MY poor ol dog is named Buddy, is modern day version of Fido. (not MY pick!) Even the vet looked at us, like, "no, you didn't.....for real, what is this marvelous dog's name?" He didn't SAY that, but, we could see it in his face.
However, on bright side, entire neighborhood finds Buddy's name easy to remember. /really, everyone knows and remembers his name. One of my children was given fairly fancy name, no one could ever remember it. Plain names ARE easier to remember.
Even ppl who dont' know my dog, pet him and say,
"Hiya Buddy! Nice dog, What's his name?":msngiggle:
I found Buddy on Nov 4th, the same day Barack Obama was elected, and i wanted to name the dog some version of our new president's name, Barack, Rocky, Barry, Bama, something...cuz my dog was black + white, and very smart. But, we decided against it as it might seem disrespectful.
Then i played with idea of naming Buddy "Almost" after a character in movie, "Apocolypto" who was nicknamed "Almost" cuz he was almost killed. Buddy is from death row. But, my daughter said, "Mom, picture standing in yard, calling "Almost Come!".....well, i didn't name my dog Almost.:dognowink:
I think that is about when i lost my right to vote on dog names...:msngiggle:
