Lovely dog @Loxley We are huge hound fans. Our Whippet's kennel name is dreadful, her real world name is Luna. I do agree about two syllables, and nothing too embarassing to shout in the local park.
Dogs seem to respond to consonants. One I owned used to get excited when I said. "... across the common". It responded the same way when I just said "C".

My Italian friend was scolding his two boys for being too boisterous on Southport Beach. “Enough!”he shouted, but said it in Italian “Basta!” That produced some askance glances from nearby parents.
I thought the idea now is to call dog/pets human names and kids pets names. We have a Tim, Ian and Mike all sniffing each others behinds on a Saturday morning (they are the dogs, not the owners) and i've met a couple of daves.
In the vet’s surgery waiting room I was browsing through a specialist magazine for cat owners. It had a ‘in memoriam’ page and one entry caught my eye: “Hitler and Mussolini, very much missed but playing together in cat heaven.”

We played there as children with my cousins who lived in Birkdale 😊

We rehomed 2 barmy springer spaniels . One was calledDick but my husband is Richard so we changed it to Mick which he took to ( the dog not my husband ) .The other was called Lester which we tried to change to Buster but he wouldn’t have it . They lived to be 18 years old and I miss them so much . Wish we still had them ,it might keep next doors 4 cats from spraying in my garden !
