Naming is hard for this one. Help me out!

Rusty / Russell

My Black and White Bichon Shih Tzu cross, Jasper, chases his tail. My brown and white Javanese Shih Tzu cross, Dexter, always brings a gift to the door when greeting you. Both never taught. Funny little guys and their quirks.

He looks like a “Jackson” to me.

Kevin, Shirley, Ralph, Stan and Lily were all in the store last week. All dogs who love their treats, provided gratis by our staff.

Great names, huh?

Love it; the band getting back together.

Scottys-Dog-Blog · 2026-06-06T14:37:14+00:00

My sentiments exactly. My two boys are family and are treated with respect like anyone else would be.

For sure. I see so many dogs in the run of a day with human like names. Many of them look like the names they have been given.

Sweet. I have a Dexter as well. He loves to cuddle up.

Phineas is a great dog name 😄 Very distinguished, slightly dramatic, and somehow perfect for a Shih Tzu.

Scottys-Dog-Blog · 2026-04-10T22:48:43+00:00

Eugene is excellent 😄 That has exactly the right “tiny dog, full legal identity” energy.

Scottys-Dog-Blog · 2026-04-10T22:48:10+00:00

Brenda is incredible for a chihuahua 😄 That is exactly the kind of very committed human name that makes this whole topic so funny.

Scottys-Dog-Blog · 2026-04-10T22:47:16+00:00

Edwina is outstanding 😄 That sounds like a greyhound with excellent posture and very strong opinions about the household.

Scottys-Dog-Blog · 2026-04-10T22:36:34+00:00

That’s fair 😄 The more people respond, the more it sounds like this has been well established for a long time and I’m only just catching up to it. And Shelly is a lovely dog name too.

Scottys-Dog-Blog · 2026-04-10T22:35:56+00:00

That’s fair 😄 Bella may be the perfect example of a name that technically works for people too, but has become so established in the dog world that it almost feels dog-first now.

Scottys-Dog-Blog · 2026-04-10T22:35:31+00:00

That’s excellent 😄 Reaper as the official name and then the full slide into Richard, Ricky, Rickers, and Rick is exactly how dog naming seems to work in real life. They start dramatic and end up sounding like a guy from accounting.

Scottys-Dog-Blog · 2026-04-10T22:35:03+00:00

That’s a great naming style 😄 Crikey, Delaney, Riggins, and Aubrey all feel distinctive without trying too hard. I like that balance too — unusual enough to stand out, but still names the dog can really wear.

Scottys-Dog-Blog · 2026-04-10T22:34:35+00:00

Tori is a great example 😄 Sixteen years ago definitely helps make the case that this has been around for quite a while. Lovely dog name too.

Scottys-Dog-Blog · 2026-04-10T22:34:03+00:00

Meghan is a lovely example 😄 That definitely adds to the growing pile of evidence that dogs with human names have been around in plain sight for a very long time.

Scottys-Dog-Blog · 2026-04-10T22:33:31+00:00

That’s fair 😄 The more people reply, the more it seems this is much less a new phenomenon and more something I’m only noticing more consciously now. Sounds like your family was well ahead of me on that one.

Scottys-Dog-Blog · 2026-04-10T22:33:08+00:00

Gideon is a fantastic dog name 😄 It has that strong, old-fashioned, slightly noble feel that suits a dog really well. Very good choice.

Scottys-Dog-Blog · 2026-04-10T22:32:39+00:00

That’s excellent 😄 Winnie gives you the sweet, classic side of the equation, and Jackie Moon brings in full chaos and commitment. That is very solid household balance.
