I know way too many dogs named Bella. Or Ollie. Or black dogs named Luna. People need to start getting more creative with their dog names. I've never heard of a dog named Hans but I sure would like to. Or get even crazier and name them Corn. They would love it, I swear. But I once heard that it's best to name your dog a 2-syllable name that ends in a vowel sound because it's easier for them to hear.
But we never do end up calling our dogs their real names anyway, do we? It's always some cockamamie nickname we've cooked up like Mr. Man or Miss Hungry Breath. So it follows that we can really name them anything and get away with it. So maybe we could throw it back to names like Fido or Rex. Then the dog name cycle can begin anew. And we'll have more fodder for dog memes.
