Names and their personalities
« on: February 15, 2004, 08:58:31 PM »
KellyP posting on her new puppy's name has got me thinking :? , so here we go.....

Have any of you ever noticed that our beloved pets can sometimes take on the personalities off their names, heres an example.....

A few years ago i bred a lovely light blue who i decided to call Victor - mainly because he had very sharp teeth as a baby - 'Victor the vampire' :) .  
Well luckily he did grow out of this habit quite quickly :) but unfortunately he changed for the worse in the form that he was soon known to all as 'Victor Meldrew'  :shock:   Yes, you have proberly guessed, that boy could whitle and winge for Britain.  Thankfully he was lovely in nearly every other sense :D

One time when he was at Crufts i got talking to a lady who had her Mexican hairless in discover dogs.  We were laughing about Victor and she told me about her little bitch.  She had a beautiful mexican name that the owner thought meant 'beautiful flower' in mexican.  Well this said bitch was always really flirty whether she was in season or not and would always be rubbing herself up against any avaliable male.  The previous year the owner had met a Mexican visitor in discover dogs, and she happily informed her of the beautiful meaning of this bitch's name.  The visitor laughed loudly and then went on to inform her that it was in fact mexican for prostitute  :o  :lol:  :o

Have any of you noticed any of these kind of trends :?:  If so can you keep an eye/ear open reguarding then name 'Daisy'.  As this is what i plan to call my next pup.

Good thread!
Pickle.....well, that's an easy one, he's always in a pickle! Whether it is falling over his ears, or getting tangled up in his lead, or getting stuck under my bed  :shock:  he's always in one!

We chose the name Blue because 1. he is of course a blue roan and 2. because my hubby and son are evertonians!! :wink:

The only time really that i ever call him Blue now is when i'm on here! :?

He's now affectionately known to us as "Boo" which is much more suitable for him as he never fails to surprise us. :wink:

See now this is another thing that i have noticed.
How many of us call our beloved ones their names that we chose for them :?:

In my case:

Laney is known as 'loodlebum' or 'laneybug'

Jessica is 'jessicaboo' or 'jessieferret' ( cos she looks like a ferret)

Lace is 'lacey' or 'shoelace'

Sasha is 'Sashabasher' or 'Boo'

My beautiful late great Maddie was always known as 'Puddleduck'

He's living up to his Indiana Jones daredevil name, maybe there's some truth in this name thing! :lol:

I still call Georgia 'GeorgiaBear'  But of course with my Lutonian accent it doesn't always sounds as if that's what I'm saying.  The other day this woman asked me 'What is your dog's name?'  She just couldn't work out what I was saying!  Then of course I had to go into the explanation of where the bear part came from because thankfully now that the puppy coat has gone she looks like a proper cocker!  I think she still thought I was mad...  :lol:
