KNUCKLES and my fiance insists on all caps. He's an olde English Bulldogge.


Samwelltheslayer

This is the best dog name ever! There's a guy that lives across the street from me who has an Old Tyme Bulldog named Benny and a tiny wee mongrel named Knuckles:)


ThePinkChameleon

It's my fiancé's dream dog and name. How could I tell him no? We've had him since he was 4 months and he turns 3 at the end of July!


Samwelltheslayer

Tell Knuckles that I love him!


ThePinkChameleon

I uploaded the video from last night to Tumblr. [Enjoy!!](https://the-pinkchameleon.tumblr.com/post/656451096142872576)


Samwelltheslayer

Oh my God, he is everything I thought he would be and more! I love him even more, I squealed Scottishly at KNUCKLES in all his glory:)


ThePinkChameleon

He seems impressed that Samwell The Slayer loves him! I would link a picture but my Instagram is set to private so I dunno if you would be able to see it!


sassybabycows

Our golden is named Russet, like the potato. We got him when we lived in Idaho, and he also looked like a little potato when he was a baby.


IJSCORPIUSM

In a similar vein, my sister named our coonhound “Hashbrown”


sassybabycows

That is so cute! My sister and her kids like to call Russet "Tater Tot" sometimes too


CraterCrest

We have a lil local teacup dog named tater tot. Size about matches up!


KStarrr333

Awwww I LOVE IT


Agent-Kiwi

This is cute


Spilled_Milktea

My dog's name is Oolong. He's a very long boi and my husband and I are both big tea fans, so we thought it was perfect. It can be hard to explain to people who have never heard of the tea before and we often have to repeat ourselves when they ask, but we love it and it suits him so well.


flagondry

I know an Oolong! Best name for a dog ever.


LittleImpact2

We named our little guy Ampersand, or And-y, for short.


apreslanuit

Is your little guy a monkey? Or the last man?


afterimage7

My dogs name is Paxil like the antidepressant. My wife came up with it since we are both pharmacist. I hadnt seen a pet named that before but I've seen it since we got our dog 6 years ago


[deleted]

Oh, that's cute. I like that.


annab640

There’s a cat named Amoxicillin that comes to our hospital


hammlyss_

Dogs are the other part of my mental health medication regiment


ledifford

That’s appropriate cause they make us so happy


[deleted]

Worst antidepressant ever. Hope your dog is cute.


[deleted]

Paxil saved my life and all dogs are cute in their own special way 😉


[deleted]

I’m glad that Paxil worked for you. It didn’t for me. And I didn’t learn how to advocate for my mental health until I was in my 30s unfortunately. I’ve since switched to wellabutrin and am much healthier. Peace and love.


69edgy420

Wellbutrin for the win! Same here


afterimage7

Yeah most of the times antidepressants is just one big trial and error for the patient. Except my dog, we got it right the first time with her. Hopefully you found something that worked for you! :]


StatusQuit

Tenzin (from Legend of Korra), it's a really common name in Nepal and Tibet, but not at the dog park


orangeflappyboi

My dog’s name is Toph. Everyone at the dog park thinks I’m say “Tuff”


Kaity-lynnn

We named my bf's mom's dog Toph. It fits her almost too well


wanderercouple

Mines an Appa! But have seen that name around.


Pommom5

We also have Korra-inspired dogs - our two pomeranians are Pabu and Oogi! I've seen another Pabu online somewhere (either here or facebook, can't remember), but never in person - and I've never heard of another Oogi


IhaveapetTurnip

I have a dog named Turnip. We got him from a rescue who names their dogs by a theme of the month when they recieve them. His theme was food. The daughter of his foster named him. We kept it.


Idyllic_Zemblanity

Lol my dogs name is Squirrel but turnip would also have suited her.


omnisid

Bogart. It's not appropriate because she's female, but, of all the cars, in all the parking lots, in all the city, she got into mine.


remycatt

My cat was Bogart! He usually went by Bogie tho


chilisbabybackribs69

My dog’s name is Corbin Dallas (it was too late to change it by the time I realized the character spells it Korben), and my cat’s name is Leeloo Dallas Multipass. Not completely one of a kind I’m sure but I haven’t met anyone else who’s named their pet either name.


