a Fraggle Rock kind of girl)

[b]Wrecker[/b] - I did have a tortoise called Hedgehog, so I see where you're going with that

Dutch footballers are always a good source of names -

Denis (Bergkamp)
Jordi (Cruyff)
Dirk (Kuyt)
Ruud (Gullit or van Nistelrooy)
Clarence (Seedorf)
Wesley (Sneijder)
Frank (de Boer)
Edwin (van der Saar)

are all good dog names. He looks like a Jordi to me...

N'boogie? So you can shout "get down n'boogie" everytime it jumps up at someone.

Dave or Pete.
my cat is called Sprocket

How used to his current name is he (does he answer to it etc), as it may be confusing/difficult for him to get used to a new name?

How about Bomber?

I did have a tortoise called Hedgehog, so I see where you're going with that

NBoogie. Then, when he jumps up on the sofa, you can yell, "Get down, NBoogie!"

Or, failing that call him Myface.

Then, when in the park and he's lagging behind, you can shout out, for all to hear, "Come on...."

There was a bloke lived near me who called his dog 'Taxi'.

He said there was nothing more embarrassing than standing at the top of the Downs' shouting "TAXI" at the top of his voice and people looking at him thinking 'He's never going to get a cab stood there".

Vulcan.

or at the camper end - Button.

I had a black cat called Zero - as in zero colour.

Friends of mine here have a dog called Taco and we used to have a rabbit called Pringle, so food items are a good sauce (geddit) of names...

He looks like a Hamish to me

MY dog was coincidentally already called Hope when we got her.
Mountain bikey, but in a subtle way. Also a pointer (not like that mongrel in the op's pic 😉 )
(Other MTB brands are available)

Trive - Trail alive

a climbing buddy called his dog Slack. I'm not sure if he was more amused at the site of confused belayers when he called the dog or confused dog surrounded by people shouting his name.

@www I used to have a dog called Whisky...If she had been naughty it was like a stumbling across an open air scene from Father Ted.

If I get another it will be called Biscuit. But I also like the idea of proper names:
Dave
Frank
Gordon
Geraldine

Near me in Bridge of Allan the mountain rescue were called out when someone heard a shout of "Fell"... Yep you guessed it.

George..

(just ignore the bunny rabbit thing)

Our pointers sire was called Bruin which we liked. We ended up calling him Bruar which was close enough 😀

z1ppy, that was part of the reason for us naming the dog George:

Some really good suggestions guys (not entirely about "My Face") and n'boogie made me smile.

I do like Hope, apparently my suggestion of Santa Cruz is no good either...

I had a pair of Bantums named Scotch and Sambuca

Our Daugther wants to call him Lola... Yes well... 🙄

Oh and thankfully pup doesn't seem to be too attached to his current name, so changing it shouldn't be an issue

Our Springer is Reginald, the previous one was Stanley ... real old mens names ....

So funky bike type names
Thomson
Gusset
Renthal
Cotic
Peaty
Press Fit Bottom Bracket
Faceplant
Giro
Nobby Nick
Fat Albert
Rocket Ron

I have one called Sam, and the other called Megatron 🙂

What ever you call it, bear in mind at somepoint you *will* be wandering around a field yelling it. When its wildly out of control and should be on a lead 😉

Clunker

Wheelburn

Pootle

Narlie

Shifter

HelMut

I'm calling my next dog Benton.

[i]Gusset[/i]

[i]
When its wildly out of control[/i]

[Mrs Slocombe voice]

Oooh yes, once my Gusset gets a bit of freedom on the beach it's almost impossible to control, look it's soaking wet now!

[/Mrs Slocombe voice]

our next dog will be called 'crumble'

current pointer X is called 'cookie' and thats mighty manly to be shouting when he's out with the other gun dogs haha.

might call a dog 'dan' at some point just so i can stand around shouting 'dan, dan.... dan...... DAN!'

Kenda
Maxxis
Goodridge
Paul
Ragley
Renthal
Reynold
Ridley
Ritchey
Spank
Syncros
Swobo
Thomson
or..
Nukeproof

How about McRoy as an homage to one of the bestest early downhillers ?

