There's a lot people getting pretty precious when naming their dogs these days. What happened to the good old names, like Rover, Spot or Fido?

Best name was my mate's… Frank. That dog was soooo a 'Frank'.

Do elaborate

we have decided when we get our dogs they are going to be called sherlock and mycroft

We are looking for a dog at the moment and we saw one listed on the SPCA site called Lunch Bag.

I know a whippet called Bobby. He's thin and his owner is from Northern Ireland.

I poured a garage floor years ago and the yuppies across the alley had a pair of little dogs named Lenin and Trotsky, idiots.

Could be worse, Lennon and McCartney ?

surprised there's no mention of the classics "Pat", "Deefer" or "Asker/Askim"

Kaiser?

Well there has been now, though all he wanted was an opinion on how popular Cooper was vs Bracken. Everyone wants to get a dog vicariously through Tangram.

Yeah but everyone chipped in with their own ones anyway...i was surprised it took until my post for those cliché ones to appear!

As long as a name has 2 syllables and doesn't resemble a command and so confuse the dog... you have to try calling it. It gets funny when pedigreed dogs get named for registration in their litters - they sound like racehorses.

Cooper has arrived. He is a little more shy than our last one on his first day but today his confidence is improving.
