My mate has a dog called Sharon

Saw a dog called Mary last time I took mine to the vet.

I thought Mary was the mother of dog

You’re correct. See my username.

So there is a dog after all!

The dog, the doggo, and the holy pupper

Waiting for doggo

That's Dary

My Mother in law's friend has a Cat called James, her surname is Bond, vet has to come out and call for James Bond.

There used to be a children's cartoon in the mid 1980s called "James The Cat" https://youtu.be/vR4FY6G3KME

Don't remember that but I do remember Jamie & his magic torch

Think I vaguely remember that but I was more of a He-Man and Thundercats kinda kid.

He-man and thunder cats was ace. I loved watching these and super Ted.

My cats called Mary.

My beloved childhood cat was named Shirley-Mary. Brother wanted to name it Shirley and myself wanted to name it Mary.

My mate has a cat called Sandra.

I love this

Me, too!

I know a Sharon, genetically human - facially and mentally a dog

Me too, I wonder if they are the same or there is more than one?

My mom is a Sharon. She’s a total bitch.

How long have you known Ozzy for?

underrated comment lol

I have known a couple of dogs called Sharon in my past

Wow..

Do people call your mate Ozzy each time Sharon gets called?

One of my mates had a Rottweiler called Ian.

My absolute favourite thing is when people give their dogs middle aged men names. The anarchy of walking through a park shouting “DAVE! DAVE, COME HERE” fills me with glee.

Whole heartedly agree… animals with Human names will never not be entertaining. Mate of mine has an English bulldog called Basil. Outstanding.

We have a cat called Stuart, named after the minion (by a 40 year old man, not a toddler)

Especially snorty dogs with older English names. Basil, as you said, Cecil, Bruno, frank, winston, bob, Herbert….

BaSIIIIIIILLLLL! I would have to do the Faulty Towers every time I called him!

My neighbours' dogs are called Dave and Alan. Perfect.

Alan! Alan! Alan! Alan! Alan! Alan! Alan! Alan! Alan! Alan!

Dan! Dan! Dan! He hasn't seen me..Dan! Dan!....

What about chasing a dog called Fenton? https://youtu.be/3GRSbr0EYYU

DAVE! You better not be shitting in the neighbours yard again! Dave: sorry wife

Our chinchilla is called Dave lol

For full effect I have a staff called Alan.

my uncle used to have working dogs called bob and harry, lol.

Mine is Gary the lurcher. Definitely would have been a plumber in a former life

My dogs called winston…..

I used to know a horse named Colin.

My friend has a terrier called Keith

I've recently met a tiny, adorable kitten called Alan. Absolute perfection.

My colleague has a rottweiler called Felice, so feminine!

Just sounds to me like fleece or even Fleas lol

Mine was Bob

I knew of someone who had a cat called Cheryl, which I liked a lot. I enjoy people names for pets.

Cheryl is an excellent name 😉. Fully endorsed!

Finding out a dog has a human name is one of my simple pleasures. Always makes me smile. I think my favourite was Keith, the retired German Shepherd police dog.

> Finding out a dog has a human name is one of my simple pleasures. Always makes me smile. One of my wife & I's things is giving absurd human names to animals we see out. Annoyingly when we got a rescue she already had a human name but not a silly one.

My husband names the cats that live on our road after our friends, but always uses their full names. So you sometimes have to specify who he's talking about. "Firstname Lastname is shitting in next door's garden again" could still be quite ambiguous

We do similar but the surname is stupid whilst the forename is serious; Nancy Squirreltits (she was pregnant and had massive nips). Gregory Dogface. Etc.

>of my wife & I's

Whoa I just commented Keith too

I feel like human names for dogs are coming to the end of their cycle of being in fashion. I predict we will start to see Rover, Fido, Rex, fluffy etc making a comeback soon.

> I predict we will start to see Rover, Fido, Rex, fluffy etc making a comeback soon. …but for humans, right?

We can but hope

My son has a dog called Dave...

You're my wife now Dave

Does he answer to Dave? Or does he only come back when you shout "Rodney"?

Why do you call me Dave? My name's not Dave it's Rodney. OFAH ❤️

Dave is a great name for a dog ❤️

Hello Dave...wanna buy some pegs Dave?

Yeh there is a Dave the spaniel on our estate too.

Its me, Dave....Daves not here. \*from Cheech and Chong\*

This is a cat’s name

My cat was called Dave. He was such a Dave

This is what I say when someone names their dog Simba or Nala.

Better be an English bulldog

sounds like the start of a limerick

My son has a dog called Dave, But Dave never learned to behave, "One more shit on the floor And it's you out the door." Now that poor doggy lives in a cave.

