Lilith.
 
Lilith - Wikipedia

Had a late friend who was a retired supervisor of some sort with the General Services Administration of the US government in DC. He named his pooch Lilith and made sure the rest of us knew what he meant by this name. He would give us a lot of the background for the name. The man did have a strange sense of humor but was fun to talk to. You never know what kinds of people you will run into at the dog parks in and around the Villages.

He did talk a lot about the Lilith from the Ted Danson show Cheers as well. Lilith Sternin - Wikipedia

I went to high school with a Stan Butkus.

I once had a dog named "Stay". Good dog, but hard to train. I would say "come here, Stay", but he would never come.

He must have been quite confused. LOL

Just recalled Schatzi, Smokey, Bonkers, and Yoda. Not to mention the Jazzy who had a mohawk. Jazzy was shaved except for a mohawk. He used it as a way to create conversations with the ladies.

I looked up this Yiddish gem. A shmegegge is a person who is both untalented and petty.

Yup... My old man nailed it.

I know a few of those.

Another dog named I remembered recently is Muffin. Another is Jet. Some more are Biggins and Lollipop. :bigbow:

If I had a dog, I would name it "For Sale" or "Free To Good Home"

You probably would not have that dog long, I expect.

No arguments in our home naming pets.
All dogs were called 'Dog.'
All cats were called 'Puss.'
Even today when I pass the time of day with dog walkers when out walking, I still say "Hello Dog" to their pets. Sad!

I think I have forgotten the names of most of the dogs I have met at the Lake Paradise Dog Park as I only go there a few times a month.

Andy is one of the dogs I met who goes to multiple dog parks. Tony another.

Some more names of dogs around the Villages or vicinity: Lucy, Weasley (after the family in the Harry Potter novels and movies), Glitter (and that name really fits that dog), many a Sandy, Max, Dixie, Chase, Katie, Rusty, Simon, Pippa, Nadia, Brodie, Brady, Chewy, and Tanya with Tucker.

Just remembered Heidi, Pru, Chico, and Rita.

I saw Heidi push a level water bottle with a bowl at its end into a hole with her head so that the water flowed into the bowl. Smart German Shepherd.

Chico and Rita team up in their big yard to come at prey from different sides like some kind of 21st century velociraptors. They have caught and killed a number of squirrels, mice, kittens :(, and other critters.

If I get the Green Light without asking for it I will move with the speed of Nucky lightning and you can name me dog Bubkis or you just call him or her Bean's. :1rotfl::1rotfl::1rotfl:

We watch dogs every so often for friends and our friends' friends. We accept no drama dogs if you know what I mean. We had the sweetest little girl named Cinnamon last week and I miss that little pup. A fine animal and a credit to her parents.

We watched two German Shepards for my son several months back and overall they were cool but this isn't the time of life for me to be dealing with two behemoths like Tank & Shiloh!

When the time comes, 100% rescue only, no discussion. They need us.:)
