I’m watching the puppy bowl and 2/3rds of the pups are named after celebrities or food.

    Maybe cookie in a different language? My late doggo was named Ringo, which is apple in Japanese, but dad named him like that, because he was spinning around - riņķot, to spin, riņķoja, spun around - just altered to a usable name.

      Haha, cookie is already American English and we’re Australian and Irish. Maybe that’s enough. Or we should go the other way and call her biscuit or tim tam.

      My grandmother had a dog called toffee as a child, so I like that. My parents in law had 2 jack Russel’s called rom and Jerry. So a cartoon character is an option too.