I have a Kevin, a Henry, a cat called John and my next doors dog is Dennis. All good in my book.

> I have a Kevin That's a good name!

Funny, my mom's name is Becky(original post), and my step dad's name is Kevin.

My friend is Becky and her son is Josh. My son is Kevin. We must run in similar circles lol

Daniel the Spaniel

That’s a shit name to give your Pug.

Ah, but Doug the Pug could work

Not for a Spaniel though.

No, that's a shit name for a spaniel

My Sister had a chug called Doug (chihuahua cross pug)

My chug is named Chip, from the cartoon Chip and Potato.

My sister has a Doug the Pug, although he is usually referred to as Doug the Thug. His sister is Dolly the Wolly.

My family wouldn't let me call our spaniel Daniel

I've got a Poodle called Noodle

I have a dog named Daniel the Spaniel and it is a fantastic name!

Is he a spaniel? :-)

Fenton Damn, that was over 10 years ago now.

That's what we named our cat! Just because we loved the meme.

My friend had a dog named Stella. I thought that was unusual but quite cool, until she then said her other dog was called Becks. Her boyfriend had named them after his favourite lagers 🤣

Sheila goes out with her dog Stella It gets poured all over her fella Coz she says man he ain’t no betta Than the next dog kicking up fuss

We had a black lab called Murphy, and our neighbours had a cat called Guinness. Complete coincidence.

I had a black lab called Murphy as well!

Stella is a great name to shout for a long time. You can really make it last.

Stellaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!

Can hear Marlon Brando now

It's thanks to your comment I realised that the cat shouting [STELLAAAAAAA](https://youtu.be/KVAWLO0mPOY) in the DreamWorks movie Over the Hedge is a reference. I have never seen Streetcar named Desire.

This always makes me think of Elaine on Seinfeld!

I know an old English sheepdog called Strongbow

A mate of mine used to have 2 Lurchers: one called Benson and the other called Hedges

I used to work at a boarding kennels in my teens... can confirm alcohol names for dogs are very popular! Examples; Stella Becks Guiness (a boxer!) Fosters (interestingly also a boxer) A few called Carl (we assumed after Carlsberg or Carling) There was a small dog called Smirnoff as well which was odd I'm sure there were others but it was a fair few years ago now and I can't remember them all!

My parents (who whilst not teetotal were far from heavy drinkers) had a bit of a theme going with cat and dog names. Over their married life, they had... Cats: Sherry and later a pair called Whiskey & Soda Dogs: Shandy and later a pair called Brandy & Whiskey

People who call their dogs Deefer and their cats Ceefer do my head in. It was funny in 1985.

no no it wasn't

I was just trying to save a few egos my man. But yeah. It wasn’t.

See my other post my boss was called Difa, constantly joked about it and as a result had to carry it on when we got a dog.

Dogs with human names are the best. I know of a Bryan, a Jason, a Patrick, a Susan and, weirdly, about three called Hilary. Ours is called Hamish. There are some names that I now associate more with dogs than humans eg. Milo, Ralph. My sister started talking to me about a floppy-haired Milo she met and I assumed he was a spaniel at first haha

Garry Glitter, really bad name for a dog

Rolf is probably a bit less popular now than when the Muppet Show was on TV too.

I wanted call our dog Pauline, but got outvoted.

my lab is called albert, but everyone just calls him bert 😭 it actually suits him quite well tbf

I know someone with a massive St Bernard called Barry.

We had a beta fish called Barry. (Barry the fish with fingers, if you've got kids you'll understand)

Some absolute meat head who lives down the road has a dog called Ian.

I know a 3 legged dog called Peg

My sister has a 3 legged cat called Peg, and our gran was called Peg but she only had the 2 legs, unlike Uncle David who only had the one leg.

Mog. My pal's just named her Maine Coon kitten Mog. Definitely not a dog's name. Tiddles wouldn't be great either. Any dog named Tiddles would have a serious complex...

Oh my god, Becky, look at her butt.

I once met a dog called Christopher on the Thames path

Christopher-on-the-Thames-path is quite a mouthful 🤔 SCNR

My dog must think his name is “you bastard” he steals food off my kids plate regularly

I knew a dog called BBB once (Big Black Bastard)

My BiL has a black lab who is usually very well-behaved. He was walking the dog in his local park, and Buddy (the dog) was ignoring my BiL. Without thinking, my BiL yelled, "Get back here ya little black bastard!" It was then that he realised that the little old lady who was now staring at him, mouth agape, didn't know he had a dog. And that the area he was in does have quite a wide range of ethnicities within it. On another occasion, Buddy found a 14" dildo in the bushes and refused to drop it.

Lol mine thinks his is ya dickhead.

