@katew
I've been meaning to say for a while that Linda and Denise are wonderful names for those two little JRT girlies!! The names suit them and they are so unexpected as names for dogs.
I've not suggested an male names... I've never named a male dog but I think Henry and Toby would be nice... Henry would be solid and reliable and Toby a scamp...
I also like Hector...

How funny - you have just named 3 of my son's school friends - and Henry and Toby are twins too
I also like Budgie - we once had a little dog called that for much the same reason John's Aunt's dog was called Cat  |

I like human names for dogs so that when you introduce them people don't know what to expect. I think it would be very funny to say: "You must meet Henry"; and then a little JRT pops in to say hello  _________________ "Plus je vois les hommes, plus j'admire les chiens."

Hmmm... my ferrets are called Lily, Poppy and Rosie.
I had rats call Pippa, Oscar, Henry, George and Fatty (cos he was)
Ummmm... we have had dogs called Wellington, Digby, Daisy and Bumble - Old english sheepdogs.
And a Irish Wolfhound called Murphy.
Seb's parent have had Otto's (doberman)
And Seb really wants to call Rhianna Mable or Myrtle.
Cant think of any more its too late! |

| A few years ago during the foot and mouth outbreak I walked my dog at Beddington Park in Surrey because we weren't allowed to walk on my local heath. I met an elderly gentleman with his British bulldog. She was 10 years old, carrying a frisbee in her mouth and wearing a Union Jack bandana around her neck - what a character... and her name was Blighty! I have never met a more appropriately named dog before or since. |

@ xristine
thanks - I love the names Linda and Denise (and Im quite fond of the girls too they are quite special ) and it causes no end of hilarity for my friends but i must confess it was the rather wonderful RR who named the girls. Shhhushhh but I think they may well have been named after two very special people  |

@katew - they are very special and you're right to be 'fond' of them
I know it's a long list but I'd like to add Hester... (means star)
