Hahahaha!!! I grew up thinking my middle name was Dammit!
As the youngest of five, I was called "Susan, Steven, Jock, Stacy, oh damn, BARBARA!" more than I was called Barbara. Every so often, mom would nail it after Sue and Steve.

And let us not forget the ever-popular first and middle name combination, "Shut-up Dammit." Actually, I think I once saw a similar Gary Larson (The Far Side) cartoon. Two dogs were introducing themselves, and one said, "Hi, my name's Shut-up! What's yours?"

There were only two of us, but my Grandmother would still go "Luanne....Dana....DAMMIT! whichever one you are!" We also had a dog named "Cindy" and that name often got thrown in the mix as well

I LOVE this thread!
Of all my dogs, there is a definite favorite name. She was my first "very own" dog, a chow/golden mix who I acquired rather suddenly (A friend rescued a litter of puppies, I went to visit, and came home with one in a cardboard box. Can you say "how NOT to acquire your first puppy"? LOL)
She was solid black, with one white toe on her rear foot. I named her "Digit", after her toe. We had a long, wonderful 15 years together, and that one white toe was always evident.

Digit is a really great name!
How do you guys feel about really silly names? I once knew a guy with a pug named Baba ganoush. He was a really cool little dog.

I have friends that named their cocker "Toulie" after Toulumne Meadows in Yosemite.
I also had a siamese kitten once that would never sit still...she got named "Fidget"

I am definitely referring to this thread when naming fosters!
Cicero is my first "very own" dog and I had the name picked out before I got him. I wanted a GSD named Cicero so that's what it was.
Vice is a failed foster and one of the girls that fosters for the rescue had already named him Vice so I kept it while he was a foster and when I adopted him it didn't make sense to change it.
As for our family dogs Brandy was named at the pound and was Brandy the seventh or something like that. It worked and we kept it.
Shawnee was our St. Bernard puppy and had a hard time coming up with a name. Well the breeders lived out in the middle of nowhere in the Shawnee National Forest(or close to it) so that became her name.

My family is terrible. I'm Kelly, mom is Karen, sister is Kerrie, Dad is Gary (rhymes with Kerrie when yelled!) Had a dog named Kramer, cat named Kim.... I was called Kramer, Krerrie, or Krellie more times then I was called by my own name. Made life interesting. Uh-oh... Mom is screaming at someone. Does she really mean me, or was it the dog this time?
