Speaking of Bruce... if he were a springer spaniel, he could be named Springsteen

Chance, Rocky, Sadie, it depends on the dog. Our Blackmouth Cur's name is Chance, we were his last chance and only chance. The breeder was going to destroy him because his mother's milk dried up. Our rescue, "Chance", he turned 6 today.

We have an Airedale terrier named Chief. It seemed to be a logical name to us as my husband is a retired navy aircraft mechanic. In the Navy someone who works on planes is an airdale and the highest enlisted rank is a chief. So we thought it was a good fit. Plus there is an old joke "when I get out of the navy I'm going to get a dog named Chief so I can kick him in the butt each day and blame everything on the Chief"😄
We also have a mixed breed small terrier named "Scampy" for the way she scampers as she plays.
You have to have fun with picking a name for a dog.

That is just so wrong.

my vote---barkley. i really like it!

Pam, if my moniker had to be attached to a dog, at least he was well loved.

Come to think of it, I have been called a dog myself a time or two... usually when I was playing Pinochle and I 'sandbagged' an ace or two.

Mike LOL. When we first adopted our dog (named Mike), from the rescue group, I planned to change his name because my sister's recent ex was also named you-know-what. But I got outvoted by my kids and husband,,, and even my sis was ok to keep it. Soooo, Mike the boston terrier was never renamed. He was a great little dude, happy, even tempered, and very handsome!!!

The very best dog name is D O G Pronounced As Individual Letters not as a word.

We operate a dog boarding business, so we see a LOT of dogs. One of my favourites is a pair of miniature dachshunds (weiner dogs) named Oscar and Maya.

From our clients, it appears that the most popular names seem to be Bella, Lucy, Maggie, Max and Sam.

A century ago, my grandfather named his dog 'Jackson'. It just happened, purely coincidentally you understand, to be the same as the surname of the vicar (=pastor?) living next door. Apparently, my grandfather used to love shouting to his dog things like "Jackson, you filthy cur, you come here right now!"

I knew a K-9 officer who named his German Shepherd K-9 "Fluffy." His reasoning was that it would be hard for the bad guy who got bitten to tell the jury that he got bit by "Fluffy."

I have a Jack and an Oliver, though I didn't name either, and Candy (male, so that's unusual) and Janine. Janine got a call from Costco last week, they asked for her by name, about her prescription. I guess they thought it was unusual for a dog, too. They probably figured Bobbie was the corgi and Janine the human! I didn't name any of them.
