Besides Barney, I have another basset hound, and she basically named herself! Here's the story:
She was a rescued dog, and her foster family was calling her "Olga". I really didn't care for the name Olga; it sounded too much like some old Russian woman!
So when I got her home, I started saying traditional names that begin with "B" (to go with Barney). Betty? Beverly? Barbara? Beatrice? No reaction.
But when I said the name "Brandi", she started wagging and smiling. I said it again, and she starting playfully jumping up and down. From that moment on, her name was Brandi.

When I get my female fawn colored Pug I'm naming her Peggy Jo.

I just love that name and a female pug looks like a Peggy, Patty, or Patsy to me.

We decided on "Brody" because we thought he would be tough and streetwise, but not a brainiac - you know?

Zorro, because he looks like a fox and, being part Chihuahua, it honors his Mexican heritage

My girls came with names...McKenzie and Allie. They had been so much trauma and deprivation before they came to us .... that we decided to keep their names ss the one familiar thing in their life...We would never have chosen these names.....but we love the girls and have come to love their names....McKenzie and Allie. Excettional Girls who enrich our lives in multitudinous ways.

I think Olga is great for a basset! Our next door neighbors have two bassets, Truman and Olive. Truman is commonplace around here (Harry Truman's stomping grounds, and the man was known for walking his dog around his neighborhood when home), but I especially like Olive. I think older school, less fashionable women's names are usually perfect for bassets; they're the schoolmarm librarian types of the dog world, to me.