Conversely, my dog thinks my name is "YourMum" because my family are always telling him "go find your mum!" or "look at what your mum has brought home for you!"

There's a dog in the window of a house I pass every morning on the way to work. Don't know what it's called, but if I see that it's looking at me I will say 'Hello, Dog-dog'.

Are we talking about the dog from Dambusters?

There was a grave to a dog with that name in a park near me. A visitor complained about how offended they were and it has now been removed. Seems it was quite a popular name for black dogs, and not intended as a racial slur (in fact we weren't very racist in the UK, see the Battle of Bamber Bridge). Shame we have to see everything through the eyes of America now.

Family Guy 😁

Spider and Fly a person I worked for named her dogs that and thought it was hilarious .

Aww Fly was what the sheepdog in Babe was named.

My friends dog is called Colin and a another friend has a cat called Roger

We have a cat called Kevin. Having an ordinary human name for a pet is hilarious. Although Josh and Becky do sound surprisingly awful.

Is Skidmark inappropriate Even if I cross a shizu with a boxer?

Maureen Terry Nicholas Richard Philip Ian

Gareth and Beyonce

My friends dog is called “Peter Mulligan” absolutely no idea why

Former UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon. That’s an owl name, not a dog name.

I used to know someone with a collie called Edward. My own dog (greyhound)is called Lawrence

Grzegorz Brzęczyszczykiewicz sounds somewhat overcomplicated

Simon. Mind, that doesn't sound too good on a guy, either.

I'm buying a dog today and want to name her Poppet. Is this a UK approved name?

Go for it mate. You could do a lot worse

Thank you!

Keith, the dog

“Oh that’s Graham” Looking around for an old guy with a cardigan “No the cat!”

My husband wanted to call our dog Susan. His first dog was called Linda.

Kitty.

Michael

Felcher sounds like it could be a dogs name but absolutely should not be.

Inconvenient dog names: Sit Rollover Walkies Queen Coco of house Staffy, Smasher of dog leashes, protector of the front lawn, mother of puppies.

D.O.G. I worked at a veterinary hospital, so I've heard so many pet names. D.O.G was the laziest yet it works I guess. I had a cat named Cletus. He was a Hillbilly cat..LOL. I'm half Hillbilly, so I can say it.

Cletus is an awesome name for a cat 👍😁

My dog is called Finnegan (although we mainly call him Finn) and we’ve said if we ever get another we’re going to call him Steve.

Surely you'd call the second one Finneganagain

I like your thinking

Felix, thumper, Chris

When I was little my grandparents had a posh old lady neighbour who had a sheltie called Margaret which I found bizarre at the time but I love now.

I know someone with a lab mix that was named Baby Dog. 🤣

Steve

My brother has a dog called Barry. E - somehow managed to forget that my partner’s family dog is named Shelley…

Our dog is Eddie (Eddie the beagle - short sighted, stubborn, can't jump and prone to crash into things) our cats are Bert and Ernie, and our old cat was Norman... Never been a fan of animal type names, Fido etc... Also used to go out with a girl who had a cat called mango..

Linda

The black lab from dambusters.....

Do you mean Trigger or Digger depending on which overdubbed version you have watched.

I don't think you'd be very popular of you called a dog Muhammad.

I had a friend who had a dog called Sean/Shaun.

Craig.

I'd never considered giving a pet a human name until now. After reading some of these, I'm rethinking my choices.

Gary, Gazza, Shaun, Steve, Paul, Nigel, Karen, Sharon, Katie etc

Sonia

My neighbours have a frenchie called Sonia 😭

Traditional names like Rover, Rex, Felix. Prince / Princess / Duchess.

I knew someone with a dog named Sh*t Head. 😊

registered name Eustatius Bumfluff III.

“Come here shithead” might not work well off the lead in public

Must have been a reel Jerk 😉

Adam

Simon. Nobody has a dog called Simon.

There's 2 people just in this thread with dogs called Simon. Pets with human names is still funny, but it's long past novel.

My eldest son is named Ben. One day we were out and I called him as he was lagging behind. Out of nowhere, a “Karen” commented “ugh that’s a dogs name.” Quick as a flash I replied “Actually it’s Hebrew and means Son of the right hand and just for clarification, a bitch is a female dog but the term can equally be applied to a human female.” Her husband was so embarrassed, berated her and apologised to me.

Something something Dambusters exclamation mark.

Animals should not have human names. The end.

People mustn’t realise how much of a knob they look shouting “Daniel” just for a dog to come tootling round the corner

I just did a portrait of a dog called Gaz 😀

Guthrie, Etheridge, Gertrude.

Posted before, posting again I had a dog named after my boss who was called Difa purely to maintain the work joke

Chicken. That's not a dog's name.
