Would you name you dog Butkus?
 

Butkus the Dog Biography | Bull Mastiff Dog from Rocky

I have never run into a dog named Butkus here in the Villages or this vicinity.

Many Baileys, a Nick with a Nora, Stella, Jethro, Scout, Ginger, Jade, Sophie, Bernie, Benji, many Peties, Cocoa, Butterscotch, Gigi, Beau Derelict, Beau, Gidget, Chi Chi, the Great Gatsby, many Jakes, Sport, Cody, Princess, Charlie, Kimberly, Alaska, Savannah, Rugby, Ryder, Zeus, Harlow, Kino, many Mollies, Wednesday, Tanner, Chance, many Buddys, Poco, Moki, Peanut, Chestnut, Duck, Ducky, Jon Snow, many Graces, many Bambis, Scarlett, many Luckys, Chuck, Bob, Lil Jon, Zeke, Heather, Brown, Shelby, many Rileys, Puckett, Caper, Billikins, various Maggies, many Zoes, Spot, Dolly, a few Ringos, Darby, etc.

Sure.

I was a Dick Butkus fan.

I have always wanted to name one Willie Bite.

We had one named Shaggy Dog.

I judge people based on what their pets names are and what they call their spouse. I do. Not ashamed at all.

I have run into dogs named after various baseball, basketball and football players. As well as characters in movies like Nick and Nora.

No pooches named Tiger though.

You are a great guy but you are also very literal, Counselor.

Willie Bite. That is a funny one. Have never heard of a dog named that. I have run into Willies. And a lot of Billies.

Could be after Tony the Tiger.

I have run into two dogs named Jesse James. One of these belonged to a woman I have known for a very long time. She also has Cole and Younger. She has a thing for the Old West and its outlaws.

I am probably forgetting about three hundred or more dog names I have heard here in the streets of the Villages around the Postal Center and in the dog parks in or near the Villages.

I have met many dog owners while here in the Villages.

Beau Derelict is still my favorite name so far. I have seen the movie 10 quite a few times.

I forgot Rocky, Millie, Rose, Eva, Leo, Sarah, Corey, Smidgeon, Sassy, Kaia, Ripkin, and Semper Fi. Semper Fi was a very tricky basset hound who would steal its owner's breakfast by barking at something in one room while she was eating. This made her go into another room and the smart dog would go around her and get the breakfast off the counter or table.

Lots of funny stories about Semper Fi.

Butkus was Rocky Balboa's /Sylvester Stallones Bull Mastiff

I've run into a lot of Villagers with those names.

:coolsmiley:

Me, too. Sarah, Stella, Kimberly, Savannah, Rachel, Debbie, Debra, Jon, Bob, Chuck, David, etc. could be people or dogs.

There is a Rachel who is a Welsh Terrier and a Rachel who is a very attractive woman.

Know a Finn, Banjo, Titan, Fergus, Shiloh too but these could be dogs and/or males or female humans. Burt could be a woman I suppose but is also a dog.

If I get another dog, I want to name him Steve.

Please judge me.

Not sure if I have ever come across a pooch named Steve.

McQueen though. And Knight.

And a Winston. And a Churchill.
