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 remember quite a funny comment on the Trashfuture podcast a while ago, about a reversal in naming convention.
Someone observed that the sort of person who drives a big posh Range Rover would give thier daughter a name like Binkie and the dog would be called Sarah.
Many years ago we had two dogs (one male, one female) called Mulder and Scully.
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.
I really like animals with pedestrian human names.
Like a cat named Dave.
