No wonder!
No wonder!My parents adopted a dog called Gillian / Gilly. We changed her name to Milly.
How could someone look at a dog and think I'll call her Gillian?!No wonder!Milly is much better!
literally just coming home from scotland and can confirm that isla sounds better there - the accent makes the “eye” at the beginning much prettier. i’ll allow itMy little girls name is Isla, but because my family are originally from Islay. When we chose it it wasn't a popular name and now unfortunately it is. It seems to be losing popularity a little now though thankfully. But we still love it. Said in a proper Scottish accent it sounds lovely. Never heard anyone say slimy before thats a new one.
I’m not sure if my dog’s name is acceptable now haha. It’s not Gillian but it is MavisHow could someone look at a dog and think I'll call her Gillian?!
Milly is a very sweet name
That's quirky enough to be cute though! (like calling a mouse Derek!I’m not sure if my dog’s name is acceptable now haha. It’s not Gillian but it is Mavis
We got Milly from a dogs home. If the dog doesn't have a name, they're named after the person who found them.How could someone look at a dog and think I'll call her Gillian?!

I've worked in dog rescue centres and never heard of this. Usually they're just given a name from staff suggestions or the dogs physical attributes/ personality.We got Milly from a dogs home. If the dog doesn't have a name, they're named after the person who found them.
We've had a Jacko the Jack Russell (it suited him so we kept it) and we currently have a Molly.
I've met dogs Eric, Bertie and Douglas. Douglas has a nephew called Jasper.
Fast forward 20 years…”the dog didn’t have a name so we named her after the girl who brought him in.

That's such a nice idea to use the name them of those who found them
Dexter to me is a nerdy one. Has his own lab and everythingat a playground the other day and there was an Otis and Dexter. Otis is just dorky as anything and Dexter is a well-known fictional serial killer. Nice
If I met a group of kids with these names I'd suspect their parents had named them after East End gangsters.So Alfie, Reggie, Ronnie, Frankie. Ect
i don't mind Alfie, but Reggie, Ronnie, Vinnie, Bobby, Lenny, Tommy, Billy, Jimmy etc. urgh.Anything that I associate with chavs.. So Alfie, Reggie, Ronnie, Frankie. Ect
I quite like Otis, for the musical connection ( Otis Redding), but Dexter I now either associate with the serial killer in the eponymous TV show or the cartoon one with a laboratory.at a playground the other day and there was an Otis and Dexter. Otis is just dorky as anything and Dexter is a well-known fictional serial killer. Nice
Atticus is my not-so-secret favourite « out there » name ( love To Kill A Mockingbird and the character with that name in it), and I quite like Artemis and Atlas too, as a mythology nerd. However, all paired together is a bit much, all the same initial and really close if not identical second letters!Seen on IG, twin boys Atticus and Atlas and their baby sister Artemis... and a dog called Archer
i know someone who has a tortoise named Steve.Oh and I know someone who has a cat called Trevor
We have an English health visitor and every time she says her name it makes me cringe...it just sounds really awkward and like she's saying "eela"literally just coming home from scotland and can confirm that isla sounds better there - the accent makes the “eye” at the beginning much prettier. i’ll allow it
