    Your breeds most common names

    Keep hearing the same names in your breed?  Again and again and again...?  Just curious what you hear over and over again in your breed...  So not scientific evidence, just personal opinion/experience.
     
    Common Male Dobe names:
    1 - Kaiser (German breed/German name)
    2 - Zeus or Apollo (I think Magnum PI did this to us...)
    3 - Max or Rex
    4 - Buddy or Jake (I think to counter-act the "scary" factor)
     
    Common Female Dobe names:
    1 - Gretchen (German name again)
    2 - Xena/Zena (warrior princess?) 
    3 - Samantha/Sam/Sammy
    4 - Velvet or Hannah

    For Mals, they typically have a variety of names, but Thunder, Bear, and Jake seem faily common.

    Guilty as charged...actually DH named our Sheba.  But, I've never met or known of another Sheba.

    My Grandmother has named every one of her GDS Sheba!  They had a Sheba I, Sheba II, Sheba III.... and so on.  She always had a GDS since she was young.... still has one today.

    Growing up we had a black lab named Sheba.  She had such a regal name, yet was the biggest goofball, trouble-maker, clumsy dog.  My dad bought her to be a hunting dog, but she would consume the birds instead of retrieving them so she became my pet.  I adored her.

    This is fun to see what are common names in other breeds!
     
    I forgot Reba for the red females... I think that must be universal!  [;)]  We also get a fair share of Sables and Sadies...
     
    (My Bluetick coonhound was named Chipper, but he came to us with that name.)

    Too funny, I know one Akita, and guess what his name is....KUMA [:D], I had never heard that name before, I thought it was so clever!! (oh well, I guess I don't get out much [;)])
     
    For JRT, I would have to say "Jack" would be a fairly common name...not much thought there!! [;)]

    For PH dogs it's Ramses or Anubis. 
    • Gold Top Dog
    For basenjis its any African derived name.  There are a ton of Congos, Senjis, and Cairos out there.  I bet a lot of the basenji names are the same as the pharoah hound names.

    Jack and Jackie. Or Russell. That makes me really wonder about people....

    For Dachshunds, I meet a lot of Oscars.

    The one I hear for Cokers has always been "Lady" It seems like I can almost guess any female cocker I see is going to be named lady

    Then for the lowrider dogs AKA Dashounds, basset hound, cogies... They are often named Charlie, I've even meet a female basset named Charlie.

    Of corse there are the names that don't belong to a cerain breed, Like Bubba, Buddy and Lucky I have no clue how many dog's I've meet with thoes names.
