The inlaws had a dopey Cocker Spaniel (who had [i]such[/i] a big crush on me it was funny) called Duffer. As in 'D' for 'dog'.

when I was a kid we had two gerbils who didn't have names. Or at least that's what I thought. I learned later my dad referred to them as shit and shat because that's all they seemed to do but he wasn't allowed to say it in front of small children (and I don't think we ever knew which was which anyway).
Errrrr! Think catwalk Naomi Campbell. Lol
Hilarious 😕

My brother tells a story of his time staying in Marina Del Rey. His neighbour had a dog called success. John occasionally walked it on Venice beach but it was forever running away. Cue the comedy chasing and shouting 'Come back success'. Not an uncommon cry in LA

Three mates of mine went sharesies on a greyhound some years ago. They had all sorts of stupid names for it but the racing commission kept turning them down till they struck on Nads Revenge. It helped that one of their surnames was Nadsille (or something)
Anyhoo ... fast forward to the mut's first race and picture my mates, pissed as parrots and dressed in dinner suits, down at the start line. Dogs go off and they start shouting: "Go Nads!! Go Nads!!"
Mohammed?
Mohammed
I used to have a dog called Mohammed.
Didn't pay much for him, kept him for a while and then sold him for a prophet.

"minge, minge, come here minge"

My friends just got a lovely little black cocker spaniel and the first time I heard it's name I thought he'd said Winston, I comically thought of the chill Winston line from Lenny Henry, reused in lock stock, it turns out I'd misheard and it's actually Wilton. Thinking about it, it makes sense as he sells carpets!
My own dogs are named Louis and Elle, a bit of a play on the French for him and her, (they are Dad and daughter.)
