so our Cat was ill (minor fortunately) but once she's gone we'll probably get a dog. My son & his mate then started thinking of dog names, particularly with a view to me having to call the dog back.
They came up with...
C**kgobbler
Just wondering what the STW hive mind can come up with?
If I had an alsation I'd call it Alan.
"wait for it"
but i'd get a whistle if i were you.
(Top tip, get a dog now, the cat may move on/off quicker)
My last dog was officially named lady brankstaff luck III but we always called her Piggy **** face
We have friends whose family terrier is female and called.......Jeff, it makes me chuckle everytime they call her. No idea why they called her that (and it was years before the online Jeff craze that's popped up).
A friend of mines neighbour had a great dane called Colin.
Still makes me grin 25 years later.
Mate's family had a Shihtzu called Peter when I was growing up.
How about "Bike Forum"?
Syndrome.
I want to call our whippet and lurcher Gannet Street-Porter and Dustbin Timberlake, but its too late, they've already got boring names.
Friend has a Westie called Dave. As exhibited by this thread, clearly we're all amused by animals with really mundane human names!
Fetch or Ian.
These dogs with human names .. Alan, Colin, Jeff etc.
Imagning if these type of names were used for babies now....
"You've had a baby boy. Wow congrats"
"Yeah you'll have to come around and see baby Keith"
My mum has 2 standard poodles... I named them Toto and Dotty 😛
The parents dead-fish-eating, faeces-rolling, carpet-vomitting labrador is officially called 'Oban Sunset Princess'. 'Lucy' for short thankfully.
The old owner of Oban Bicycles had a pinscher called Mr Yammy, always amused me.
Roger - as in fall about comment on leaving the pub - "sorry guys I've got to get home to Roger the dog" 😉
my brother had a staffordshire called Natasha
Not really comedy - but a guy in my village has a dog called Lucy (and has had her for about 8-10 years). His current girlfriend is also called Lucy. I imagine that can get a little confusing...
My next door neighbour has a Hungarian Rizla* called Keith. Or more like 'Keef'.
*Possibly not the correct spelling
We used to camp on a farm on the Lleyn Peninsula in the early 80s and they had 3 sheepdogs all called "Dog"
My Dad asked the farmer's wife why they were all called Dog and she said she didn't have time to mess about calling 3 names. Weirdly it seemed to work
IHN - MemberIf I had an alsation I'd call it Alan.
One of my colleagues had an Alsation called Zebra, because he liked Alistair Maclean
When I was growing up my dog was called "Dog". It was the only name it would come to 🙂

Our Border Collie was named Dylan. Whilst he was a puppy, about 5 years ago we were training him using his name and discovered that our next door neighbours son had made a new friend in school. His name was also Dylan. The dog got a bit confused when the neighbour and his friends were playing in their back garden during the summer holidays.
If we get another dog we would consider naming it Pantera, or Genghis.
My favourite comedy dog name is Senor Alec Thompson
My dad decided to name his female jackapoo 'Walmsley' 🙂 . Nobody to this day can understand why or where that name came from.
He's really protective over it though and nearly punched an old fella in Ulverston who laughed in his face and told him it was the stupidest name he'd ever heard when he asked what the name was and my dad told him.

Colin is a brilliant name for a dog. That man family on Gogglebox who have loads of dogs.... I think they're called Colin, Trevor, Alan and Dave
Our springador puppy was originally named Derek by his breeders which I thought was a great name but was sadly overruled. He's now called Lucas.
(any excuse to post a pup pic)

reminds me many years ago I saw a Far Side cartoon by Gary Larson, two dogs talking to each other.
One says "my name is Argblar, Destroyer of Cats, but my humans call me Rover"
Mate of mine has a dog called Wordsworth. His missus likes it because she thinks it's classy, highbrow and literary. He named it after the dog in Jamie and the Magic Torch.
If I had a dog I'd call it 'Jesus', then when the JWs come knocking asking me if I've found Jesus I can say "yeah, he's in the kitchen."
Two options for you
NBoogie. So, when it's jumped on the sofa, you can yell, "Get down, Nboogie!"
Or....
Myface. That way, when it's lagging behind you in the park, you can shout out, "Come on, Myface!"
We have friends whose family terrier is female and called.......Jeff
Our bitch (called Bramble) was to have this name if I'd had my way. I was overruled.
Colin is a brilliant name for a dog.
Reminds me of the one from Spaced.
called.......Jeff
That's a great name for a pedigree dog if you also have a mongrel.
Cos, then they'd be Mutt 'n' Jeff.
Good friends have a Collie called Colin. Makes me smile!
Any small cute cuddly dogs should be called Tyson, Sabre or Arnie.
We've got two dogs (well one now actually as one sadly died last year) which we rescued from the streets of Taiwan. One is called NiHau (chinese for hello) and the other ByeBye (also used informally in chinese).Used to get some classic looks when I called them to heel in the park in Taiwan.
I'm just going to list all the animals I have had over the years, I think there are some comedy names here:
Brambles, Liberty, Rhubarb
DJ, Scaramanga
Cecil, Cedrick
Lightening
Roger, Ralph
Chaos, Bedlam, Mayhem
Twizzle, Thunder, Shadow, Storm
Cloud, Rain
...Just realised this thread is dog names.. 😳
Only two are dog names, but you probably can't guess what animals they are, especially Cecil & Cedrick
My next door neighbour has a Hungarian Rizla* called Keith. Or more like 'Keef'.*Possibly not the correct spelling
Does it like to roll?
Monty Don's dog is called Nigel which always makes me smile.
I wanted to call one of our Springers Dave but got overruled 🙁 He's now called Rolo 😕
One of the best names I've heard though is Deefer, as in Deefer Dog.
How about Youlilgit? as in Get off the sofa, 'Youlilgit!'
I know a wolfhound called Dave, seems even more amusing when it's a giant thing called that. Other's we meet include a lurcher called Russell ("We call him Russ for short") whippets Arthur and Gordon and a chihuahua called Zorro.
Used to have a GSD called Onza. Current staffie cross is names Bailey but normally called "stinky".
Heard of a dog called "cerberus". Not that funny, until you find out its a beagle.
Our dog was called Bingo. The new owner calls him 'bings'.
Our future dog (Border Terrier) will be called Elvis. I was toying with the idea of Jesus. Imagine shouting his name in the park 
Mate of mine has a cat called Peanut Head.
I used to have a dog who would usually respond to pretty much anything I called him. Hampton, Ricky and Fat Heed were his usual titles.
My two spaniels are called Ted and Ralph. I am very concerned about the status of the drainage in the lower field though, despite Ted spending most of his time there.
Friend had a black lab called Goose, not sure why
Crazy Alan of the fatbike fraternity has a dog called Deefa, yes as in D for dog
Neighbour never got round to naming their dog so it got called Puppy all it's life
