....to a point, I think it is important to keep it to one syliable, it is easier to say with authority.
Last dog was 'Hay Dog', the other dog was 'Ho Dog', or HayHo if you call them both. Ho is to close to No, it did cause some problems.
I am thinking 'Tick-a-Tick-a-Tick' the sounds, not the words for my next dog.
This Dog/That Dog
Kitty-Kitty-Kitty
I had a friend who named her dog Deohgie. Get it? D-O-G. LOL Personally, if I ever had a dog (unlikely), I always thought that I would name it something like WOO HOO so that if it ever ran away and I was looking for it through the neighborhood his name would travel farther than say....fido. You can holler WOO HOO much louder than Fido.
Anyway. In the past I have usually named my pets people-names, but given them nick-names too.
This reminds me of my mothers penchant for recycling pet names. She has had several dogs & cats named Lady, Angel, Princess and Queenie. When she starts to talk about pets, we always have to clarify which Princess, Lady, Angel or Queenie she is talking about.
Mom, are you referring to the shepard or the poodle?
I always liked cute names like Cookie, Gizmo, Schmoo, etc.... My brother likes to name his pets after places like Berlin or Paris. A friend likes to name their pets after famous designers like Lauren, Vera, etc....
My current dog is Mic (Mick) as in Crocodile Dundee.
My Cat is Cally and she is a Calico cat. Her legal name is pronounced Cal-E-Co (spelled Calico with an accent over the I).
The dog before Mic was Mr. Spock... we called him Spocky. He was a beagle/basset mix. Basset body and beagle head... great dog. Lived to be 15 and played everyday including the day he passed.
And finally the dog before Mr. Spock was Nutmeg... called nutsy for short. She was a Boxer (with huge issues - bad breeder). At the age of seven she was stolen from our back yard and used as bait to train fighting dogs.
Our dog's name is Ammo. It isn't an extremely creative name, but how many other Ammos do you know?
