Anastasia13 Posted August 20, 2014 Posted August 20, 2014 Dogs respond well to two syllable names that contain the "k" sound and end with "y". With this in mind, Rochy would be great. You want to avoid names that sound like a command. For example, "Bosco" has a sound in it that sounds like "no". "Misfit" sounds like "sit", etc. Unless you want a confused dog or a dog you don't want to boss around I guess. Ah, so Kitty would be a good name for a puppy.
maximillion Posted August 21, 2014 Posted August 21, 2014 Maffalda. If it's female. Brett. Tho dUst is right, he used to sit down when you called him to come. Neither of those is particularly Catholic, but you could make them so.

Huh, I did not know this...no more dogs?
Freedom Posted August 27, 2014 Posted August 27, 2014 Saint John Bosco's gray dog before he disappeared (when Saint John no longer needed protection) was called Grigio.
BigJon16 Posted August 27, 2014 Posted August 27, 2014 Really anything from the Roman Canon would work..

chrysostom Posted August 28, 2014 Posted August 28, 2014 It would simplify to Doggy! What a wonderful idea!
Luigi Posted August 28, 2014 Posted August 28, 2014 Pascal! (although not a saint name) True, Pascal is not a saint. But the name is derived from the same root as Easter - Paques in French, Pasquale in Italian, etc.
Luigi Posted August 28, 2014 Posted August 28, 2014 (edited) I know you've already named the dog, so I should have posted this earlier, but... My aunt who is a nun lived at one convent for a while where they had a very large dog. He barked incessantly at strangers - and, of course, lots of strangers came to visit. So he was always barking, and the nuns were always shushing him ineffectively by calling his name repeatedly, "Gubbio! Gubbio!" after the town where St. Francis tamed a wolf that had been terrorizing the livestock and people. It seemed appropriate for this particular dog. Edited August 28, 2014 by Luigi
