What is the dog's name?
It has been the most answered - question I have asked on Facebook - ever. Oh, how many people I have had answer. Everyone came up with such nice answers as to why their dog(s) is/were named the way they are...
Oh, how I have enjoyed reading ALL the lovely responses. EA BAGGE (one of our own)
and Linn (our “boss”) were also there to answer. Try to find their answers in my

I wrote some of the many answers (copied them) in a blog post on Ibbyheart https://www.ibbyheart.com/hvad-er-hundens-navn/
It became one of the most read posts that month. People really enjoyed reading WHAT IS THE DOG'S NAME – and getting an insight into that theme.
I just think that as dog people, we care more about our dogs' names than we would like to. Dog names mean a lot. They should be easy to call (for someone), they should be special or quirky – they should be human (Finn, Kurt and Else) – or they should be - well WHY is your dog called Spætte? Erling? Yoda or Tjalfe? Feel free to answer in the comments if you want to share.
I would like to share with you why my two dogs got their names.
There was BLOP; when I was little, I was at the cinema with my mother, where we saw "My Sister's Children" with Axel Strøbye (it was great, I liked him, but...). I don't think the film was very good, and when we left the cinema I said to my mother "The film wasn't very good, but you should know that when I grow up, I'm going to buy my own dog, and it's going to be called Blop, just like the little boy in the film. I want an uncle like him in the film, but I almost have that in Uncle Egon, so that's fine. And you're stupid because I'm not allowed to have a dog now". BOOM It wasn't until I was 31 that I was able to buy my own dog - my very own - my own first dog, BLOP (who was named Barney Pebbles). Blop's name ended up fitting him perfectly. He was BLOP.
There is FJOLLE; Fjolle is not a particularly common standard name. He could have been called something else, but now we have fallen in love with him as Fjolle. It simply came about because the two vets where he comes from (the Kennel) had named him Frère Folle (crazy brother). Which is quite ironic, since he was the only puppy in the litter (his mother was named Liva and father Indiana Jones. We didn't know what Frère Folle meant, but we thought it sounded a bit like Fjolle, and that's why he should be called that.
As a little puppy he wasn't silly at all, more like an old-fashioned and calm guy. He can't be called anything else today though. Fjolle is more cool, polite, particularly sensitive and clever. Someone named Fjolle can be that, right? Sometimes he's silly, and then we smile – and just love the name extra loud right there…
Fjolle's nicknames are; Foffe, Folle, Fufu, Bassefyr and Gyldning <3
So deeee…
What is your dog's name and why?
