What "hooman" names DONT work for dogs?

[Kimberley]

I have a friend who's mom had a border collie called floss, and another that has a cavi called danny, neither really suit the dog, Its like childrens name I dont really think you should rush there choice..

  You're right! I find that there are some "hooman" (love that) names that are perhaps too normal for a doggy! Such as Steve and Lee! But I think that the names i consider to be older (such as Albie, Archie, Raymond) are fantastic for them!

I do hope i havent offended anyone! As it happens my name is Sophie and a lot of people seem to like that name for pets!  I dont mind - Im an animal lover!

Ive just realised that my best friends cat is called Stevie (officially Stevie Wonder)

I met a little girl the other day who informed me she had just been given a hamster for her birthday and had called it Sarah!!

I think Cedric and Edwin are nice, because they are quite classy, just like Cockers are. Rufus was going to be Jake, as he is black, but it reminded be of an awful man whose case I dealt with at work. He stalked a lady and ended up in Court, so I thought of Rufus and got teased because he is black not red. It suits him, so I don'tcare. My 17 year old cat called Basil died this morning. I do agree that Basil is not a dogs name. He was Basil because his markings were a bit faulty, and because we like to use herb names for cats

I'm so sorry to hear about Basil, he was a good age. I like that name.

Run free at the Bridge Basil.

I know this doesn't apply to dogs, but it's in the same vein...many years ago we were planning a house-warming party and thought we should invite our neighbours.  We hadn't met them, but had heard the lady calling "Martin", so my OH went round to invite her and said "of course, you and Martin would be very welcome to come along to our party".  She gave him a funny look and said "Martin's my cat"   

And they didn't come to the party (and neither did the cat!)

Our dogs all have human names and so do the horses only they came with theirs my brothers racehorse is called Tina not to too bad but the pony...... His name is Earl sounds like a stripper.

I love human names on animals all mine have been along these lines  we also used to have a cat called Roger cos he was a dodger......everyone thought that was weird but it really suited him 

I remember Malcom Roberts had a cocker called Andrew.  At the kennels we had an Adrian, Sebastian, Tim...he was Tim Tim your nice but dim   , Dunross, Duncan, Mary, Jane, Helen, Janet and Joan (sisters  ) I met loads of bassets called Fred 
Oh and my best friend used to have a mini schnauzer called Ieuen after Ieuen Evans the welsh rugby player, have to say it with the accent for full affect.