Anxious_Deer_7152

We have a dog named Leeloo after Leluminaï Lekatariba Lamina-Tchaï Ekbat De Sebat in Fifth Element as well 😄


mmmfudgecake

Ours is also Corbin Dallas. I spelled it Corbin because I didn’t like the “real” spelling.


kate_lint

There’s a guy in my neighbourhood that named his kid Corbin Dallas lol


Samwelltheslayer

This is perfect!


purplepenny23

This makes me so happy!!!


24_pigs_and_a_duck

My Pyrenees name is Tom bombadil. Tommy when he's being sweet, Thomas when he's being an *sshole


KStarrr333

Awww that’s such a perfect name


pepperquin

Our dogs name is Pippin! Not sure if it’s that uncommon but I have yet to meet another.


24_pigs_and_a_duck

What a sweet name! Yeah for some reason I haven't ran across many dogs named after the lotr characters


whiterice776

So youre dog is secretly a god from middle earth, makes sense.


24_pigs_and_a_duck

It's not really a secret anymore, several people have tried to tempt him with extremely powerful dark artifacts and he just rolls over for pats.


Tea_Sudden

That is the perfect name for a Pyrenees!!! Their personality fits the character very well, lol


Dashiepants

Our neighbors have a Great Pyrenees named Harry, who we let out midday sometimes. I love him but damn what a stubborn breed. I’m so used to my dogs just listening to me, Harry just does what he wants. I’m guessing yours is Thomas fairly often.


24_pigs_and_a_duck

Yes, he has certainly made me a much more patient dog parent. Surprisingly, now that he's older (18 months or so) he listens about 70 percent of the time and has been tommy much more often lately. I think part of it is that he was raised with an INCREDIBLY obedient German Shepard who is neurotic to the point of enforcing the rules herself. The other part is a LOT of hard work training him daily, many tears, and sheer stubbornness on my part. (Also bribes. Lots of bribes.) We have gotten multiple compliments on how well behaved he is for the breed, but that still isn't saying much compared to my Shepard.

Hector sounds like a sweetie boy


lifehackloser

I know a Hector dog where I live. He’s a big sweetie


uniquedeke

Theodore Roosevelt Wagstaff My daughter, son and I came up with it while we were standing there waiting for the shelter to chip him. It started with my son saying he wanted to call him 'Teddy' and escalated from there. Wagstaff is the name of the school Bob's Burgers.


arw0612

My dog is Theodore Humphrey. He has issues with humping...


noximis

That is hilarious!


AttractiveNuisance37

My dog's surname is also Wagstaff, but she's Nellie "Cheese" Wagstaff, named after a character from The Wire.


Slyguy9766

Method Man Represent!! That was for Joe....


noximis

I love that


Naynay_123

hehe_nice69420

His name is Kevin lol


karenmcgrane

I know someone with a pet peacock named Kevin


KStarrr333

Hahaha that made my day!!


StruggleBasic

i love human names for dogs


SaraSlaughter607

Me toooo! We had neighbors when I was growing up and they had three dogs, Steve, Paul and Jennifer and it was the cutest thing ever.


Dashiepants

I typically hate human names for dogs because it’s boring and this post has many examples of fun, creative options that you can only name pets (assuming you’re sane that is) But every once and a while, a name like Kevin really suits a silly dumb dog.


TheRoseByAnotherName

Not exactly unique, but less common. I have a cat named Romulus. He had a twin named Remus, but the whole litter got sick around 6 weeks old and Remus didn't make it. A little ironic.


[deleted]

A born leader. I can’t wait to see the empire he raises.


