    Bosley, Bailey, Baxter, Bellah... what's with this two syllable B-names being accused of being dogs names?!!!

    Actually our dog was called Bindi... hmmm!

    Hey I was actually tempted at one time to stick with our foetal nickname - Scooby. Now THAT'S a dog's name, no arguments there!!!

    Ok..dogs names we have in the family, or have had.
    My 2 are currently Henry & Bella. Mum & Dad's is Wally. MIL's are Belle & Ruby.
    Past dogs - Jess, Maggie, Molly, Lucy, Mick, Kristy, Isabel, Zeke.... How many of those are 'dog' names?

    I think the only dogs names we had/have are Mooch, Tipsy, Sooky. I knew a dog called Rusty for years when I was younger & thought it wierd to find out my bestie's cousin named her DS that, but now I really really like it!

    ETA - When DS was born, we had the dog Jess.....then named him Jesse....lol. It took 4 months for someone to pick up on it though. It was purely an accident! We weren't going to use Jesse just for that reason, lol.

    I love the name Oscar and it was on our shortlist as a very sure contender until I started to run things past people............
    then I got ''oh yeah that snice but my mums/friends/nans/cousins/sisters dog is called Oscar''

    Has put a bit of a dampner on it and has slipped down past others but I am keeping it as I do feel if he looks like and Oscar then so be it. I love it!

    Shar - I know of heaps of Oscar's! My first thought was Sesame Street though when I first hear it, lol. Now I'm used to it.
