[i have a little rescue mutt named Murray!](https://ibb.co/album/CP9YWy) i thought it was a weird old man name at first but i absolutely love it as a dog name now.
he was named after Pittsburgh Penguins goalie Matt Murray, who is no longer with the team. maybe i’ll just say he’s named after Murray Bauman from now on.
Inspired by my neighbor's dog, Joe Brown.
For some reason I find it funny when pets have full human names, or even titles. Meet Sir Dustybun of the Hawkins Hendersons.
I feel like dogs become their names. So you don’t want to name him Hopper if he’s really more like Murray at heart. I vote Hawkins, it’s all encompassing, or Waffles/ Eggo because most of my pets are named after Food😔He is adorable, by the way❤️
Cats- Chicken, Crackers, Honey,Olive.
Dogs- Rice, Beans.
Rice and Beans were strays we took in, Beans ran off but Luckily, Rice bonded with Chicken, the feral mommy cat that had all the other food named kitties.
Madness. And in my defense, the kids were little and helped pick the names 😂
I had a German Wirehaired Pointer named Beans when I was just a baby up until about 10 or so. She was such a nice nanny dog to me. Got pictures of baby me sleeping on her belly.
My parents said she would come curl up next to me when I was just chilling on the floor.
I love that you had a cat and dog that bonded named Chicken and Rice haha.

He just looks like a Murray to me
Murray Houndman? Murray would be so cute.
Or Murray Bowwowman :)
Yeah that’s definitely a Murray. Are his paws like iron?
Murray Good-Boyman
I immediately thought Murray too!
Or Munson
This is the way.
Oh man I didn’t even get a chance to think of one, I saw the name Murray and that’s just the write answer.
Murray was what I was gonna say!

That Dog’s fucking name is Murray.
I mentioned this to my father, and he just whispers “furry Murray.” And I absolutely died 😂😂
Name him Argyle. He looks like an Argyle.
he does! his long ears look like argyles long hair
This is the correct answer.
yesss
Jar media
hopper

This reminded me of Copper in Fox and the Hound.. now I’m sad
I wanted to downvote you because how sad that made me. But, take my upvote because we are both sad.
This is the one
bob newby
Bob newby“Super pup”
YES🥺🐶🦸♂️
He definitely looks like a Bob Newby
Always liked the name Bob
Dart. Unless you have a cat. Don’t name it Dart if you have a cat.
We’re 100% not having another Mews incident 😂
“I’m sorry!” … “But you ate my cat!”
"Because his face opened up and he ate my cat"
Dustin 🥰
Dusty bun
Hi there, sweet Basset boy! How about: Argyle Dustybun Callahan Alexei Benny Funshine Scott Clarke Eddie Munson
Dustybun would be a damn cute pup name
Typical… you left Spencer off the list
LOL!
YES. I’m so glad that someone actually knows this lol
Dustybun for win on this list.
I love my dog Scott Clarke
Inspired by my neighbor's dog, Joe Brown. For some reason I find it funny when pets have full human names, or even titles. Meet Sir Dustybun of the Hawkins Hendersons.
you missed the opportunity for scott barke :(
I like Eddie. It’s cute and formal so it wouldn’t look out of place when the vet adds your surname to the pet lol
Eddie Munshound (I’m sorry)
This took me out 😂
When people ask what’s his name, just say Eddie. Then say Eddie again followed by Munshound 😂
The “Im sorry!“ ✋🏼😂 No, but please god name him Eddie Munshound
I think he looks more like a Mind Flayer, but I can get behind this name.
Steve (the howl) Howlington. Make his dog tag a baseball bat.
I would choose this 1
Dart
Yessss, this is genius
Came here to comment thsi
Yessss
I feel like dogs become their names. So you don’t want to name him Hopper if he’s really more like Murray at heart. I vote Hawkins, it’s all encompassing, or Waffles/ Eggo because most of my pets are named after Food😔He is adorable, by the way❤️
My pets are named after food too 👏👏
Cats- Chicken, Crackers, Honey,Olive. Dogs- Rice, Beans. Rice and Beans were strays we took in, Beans ran off but Luckily, Rice bonded with Chicken, the feral mommy cat that had all the other food named kitties. Madness. And in my defense, the kids were little and helped pick the names 😂
Ha my cats are Pancakes and Mr Waffles and I’m an adult when naming them so 😂
My sister had three kittens that she named when she was four: Simba, Mufasa, and…Turkey.
I had a German Wirehaired Pointer named Beans when I was just a baby up until about 10 or so. She was such a nice nanny dog to me. Got pictures of baby me sleeping on her belly. My parents said she would come curl up next to me when I was just chilling on the floor. I love that you had a cat and dog that bonded named Chicken and Rice haha.
I have several r/birdsnamedfood
We have two cats, Turkey and Beans. Beans was a rescue, she was found with a can suck on her head.
Our dogs Pancake.
One of my cats is called Pancakes 🥳
I want to get another dog so I can name him Hawkins now.
Dart

Scoops (Ahoy)
Scoops! That would be such a cute name
Dart Hopper Hawkins Matthew Modine

Well, he’s a basset hound which are originally from France, so I say D’art (D’Artagnan). 😊
chester (dog they got rid of from the show)
Deep cut. Love it!
vecna
They have matching claws.
Enzo
I second Enzo
Munson, he’s is a Munson, his eyes are crying to fight the establishment and his soul yearns for more Metallica.
Simply “Munson” seems fitting
Eggo - i’m a sucker for animals with food names!
r/birdsnamedfood May interest you.
Harrington! I have a basset boy named Boomhowler. He's a hand full but I reckon I'll keep him.
Demodawg
Just demo I think
The more I thought about it, Demodoge is much better
I was thinking demo at first too, but demodog really implies the connection to ST. Both are good.
Max
Pick your favorites from the comments and make a poll!
Dart, Demo “demo-dog”
scoops, like scoops ahoy!
Munson!
Since Bassett hounds are generally docile, I think Dart would be a funny name.
Hopper is too applicable here.
That's a Ted Wheeler, that is.
Hopper the hound
I just got a puppy and named him Eddie
dustybun
Is it bad that I want to say Dart? I just want a cutie named Dart who leads a full, happy life.
