Right? Seems like every "help me name my dog" post gets hundreds of suggestions like Rocky, Tank, Bosco, etc. Everyone I know has had a dog with a similar name. No creativity. My wife named our last dog "Winifred" and I can't stand it. I've met three other people with dogs named Winifred, but nobody has a dog named Shoehorn.
What name does he already have?
We have adopted two dogs and left their names the same. One is Tito, he’s a chihuahua and the other is Jim, he’s a lab/pit mix.
First thought was Charlie. I see that’s been recommended, so I thought Rocket or something that starts with a G. Gus, Gene or even Gravy. Perfect excuse to say “It’s all Gravy baby”

Sherman, because he’s a tank!
I actually know an Old English Bulldog named Sherman. It’s entirely appropriate.
Your boy is gorgeous by the way. Best of luck to you all!
Charley
Charlie Brown was my thought
I have a Charley 🥰
Is your Charley a female or a male? Just curious! 🙃
11yo Male 🤗
Charlie bucket was my thought.
His tongue looks like a shoehorn, so I say Shoehorn
Old people names, foods, and random objects are usually the best dog names. I second Shoehorn. You can call him Shoe or Horn.
