Name that dog

[fifilabelle]

wardytron and I have spent many months in debate over what we are going to call our 2nd whippet doggykins. We liked Oscar because it sounds cheeky and fun, but unusual and ever-so-slightly posh. Also, it shortens to Oz, and both are great to shout over Hove Lawns

Evelyn.

TrueFakt: Evelyn Waugh married a woman called Evelyn.

I don't like Alfie for a dog's name, only cos I like that name for a person.
I don't like animals having people names really.
You don't get people called Spot or Rover.
Oz/Oscar is alright. I like that name for a dog. Mainly cos I don't like it for a person.

*I* know what I mean!

Anyway, thought this might be of use...

I personally like Vlad (after Vladimir Nabokov)

I'm sure you'll come up with something much better though.
I like Huxley too, but it *is* Huxley the pig.

If I shouted Vlad across Richmond Park, the police might be called. Nothing named after mass murderers please!

I didn't think of that!
