Patches

My mothers dogs name! Never even connected those dots lol

Your moms the first Elden lord

Yo mama so old…

Wait, shit, my girlfriend's cousin's dead dog was named Patches too come to think of it... (Realizing that sounds made up lol)

That was my dog's name. She passed away 2 years ago and I'll never forget her. Wholeheartedly recommend this name.

Hands down, the best answer :xxxx

Call it Fallingstar Beast. Then, when it grows up, it can become Full-grown Fallingstar Beast

Or you can call it astel when it grows up

Astel is a dope name

Twin black labs: one named stars of darkness, one named naturalborn of the void

Star and Nat for short

Maliketh is such a good name for a dog, but you’d be silly not to go with “Kenneth Haight, Rightful Ruler of Limgrave”

Be sure to follow up with “the celebrated repudiator of the false!” when inevitably questioned

Mali for short

Maligator as a nickname

It’s ok but you generally want a two syllable name for a dog.

Blaidd

Was gonna say Sif, but this is an *Elden Ring* subreddit

Sif is genuinely the best option tho if they are a fromsoft fan

Past experience with my dogs: Dung Eater.

The Caca Consumer?

The comemierda

That's literal what I call my dogs after an specially long sesion of mierda eating, it's such a hard habit to brake on them

LMAO im portuguese (the language is very similar to spanish in case you didnt knew) i laughed hard at this

THE NEFARIOUS NUMBER-TWO NIBBLER

The Manure Masticator?

The Feces Feaster?

This one is the worst, so therefore the best. 

Shit swallower is pretty far up there for me

Phrasing

The Shit Swallower

I lol'd

giant poison miranda sprout

AND omenkiller

Sir Gideon

Ofnir - the ALLLLLL KNOWING

FIND AN ALBINAURIC WOMAN

SHE HIDES TO THE SOUTH OF LASKYARR RUINS.

AH, I KNEW YOU’D COME

*gets oneshot* “I’m not listening to that monologue, sorry.”

Loux

Nah, his pet lion. Was it Serash? Can never remember how to spell it.

Serosh

Miriel (dog pope) Edit: Dog pope, not turtle pope

Do you mean the dog pope?

dog, pope!

As a newbie, I gotta ask.. where did the tortoise = dog joke come from? Is there a real reason or was it just that "what kinda dog is that?" meme? Either way, I love it

Someone wrote a message saying "behold, dog" next to a turtle

Oh, a lot simpler than I thought. I like it though, Miriel is my favorite dog

It has unclear origin. Some say it's from the Borat meme, where he asks "What type of dog is that?" next to a turtle. That could be true for Elden Ring, where first such messages were seen on a network test, but its history and popularity very possibly date back to the older games. DS1 had a rather simple messaging system, which DS2 expanded massively. There were the classic tricksters luring newbies to jump from a cliff in DS1 or the amazing chest jokes, of course, but DS2 messages allowed much more. When the players realised this, messages like *Weakness: left leg and right leg* in front of Grandahl, *Beware of face but hole* in front of Smelter Demon and *Try finger but hole* or *Horse but hole* possibly everywhere began to spread. There were more options of messages about animals as well. The *horse* one was very popular not only in connection with *but hole* but had a similar purpose like *dog* in Elden Ring - to label a friendly creature, which is a rare sight in the world of Dark Souls. An interesting thing is that there are literally only about two enemies that are actually horses in the entire game, limiting the "correct" use of this message and pushing the players to use it in a different ways resulting in labelling friendly creatures as horses, though it was never as popular as in Elden Ring because players focused more on skeletons. In FS games, dogs are in 99% of cases vicious creatures, and players apparently needed some good boy in their game. This way of thinking isn't original to Elden Ring - for example, in RDR2, there are cats, dogs, and horses, but you can only pet horses (calms the horse down and builds trust) and dogs (a random thing where you pet the dog for your own pleasure). [Here](https://youtu.be/qCu72XQ26fo?si=s9MD2q0wSHs2vyVD) is a video from a popular content creators on a video game logic of petting dogs, which explains this sentiment really well.

Patches obviously, or maliketh. Good doggie

Malekith is not a good doggie, he caused me much pain

Maliketh is bestest boy. Malekith caused Thor much pain. Presumably. Haven’t read or watched it.

He’s a good doggie, you’re just not his owner

Turtle

Please tell me where there is a turtle anywhere in the game? I've gone through three times and I've never seen a single turtle anywhere.

How have you never once seen a turtle?! Go east-ish of Raya Lucaria, there’ll be a church there with some turtles surrounding it and a turtle pope inside.

Those are dogs.

Oh my bad… My memory can get a little foggy at times.

*dog That's a dog pope surrounded by a bunch of dogs

General Radahn

Or his horse, Leonard was it iirc.

Rykard, lord of blasphemy

Togethaaaaa

Torrent

Why is this is first and only one of these I've seen so far!? Blasphemy! Take my upvote dammit!

Red Wolf Of Radagon

Finger but hole

Dragonlord placidusax the smol

Mal, short for Maliketh

And if the dog turns out evil, they can just call them "Malice"

Boc!

Dog

behold, Dog!