Animals have always got to be named after other animals in our house too..

Our last dog was called Ducky, the one before that was Piggy **** face, and our next will be called Monkey

our OCD/slightly mental chihuahua is called Nicompooch, (shortened to Ninny normally), but always fun when people ask what her name is 🙂

he looks like he could be quite a cheeky little one so you need something appropriate...

Geoff.

Superstar?

Shinpad - looks like he's wearing some
Or
Socks

JEngledow it was exactly the reason why my g/f called our (no longer with us) dog George

Chipps (or Chip) 🙂

Am liking the idea of Bomber or Chipps (from the number of times he's saved me from myself on threads) or maybe Picolax? Or does that out me as a very sad STW'er?

Tracky

Rumdy

650b?

29'er

We have two Westies.

Eric, and Esme.

Eric.

Esme.

If I had two dogs I'd call them ToMe and ToYou.

Strange looking dog?

What about Miley?

Chipps, Reba, Pike, Rad, Rampage, Bonty, Hub, Fizik, Dalby, Gizzy (Gisburn), Afan, Santa Cruz's Little Helper

MAXLE - There's a dog's name if ever I heard one - The OH can still call him Max

My parents' dog is named Jeremy. He's a beagle.

Any Cove frame would be ideal
Maybe Sanchez is best for shouting across the park at half-term

As a kid our dog was called Dugg as in Scottish for Dug! The extra "g" was an affectation.

Maybe Sanchez is best for shouting across the park at half-term

Chip

lumins

i know of someone with a jack russel called Ian.

When I'm out walking my dogs I sometimes see a womanout walking her dog, Woof (named by her toddler) she has to stand in the park shouting 'Woof Woof' when its off doing its thing! Always makes me smile when its pissing down.

Saw a bit on TV this morning about pet cloning. You can clone your pooch for a mere £63000.
The woman being interviewed had replaced her pooches with clones as each expired.

They were named Trouble, Double Trouble, Triple Trouble.

Lopes

My pair - Yorkie and Whippet are called Woody and Hector.

What about Houston, sounds like Auston so he wont get confused.
Then you can say "Houston we have a problem".Something I have
said many times whilst repairing or indeed riding the bike.

Beowulf

Is syndrome going too far?

I wanted to call our dog "d-fer" but the kids vetoed it. She got Milly instead.

+1 for Shinpad suggested earlier. Stonking name fer a dawg.

Surprised nobody's gone for Fenton...

Tbh, when they're being disobedient, dogs seem to ignore whatever you say, so you can call them whatever you want. 'Pinhead' is what I generally end up with when ours won't respond

[img] [/img]

Stanley.

Call him Muff.

Then you can go to the park and shout "ere Muff"

IGMC

Merlin.

Peaty?

Is syndrome going too far?

Yup. 😕

Slacker, come on Slacker.........I may have been called this a few times, good for a trail hound though

Colin

Dutch footballers are always a good source of names -
...
Ruud (Gullit or van Nistelrooy)

That's asking for trouble. People(*) would refer to you as "Ruud dog and the dweebs."

(* - well, I would)

I reckon if I had a dog, I'd call it Jesus.

Then when the Jehova's Witnesses come knocking, asking "have you found Jesus?" I can say "yes, he's asleep under the sideboard."

The juxtaposition of those last two images is a little unfortunate.

Riff Raff?

Fern
Tag
Sky
Spike
Fay
My Collie's names single syllable easy for dog to learn harder humans to alter i.e. Samuel - Sammy - Sam - Peeps - poor dog has no idea what it's name is

I'm liking the bike parts theme, will probably give that a go next time

I recently heard a man calling a dog named "Steven". This is (for reasons I cannot understand) one of the funniest things I have ever experienced. Weeks later, recalling it still fires up the ROFLcopter.

So my vote is for "Steven".

Only one choice for those prone to cussing;

<

Oi!

If your posh, the double barrelled version...

or "Oi! Come Here"

However, I've noticed most dogs I encounter are called Oi.

Only one choice for those prone to cussing;

pure gold 😆

I used to have a GSD called Onza.

Why not just give your pooch a traditional dog's name? You wouldn't name your children this way, would you?
