Meet Molly, Alfred and Earnest: 30+ Dog Pawrents Who Gifted Their Dog Children With Whimsical Hooman Names

When you meet a Brad, you're usually not shocked that he's a Brad. He has that Brad body language and an on-brand Brad vibe. It's like meeting an Erica — she's obviously an Erica, with this enormous Erica atmosphere around her. But it's trickier with dog names. Dog names can be a bit misleading — a pup might be named "Thor the Bork of Thunder", but is he all bare borks or an actual god among dogs? Another dog might be called "Sir Waggington Woofalot", but is he more wag or more woof? Who knows!

But when dogs are gifter with humble hooman names by their humble hooman pawrents, there's a perfect match between the name and the dog, even more than with people. Is your dog named Violette? Of course she is — just look at her Violetting all over the place. Is your dog Tina? She's absolutely a Tina, and we would never guess otherwise. Is your dog Manfred? Well, that's a Manfred face more than any human Manfred that ever existed.

Imagine the dog pawrent of these sweet doggo siblings calling for them after they've been loose at the dog park, and a random stranger brings you two lost children named Alex and Abby. Like, thanks, but no. These are the wrong children.

There's something nice about knowing hooman children and doggo children are treated the same when they make trouble - even to the point of calling them by their full name. It's rather funny.