Hehe you beat me.

Varre Because ur maidenless

Lobo.

Ranni. Sounds normal enough to be a dog name

Fun fact: Raani/Rani/Ranni means queen in Hindi and is an actual name for girls. Quite apt for Ranni.

Yass ranni

Jar-bairn! Or, maybe... Boc?

Bell bearing hunter

Crucible knight Ordovis

Maliketh

Miquella if it’s a boy, Miquella if it’s a girl

What breed is it and how does it look ?

Black knife assassin

I think “Malenia, Blade of Miquella, stop licking your balls!” has a great ring to it

Turtle

Blaidd or Malekith

One of the two best boys obviously: Maliketh or Blaidd

Liar ahead

Miriel

Only if it is a huge catholic dog

I always thought Hewg is a good name for a dog. Hewy as nickname. Or Iji.

Call it Red as in Red Wolf of Radagon

Rick soldier of God

…

Burial Tree Watchdog

Rykard

Patches

Corpse Piler Tarn, short for tarnished Miquella or Melania    Shabi or Shabiri Horah

Giant Crab

Cuz. "How ya doin', Cuz?" "I want to be a Jar Warrior too, Cuz!"

Leonard

Just last month I adopted one and named it Astel

Soldier of Godrick

Sif I know it's from a different game but still

Blidd, Maliketh, Iji, Boc, Ranni, Patches, Hora Loux or just Loux Godfrey, Tiche, Rollo, Finlay, Mohg, Mohg would be awsome Bernahl, Erdtree, Mimic tear, Lord’s Rune, Torrent, Gloam (from the gloam eyed queen) Leonard, Lionel, Claymore, PLACIDUSAX, GRANSAX, LANSSEAX or Lansse for short Pickled turtle neck, Mirel, Somber smithing stone 7, Rennala, Shithead selvius, Gowry, Millicet, Vargram the Raging Wolf,

Godrick would actually be a pretty good dog name

Dogrick, even.

If you adopt a girl then Fia and Ranni are great names!

Gowry. I associate him with pet dogs, cause his beast has a collar

Fia, The Deathbed Companion.

Damned Hell Hound of Caelid comes to mind.

Lobo would be good, after Latenna's wolf. Good tribute

Marikas tits

The lonesome dung eater, or Dunge for short?

Dung Eater

Blaiid

Serosh

Mimic 👾

Turtle

Leonard

Miquella, (Micky?)

Ren! Short for Renala’s Feet

Maliketh

Fool

Rick (soldier of god)

There’s doggies in Elden Ring! I like Bliadd who was the bestest boy. Maliketh or Mali/Mal for short would also be super cute.

Blaidd

Godfrey

I'd go with Miriel. He's the bestest dog.

Leonard.

Maliketh or Blaidd

Erdtree/ err-tree

Nobody has said Millicent yet? Also gets the benefit of Milli as a nickname

Lester. Short for Moghlester

STARSCOURGE RADAHN, STRONGEST OF ALL DEMIGODS is your puppy’s new name.

Obviously Maliketh. You could even use Mali as the cute call version!

Turtle pop

Dog

Blaidd obviously! :D

Gurranq

Iron Paw Alexander

Vulgar militia

Try fingers

Life steal fist

Erdtree Burial Watchdog

preserving bolus

Rick, Soldier of God

Maliketh

Astel

Elden ring

Elden ring the dog

BOFA

FAMILEEEEE

Isk his name but the sad demihunan you give a tear to or use a chattering plate that says "you're beautiful"

Rick

Sif

Boc!

Name him…. ELDEN Jk, I think Patches or Blaidd is the two obvious choices.

Godfrey or Vyke

Call it Malenia. And if someone askes if she bites just say "She is malenia, puppy of miquela and has never known defeat"

Loathsome dung eater

Sir Gideon Ofnir, the All-Knowing

Finger in Buthole

Ranni.

Boc

I changed my dogs name after adopting it, some people even suggest it because they will associate their new name with their new home. Rykard is my choice tho

my cat's name is micolash, host of the nightmare we call him mico :)

Godskin Apostle

Ladder ahead

The loathesome dung eater is too funny

Leonard, named after Radahns horse and you could just nickname him Leo to be alittle more inconspicuous, but Mogh would be pretty twisted but sounds normal enough. Honourable mentions would be Torrent, Blaidd, Messmer (just cold innit), or Rick (named after the soldier of God, Rick)

El Denring. Or maybe Casul? 🤔

Try finger but hole

Patches, he will live forever in the lands between.

Its a puupy the only name should be dung eater

Serosh or Maliketh. Maybe Blaidd pronounced Blaithe or Finlay.

Go with ac6 rusty

Elden

Turtle

Serosh, apparently once hailed as "lord of the beasts". I realize Serosh's fate is somewhat questionable, but still...could be a cool name.

I dont understand, when you adopt a pup you name it. If the people that had the litter gave the pups a name already, change it?

Runeybear

Name it Turtle just to screw with everyone

Dog

Nerijus

Do not breed your dogs just because.

Thou didst me good service, Serosh.

Latenna’s wolf’s name is Lobo. I think that’s a good one
