We heard on the radio today about a somebody who’s named their dogs after rock stars. We’ve been at it too. We had Lzzy and Slash in aquarium and now we have dogs called Myles (Kennedy) and Ronnie (James Dio). How do you name your pets?
I knew someone who called them all Dave. Kept things simple, I suppose.
Those criteria are less useful for all his fish. Questionable whether it’s work on a rabbit too.
I know a couple that use the phonetic alphabet.
The only way to go is an original name that reflects the personality of the dog (if it’s a rescue) or what you imagine it might become (if it’s a puppy). A dog’s name is really important; take some time to think of something original!
I’ve mostly just kept their names from rescue. I adjusted the spelling of Louis to Louie, because to me Louis is pronounced either Lewis or like the mum from Malcolm in the Middle.
Chalky kept his name because he’s 12 so good luck teaching him anything else.
We renamed our girl to Freya because we were having a viking phase. She was Dolly before so would have changed it no matter what.
