What is your dogs name2007-11-25 2:53:20

If you have a dog what is its name? I have a 9 year old golden Lab called Frodo and in a few weeks am getting a black Lab puppy,going to call it Amelie.I'd just be interested to know what other people call their dogs and if theres a story behind the name?

Hi! I have a rescue centre so I've always got a lot of animals coming and going, therefore I find it helpful to have themes when naming animals and I've taken that over to my own pets too. My dogs are always named after plants - until November I had a Bracken and a Tansy, then Tansy had pups who we called Hazel, Douglas (Fir) and then the break to my rules ... Dougal, but even he is really named after a plant, the tallest tree in Britain is called Dughall Mor or Big Dougal - anyway thats how I keep up with naming loads of pets!!! Amelie is a lovely name btw. Just incase you were wondering; rabbits are usually named after pop stars, rats have "normal human" names (Brian and Andrew were the last in,) mice are named after sports players, hamsters current events - we still have Katrina who came in the day New Orleans was hit by the hurricane, ferrets are cartoon charecters, caged birds are named after charecters from TV comedies and I get my little sister to come up with names for the chickens - so far we have Charlie, Rebbecca, Ollie and Crazy - no theme at all there! Cats on the other hand seem to end up with what ever name suits them!

Hope I haven't bored you to death!!!
