In my lifetime, have had, Shadow, Shimmer, Shackle, Bramble, and Micah. Mums current dog is Moss (we call her ours too!)
Some of the whippets we had were, Sticker, Wispa, Chortle, Chorus, Chaos, Cracker, Waverly, and Wonder.
 
Some lovely dogs!

Our patterdale (don't go there) is called Ollie, but this is often adapted to Wallie (no prizes for guessing why)...but we love hime to bits.
We used to have a golden labrador called Simba...the number of times people would look at us and say "but thats a cat name" is..well I'd be a multi-millionaire.

My riding instructor was gifted a golden lab in the summer she's called "Yummy", becuase she was given to her by "The Yummy Mummies"
 
Savlon.savi for daily use.savi helpfully means sun in sanskrit and ties in with her colour And she is a very savvy wee dog who survived a few weeks as a stray.
To savy some days!
Yes the dog is named after a disinfectant...and she is the only dog of that name on our office computor :p .

I wanted a non human name,that could be safely yelled across the park and preferably one id never met another dog with the same name.not an easy list of demands when I work as a vet!

I like odd names.previous dogs were benji and jessie...and not my choices!
 
My bedlington is called Flodden, and my rescue whippet is Nonny, so called cos I got her as an emergency foster in the middle of the night and she was anonymous or 'a nonny mouse' as a little scared snippet of a whippet. And Nonny stuck.
 
I have Abbey, black flatcoat. Teasel, liver flatcoat. Sadie, rescue of unknown breeding, she came with her name. Flicka, as in My Friend.....,whippet/greyhound.
Other flatcoats I have had were Spring and Mischief (known as Chiffy!).
My first whippet was Sula and her daughter was Whisper.
I had a rescue greyhound called Willow and two lurchers called Rocket and Rascal.
 
Flatcoats: Lily and Tiva
Have also had flatcoats Inca and Maya and CKCS Portia, Nerissa,Juno and Libby (Libby was a rehome who came with her name)
Simply all Flatcoats have an American Indian theme and CKCS Shakespearean theme.
 
As you surely all know by now :p I've had Jura, Macallan, Talisker and Port Ellen in the past.... currently have Islay (the last of the whisky theme) and Flick, Amy and Hoover (couldn't be bothered to change their names when I got them from the rescue :) )

I must admit I have never heard of another dog called Hoover :p It was his racing name... this is him, isn't he brilliant? :) :)

Current boy is Monty - we rehomed him and that was the name he came with.

Our old boy who we've now lost was Max. He was named after Maxwell House coffee - after we decided we were having him my older sister ended up in hospital. We were pondering over names and I jokingly suggested it as my dad was drinking it and it stuck. Horrible coffee but a wonderful dog who gave us 13 years of love :)
 


My Rots are Sage and Dexter. Sage is at the front in the photo, although it is an old one. Dexter is all grown up now! They are brother and sister from different litters.
