Pheebs Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 (edited) I've only ever had one non-human name and that was Pip (Pipsqueak). The rest have been Gabby, Tess, Lucy, Hugo, Jemima, Maggie & Harry :) Lucy gets "Lucille" and Maggie gets "Marguerite" anyway :rolleyes: Edited February 1, 2012 by Pheebs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
~*Shell*~ Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 I have Zero, Lucius, Rembrandt and Mystery. 2 of those are human names... the other two could be human names too in hollywood. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rosaline Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 I used to know some people with a Ridgeback called Jane. Never, ever Janey. We are still at the "stumped" stage for names. I'm currently saying no to names of disney princesses! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeiLuvR Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 I don't have a problem with human names for Dogs :) But they can be quite funny when saying them out loud. Especially when i'm calling Mitchell and Rebecca, or Martin and Colin to get them in the hydrobath, and saying good boy Colin lol :laugh: I much prefer human type names than the common Bella or Mia. Martin gets me everytime, he is a tea cup sized choc poodle! I've even had a corgi named Steve and i wasn't sure if it was the dogs name or the owner = the dog was STEVE haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Remarkabull Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 Not a fan of it myself, but each to their own. I try to have names that are a little unusual or different and that I haven't heard before. Although in saying that I often hear of a pet called that after I've already decided that's what their name will be. I must admit Acheron is a good one, nobody seems to know how to pronounce it. When we were at the vets recently the nurse and the vet both said "Ack-eron?" I have had people not believe that he would answer/respond to a name like that, but he does :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
betsy Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 Bit OT but when I was a kid we had a pet sheep we christened "Horse" :laugh: I think whatever the owner wants is fine, as long as it isn't offensive :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BettyPup Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 My animal companions have all recently gone through human names. Most recent is my boy Mikey, short for Michael. It was the name I would have used when I did have a boy later in life, but for now, he's totally rocking it. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PuddleDuck Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 My old girl was called Kerry and within a year of getting her one of my bro's was engaged to a Kerry and another was dating a Kerry. Family member didnt like the girls (horrid gold digger type girls with many kids from different fathers.) was prone to calling out 'Kerry!' at family gatherings and when the girls would turn around he'd say 'no, wait, I meant the bitch. No wait, I that's all of you. The one that eats pal' Worked though. Kerry-dog was around till 20years 11 months, the girls were gone in no time. It did put me off giving pets people names though. Thankfully I've not met a human called doofus! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KumaAkita Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 Given the latest trend in people naming, if we can only name our dogs non human names, we'll be very limited! Hmmmm.....anyone named their puppy "Apple" yet? Yep, I'm FB friends with a woman who has the most magnificent Akita called Apple. She's a stunner. Hmmm...wonder if she'll get a second dog and call it Moses. ;) Nup, her second dog is a boy called Max :laugh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I started naming my sheep...but now I have 16 and have given up naming them as I keep forgetting who's who. Years ago my sister had a dog named 'Funny Face'. Maybe we should start a topic ' weird dog/pet names'? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
