I'm about to take my dog "Alfie" for his evening constitutional and it got me thinking, we've come a long way since the days of Rover or Fido so - anybody else given their pooch a human name (clean answers only please) :-)
Regards,
Ray.

Our Airedale is called Harley
Swimbo wanted a Harley Davidson
but instead of a Hog she got a Dog :embarrassed:

It seems to me that most dogs nowadays have human names, or they do in our area. Our dogs are Cassie and Nat, (previous ones were Stella and Clare) my son's is Beau, (his previous one was Chloe) my daughter's is Chester and our neighbour's is Jock. I think that Rover and Fido have been consigned to history.

Dachsund.. Esmerelda
Dachsund..Julie
:-)
Then again we have had a horse called Messala (yes from Ben-Hur) not the local dish !!
cats, Pussy Purr, Pussy Pie, Diddles, a Cockatoo called Cocky and of the 5 tortoises the 2 names I can remember Pedeta and pedra pretty sure the other 3 also began with P as did my Mother and my 2 Aunts !!

All Lakeland Terriers
Trim
Ben
Brin
Bruin
Don't know where Trim got his name but Ben was popular in the 1980s and Brin was a mix of Trim and Ben mixed together. Bruin got his name from the German bear because when we had him as a puppy he looked like a little bear!
-
We have a boxer, ours is Bobby seemed to have a ring to it.
-
Our little mutt is called TINKA main reason being she has been Tinkered with................
Roy
-
Our German Shephard is Sasha, and before her, we had a Jason.
When my mum was a kid, in the 1930's/40's, their dogs were always called Rex.
Lance
-
Our Bedlington Terrier is called Basil.
-
Can I add our cats name?
She was the runt of the litter and died but our daughter managed to do the kiss of life when she was born and brought her back to life so she is known as ELLie, eight lives left!
-
We adopted our pup last September to save her from being thrown in a rubbish bin(yes it happens a lot in Spain) she was 5 weeks old and we named her Tilly.
We get another second pup in 2 weeks time, this one has been raised with its mother and will be 9 weeks when we get him, his name is going to be Oska ( I like to be different!)
-
Haven't got a dog, but my African Grey parrot was called Frank...

{:-{
My dog has the same name as my wife.
I do not need to call them, they are always in my legs

I once knew a bloke who had half a bee which he called Eric..................https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MlrsqGal64w (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MlrsqGal64w)
(He also had a haddock which he called Eric. When asked if he didn't find this confusing he replied that only a total idiot would confuse a haddock with a half-bee).
The best dog-name I ever encountered was given to a very old, large and grumpy Bassett Hound whose favourite place for sleeping was in the middle of the road outside our house. If you went to move him he would just open one big, bloodshot eye about halfway; glare balefully at you for about ten seconds, and then close it again. I regularly saw cars mount the pavement to avoid him, rather than trying to persuade him to move. He was called 'The Colonel'.

Something was lost in translation, mon ami. I think perhaps you meant to say "under my feet"? ;)

This is our lab Polly, 10 years old with lumps and bumps all over her, but take her to a forest with areas of water and she's running around like a three year old ;)
-
No mutts but two moggies: Fluffy Pussy who decide that she wanted to live with me after running way from home last year; Lucy and Benji arrived in February along with their human; unfortunately Benji has been missing for the last month and I fear the worst.

I wanted to say:
Between my legs, always behind me, as my shade

We're minding my stepson's Jack Russell cross called Winston; he wasn't meant to be a cross, we paid for 100% JR. Next door's cairn is another Eric.
Our 15 year old French black farm cat is Trouble, the same in both languages. His companions were Biggles and Tiger Moth (mother Spitfire) but they both had crash landings involving cars.

Onni (translates to "Lucky")

the two malamutes pictured in my avatar, the big guy on the left is called Mahigan, which we believe is a native north american tribe in soutern ontario, it means wolf, the other one on the left was already named as a rescue, Tessa.
-
Mahigan; is Eastern Ontario and Eastern New York
-
actually I meant to say it was from the Ojiway native tongue, and yes , south eastern Ontario. I was born in Brantford, with many friends from the Six nations

When I got married my wife came with her cat (also a dishwasher and a piano - but that is another story) named Elsa, after the Lion. When Elsa passed on she was replaced with a rescue cat, promptly named 'Millennium Falcon' (Star Wars) by our young son. This fortunately was easily shortened to Millie. Well Millie went to join Elsa and was replaced by Henry, the Labrador. My wife is a musician and insisted that 'Dog' should have a musical name. I suggested Bach but this was not well received. She promptly picked up her musical dictionary and opened it at a random page - Henry Purcell. So Henry it was.

My future daughter-in-law also has a black labrador called Harry, quite a popular name it seems - Harry & Henry are of course synonymous (as in Prince Harry (Henry)).
