What "hooman" names DONT work for dogs?

[SkyeSue]

oh, my neighbour has a black greyhound she's called 'Black dog'... I can't stand it, it's SO contrived. Every time she stands in the garden yelling 'Black dog come here, BLACK DOG!!!! BLACK DOG!!!!' I want to yell 'Oi! Blond tart, give her a proper name and she might respond' 

(I don't get on with her btw )

I saw someone in the park who was calling his dog - "Bassett Hound come here"    Not sure if it was the dog's name or he had just forgotten what it's name was.  Either way, I thought he was a p*llock! 

I like most hooman names for dogs - not sure if things like Jeff, Ian, Richard or Mark work though

Somebody near us has a dog called Geoff. For ages I thought she was shouting a person, 'til I realised.

Oh oh when we were younger my sister had two gerbils she called Jeremy and William because if you shorten those names you get 'Jer & Bill' a little tenuous but we thought it was brilliant at the time

Our male labs were Stanley & Sidney.

This is true (have to say that 'cause sometimes I like a joke).  I have friends near Buxton who have a dog called Fanny!  Well I do not mind saying "Have you seen my Mundy or Jenni" but there is no way I would want to wander the woods asking if anyone had seen my..........other dog!

I know someone with 2 springers called Bonnie and Clyde which is pretty cool, and as you know a family at our dog training class have a dog named LADY SPOT 
I had enough trouble picking the names for our gang, so not very good at coming up with names for anyone else's dogs - sorry.

I have a giant snautzer for a neighbour called Betty.   You get used to it after a while.

There is a man near to me who takes his dog in the park and his dog is called Lionel. Its some kind of huge terrier.  I think it suits him.

Or worse if someone asking them what they are doing.... 'I'm looking for...' or where are you going 'Out to get....'

I think probably a quite amusing name would be Doug (in Scotland pronounced Dug) (which is also how some pronounce Dog)

Oooh I could go on forever ....Barry, Malcolm, Brian, Gareth, Darren
But then don't take comments from me to heart because if when I get another one, a name I have considered is Roy

My parents had a dog called Roy when they first got married and before I was born so a great dog name!

My nephew has a dog called Norman. A friend called their tortoise Colin.

I don't think John, James, Richard, Keith, Alan, Francis or Michael really work for a dog.

No ladies names suggested yet I see!!

Would you call your dog Sharon, Tracey or Barbara?