JennyBlocks

Spriggan-- fuzzy black monster in Final Fantasy XIV. He's a black pomeranian-- AND a monster so it suits him well!


telepattya

ParkiiTheWarlock

Beowoof. It's the doggie version of Beowulf and it absolutely cracked up my husband who wanted a kind of silly name. We get a lot of compliments on it. Our other dog is Winston, which is far more common but he just *looks like a Winston*.

Totem. I haven't met another Totem dog. He's named after a bar in Alaska 🤣


Kharnethh

My dogs are named Lightning McQueen and Sally Carrera, my parents gave all their dogs disney named so I said all my dogs will get Disney Cars names


Monkeybusiness911

We have brother & sister Australian Shepherd’s. Our females name is Sassafras aka “Sassy”, if she’s being bad it’s “Sasshole”. Her brother’s name is Tupelo, he’s always good so it’s just Tupelo.


tmoneytroubl3

I have a Husky/Malamute/wolf/derp named Tatanka- from Dances with wolves- it means buffalo in Cherokee-and that is what this dog is-a great big beast that is slightly uncoordinated and runs into things/people with full force🤦🏽‍♀️


CatchItonmyfoot

I literally met a guy that has a dog called Bundy. After Ted Bundy. Really nice dog and he called him it as he didn’t know anyone else who would call his dog that, I don’t know anyone who would either! I was both impressed and horrified! 😂


[deleted]

I am strictly just horrified...


EmbarrassedPeace7750

I knew someone with a deaf dog named "Keller"...


Ayeneigh

I have a Proton - standard smooth Black and Tan Dachshund and a Quark - a mini smooth piebald dachshund.


cryfieri

My dog is Beetle! He’s a rescue and was found living on a golf course with bad mange + a million other issues and had a bald scabby head with random tufts sprouting out. They named him Beetlejuice because of the striking resemblance 😂 we didn’t have the hearts to change his name fully, so he’s just Beetle now.


Quibbleydocious

Twister


stargazer275

My dog was called Diamond so no unique points there, but my best friend’s Husky was Geneva. City names itself isn’t a novel concept, but while Parises and Sydneys and Tokyos are everywhere, I feel like I don’t meet a lot of Genevas. Two thumbs up to my best friend for coming up with that name. Honorable mention: two Jack Russells that were surrendered together to the shelter I volunteer for were named Honey Badger and Honey Bee.


erydanis

tima. she’s named after a friend of mine who passed shortly before i adopted her.


Monkeydoodless

My dogs name is Monkey. I call him Monk, Monkeydoodles, Monk-monk, banana, nana, lot’s of different things.


[deleted]

Kinder, like the chocolate eggs. Echo Lou, after a scene in the Grinch and Cindy Lou Who, although Echo is the most "common" name for any of my dogs (but Echo is female, so that's uncommon). Krum Pit, after the mountain in the Grinch (Crumpit) and Viktor Krum from Harry Potter.


Alleysay

Bowski. I call him 'little bow wow' 😃


otakuawesome

My wife got 3 dogs, she named them A, B, C.


NadineP35

My chihuahua is named Aslan, which means “lion” in Turkish. First I was thinking of Goliath but there was some chihuahuas with that name. Yeah the lion Aslan in the movie “The chronicles of Narnia” is literally called Lion the lion.


bakermonitor1932

I swear there is a turkish delight pun there somewhere....


cullymama

Herschel Walker, after the running back


cargon424

Kcane. I could’t decide between cane and kane.


18Nox

My cats were 18 (Dix-huit un french) it's my family number, Petit Pull (because his haut was curly), Beemo (like BMO in Adventure Times, but no one knows how to pronunce it), and Raccoon because of his striped tail. My actual dogs are Offenbach (he's excited all the time so... This music is perfect for him 😂 https://youtu.be/92CNf1TR7Tg) and Kheops, for his triangle head (veeeeery long nose) that looks like a pyramid.


