Most Unusual Dog Names?

[GinaB]

We had an unusual horse names post earlier in the week, so thought we should do a dog one

Mine aren't too unusual but I know a black lab called Chisel (he's a handsome big beast) and years again I knew a little rought coated JRT called Spanner

(Not owned by the same tool box minded freak

)

My farriers lurcher is called Lurch

As you probably know, my lurchers and greyhounds were Jura, Macallan, Talisker, Port Ellen and Islay after whisky (then Flick spoiled it

)

My mum has called hers all kinds of exotic names, but Orlando was probably my favourite or Raoul

My husband's friend (who was not keen on dogs) said he thought one of mine was called Basket.... because everytime he visited I sent her to bed (ie, said Basket) as he didn't like being jumped on!

My friend's greyhound, who lost most of his guts when he had a disagreement with a barbed wire fence is called Rizla, as he's thin as a fag paper due to his non existant digestive system.
My other friend has a dog with no legs called Cigarette... every night she takes him for a "drag"... sorry, that's a bad taste joke

I had a dalmatian we used to call Spotty - we used to joke that she was deaf, so it didn't matter what you called her! Her real name was Delinquent Delilah as she was a naughty pup!

 

[mrgoop]

Well the real names are ok i guess, but the nick names might be a little dodgy

LILY - Jack Russell also known as: BOB, Billy bob dog, William, Elizabeth, Lilian small and many others

DARBI - Lakeland x Sausage (bought from derby market hense the name but didnt want to make him sound like a pikey so gave him a posh spelling

) also known as: Scooby doo, Doo, Booby,

My mum says that my dogs have so many names that they don't know who they are

My last dog RIP mate xx
My beautiful lurcher rescue, was called Randle, also known as: Twinkey twinkey, twinx, Binky or Binx, Bib bib, Bibby dog, there were reasons for thes of course but quite silly when i think about it

So maybe i should just stick to Darbi, Lily and Randle....... Oh and BF's Staffie don't get me started on her names

Most of our dogs when I was growing up had fairly conventional names. We did have a Flatcoat called Kerrow after shooting lodge in Scotland and current Lab is called Gallie. She was a rescue, originally called Galaxy - yes, she is chocolate. We thought that was just too naff for words so shortened it - I much prefer two syllables for animal names anyway and she responded to it immediately.

 

[wench]

my dog is called merlin, dont know if its unusal or not, got called after the foxhound in the Belstone Fox (my dog is a lurcher)

However, I do know of someone that has a staffie thats called brian...

 

[kirstyhen]

My Parent's dogs have pretty unusual names

Dubh (means Black), Pye (short for Pyro), Ruraich (means Seeker), Taghan (means Pine Martin) and Jek (intials of my Parent's and I's first names).

Otto's is fairly normal, but our next dog is going to be called Quimby and we want two cats called Lenny and Karl

Points for anyone who can spot the theme
