Almost all of ours are named after Paul's relatives. The Dals he had when we got married were Homer & Lacy - some KY cousins. He fondly called them Hoot & Boob - some other cousins' nicknames. Then there was his rescue GSD named Dolph who was the guy that Lacy "runnoft" with.
Currently we have the Shiloh Shepherd trio of Carrie, Ben & Dempsey. He had Carrie's name picked out before we had the dog - "HarryCarry". A male would have been called Harry in honor of Harry Carey, but we got a female so called her Carrie in honor of his favorite aunt.
Ben is named after the grandfather that he lived with in KY for a while as a young boy.
Dempsey is named for aunt Carrie's daughter whose father had picked the name out (Jack Dempsey) for the son that she didn't turn out to be.
The only one not named for a family member is TruckDog (aka YotaDog) who is the foster we didn't name when we rescued her 7 years ago.
My family is pretty safe - who'd name their dogs Alvin or John or Tom or Margaret or Jean or Douglas or Patricia or any of the likes of those anglonoms.
Now texasannie, if you are going to call me by my Native American name, be sure it's correct - Honorary Cowgirl Without a Horse - afterall you're the one that came up with it!
For real about Hoot & Boob. It's what the "Dixon boys" were called & it apparently stuck for life. At this point Paul can't even recall their real names...but I was mistaken about them being cousins - they were not.