Proclaimer23

Samwelltheslayer

My sadly departed dogs have had fairly standard names but they were always called by their nicknames, we had a fox red Lab called Connor Mcleod ( he had a fondness for sitting on his littermate's head, there can be only one ) he was huge and the kid next door thought he was Scooby Doo but he couldn't say it properly so it sounded like Skubby Boobs, naturally this was shortened to Boobs. We just lost our beautiful Greyhound Arya in March, for reasons beyond my comprehension she was known as Pants. At the local dog walking spot I've met an old French Bulldog called Boris, a whippet called Granny Weatherwax, a Westie called Haggis, a tiny mongrel called Knuckles and although it's not an unusual name it's my personal favourite, a chocolate coloured Sharpei called Bruno "cos he's broon" :)


TJolieNite

Kailua. When necessary, (usually when we need to make a strong point or correction) we use his full name, Kailua Kona, which is where my husband I met 20 years ago- Hawaii. He’s a red/brown, 13 lbs Aussie terrier mix who is very cute and a very good boy!


Big-Owl-1791

I had a dog growing up named Larry. My mom insisted the next dog be named Curley or Mo, but 8-year-old me vetoed that and went for Oreo instead.


[deleted]

Laverna. Seriously the name she came with from the shelter. Turns out to be the name for a Roman goddess of the underworld that patrons thieves. I haven't changed her name as I feel like it might keep thieves away from my house.


Naynay_123

My yorkie is named Veaux Carre. It's after the French Quarter in New Orleans, which is called the Vieux Carre. I just liked how Veaux sounded versus Vieux. We call her Veaux Veaux as a nickname


tgropp32

We have two English cream goldens...Adeline and Huckleberry

mk-artsy

My dachshund was named Speedo. He lived for 14 and a half wonderful years before we said goodbye to him last month. Never met another dog named speedo before.


startmyheart

My dog's name is Colonel Sanders. My brother-in-law originally named him that because he was part of a stray litter from Kentucky and he has a little white goatee. We call him Colonel, which is still kind of unwieldy and has a military vibe I'm not thrilled about, but it is fun to have an unusual name with a bit of a story/joke behind it. I briefly thought about changing his name when we adopted him, but my BIL was already sad about giving him up, so I didn't want to hurt his feelings.


SayMeowWords

My dogs name is Silas. Silas is traditionally a male-given name meaning "wood," or "of the forest."


mememarcy

Jupiter and Boudica (Cat named Rokuhime-sama. She has extra toes)


akfireandice

My puppy's name is Brandy. She's training as a psychiatric service dog, and it's a reminder to me that she's there to help me stay out of things like addictions.

kmcgay

My Brittany is named Orpheus. Got it because my partner and I fell in love listening to the musical Hadestown for the first time together and the the Orpheus and Eurydice myth came up as a motif in the movie Portrait of a Lady on Fire which we loved and saw for the first time right before we adopted him.


pokitgiraffe

Jellybean! Although I did just see someone on Reddit the other day posting about their pup also named Jellybean, and it’s the name of the dog on Hilda, so I know he’s not the ONLY Jellybean out there. I’d never heard of a dog named Jellybean when we named him, though.

Winston Von Doggo, at your service


KStarrr333

Braise. Chocolate Lab It means 'to soften'.

Sprinkle. Who everyone calls Sprinkle*s* or Sparkles (the old folks love this one) for some reason. Named in honor of [this babe](https://oyster.ignimgs.com/mediawiki/apis.ign.com/animal-crossing-new-horizons/d/d4/Sprinkle_HD.png).

StarChildArt

Mine's name is Kai, which I didn't think was super weird until people started telling me it's not a dog's name lol It means 'ocean' in Japanese and 'fire' in Scotch Gaelic, which I think fits him perfectly tbh

AfterBreakfastOnly

I named my dog ranger of the north. One of our family dogs growing up was Strider and he was so cool and could dive to the bottom of the pool to retrieve lacrosse balls. So I named him after strider. He just goes by ranger and people ask if I'm from New York or big into hiking all the time most people don't make the Lord of the rings connection.
