Stephen King named his dog Good Boy, so when kids petted him and said "Good Boy!" he could say "You're very clever, how did you guess his name?"

In Laurence van der Post's 'A story like the wind' the young protagonist calls his dog 'Hintza' and uses the Bushman language to train him. Unfortunately the Bushman for 'run forward' was 'tza' and when the lad called the dog on one occasion it ran off a cliff.

Must be true coz it is in a book :-)

Some acquaintances named their mini-dachshund "Pinch".

Of course, she was a mini.

I would call her Kay

second name Nine

th GF acquired a dog named Nora (after Knorr soup). So the replacement mutt is Baxter.

I foresee a Campbell some time in the future.

Suggestions for 20 years hence, anyone?

I know a woman who named her dog 'Bingo'. She said that she has always wanted to yell that.

Over the years I've heard references to dogs who happened to be of one solid color and so were dubbed "Spot".

Scroggin named his Bent Woodhound 'whores'. When I asked him why, he called out in a clear projecting yell "ahh whores ahh whores... My Kingdom for a whores"

If I got a dog, I figure I would name it "Dog". Then, if I got a cat, I would name it "Get off the table, FLEABAG!" (I like cats. Had cats. Had dogs. But cats are just different. All 'fun' in their own ways.)

Just name it something you're not embarrassed to shout from the doorway or in public.

My brother in law had a rescued dog and inherited its name :Basil. It never kept to heel and when asked to take it for a walk i hated having to call it- I sounded like Sibyl Fawlty. My grandfather had a black dog called in those less sensitive (or more innocent) days "Nigger". I wouldn't give much for your chances calling THAT in Birmingham these days.

8 months since or Bonzo went to Rainbow Bridge, we adopted a border collie cross(4 legs!!) rescued in Romania called Tiara, so I tend to call her Tiara Para as for Bonzo whom I called Bonzo Ponzo!

If I ever get another beagle, I am gonna name him Stunned. Short for stunnedasmearse. Rolling in cow shit might be good for hunting but it messes up the car.

From a short story idea years ago...

Minds me a Duke. Beagle. We'd go huntin and that dawg would run straight for the cows. He'd roll in fresh cow shit til he was covered with it. Ol' Man Mullvahill would laugh his arse off and Dad would swear his ass off. Dad always had newspapers in the trunk. He'd wrap Duke up, sit him on the floor in back, and say "DON'T MOVE!!!!" We'd get home and Dad would put Duke on his chain. Then he'd put the hose on Duke, step on Duke's chain, slowly walk on the chain while Duke lurched to keep on his perfume, and stop about four feet away from the end of the chain, all the time sayin "DON'T MOVE!!!!"

gnu, I think, just maybe, I may be able to top you on this one:
On a farm in Minnesota, long, long, ago. We happened, sorta by accident, to have two family farm dogs at the time. We are working around the yards one day when the dogs return together from journeying somewhere. They both looked like they were coated with glossy tar. The smell was...the smell was...whatever it was, not much way to describe it. As it turned out, the adjacent neighbor had drug a dead hog out by the line fence, and it had broken down to slime...

The "name your cat" thread
has a good one, I forget who posted it.
They named their cat Hudson
so it would sound as though they were hailing the butler.
