Dog Names Meaning Dear

Introduction

We use terms of endearments for those we love and we act no different with dogs. They are every bit as dear to us as human members of the family. Terms such as darling, sweetheart, angel, honey, and dear are all used to refer to loved ones. Most people use them not only for spouses but also for children and pets. Interestingly, such names are frequently referred to as 'pet' names. If you adore your dog, then why not name the pooch a dear and sweet pet name to let the world know how much the pooch truly means to you.

Dog Names Meaning Dear in Pop Culture

Featured Famous Dear Dog

Martha

One of the most famous dogs in pop culture is Paul McCartney's Old English Sheepdog named, "Martha." The shaggy pooch inspired one of the Beatle's greatest iconic hits, "Martha My Dear." The song was featured on the Beatle's 1968 album, "White Album." When the album was first released most of the Beatle's fans assumed the song written by McCartney was really about his breakup with his long-term live-in girlfriend Jane Asher who had left him months before the album's debut.

When McCartney purchased his first home on Cavendish Avenue in London, he immediately went out and adopted a female Old English Sheepdog who he named, "Martha." Martha was born on June 15, 1966. The fluffy sweet puppy instantly won Paul's heart.

In an interview, Paul said this about Martha, “She was a dear pet of mine. I remember John (Lennon) being amazed to see me being so loving to an animal.” He said, ‘I’ve never seen you like that before.’ I’ve since thought, you know, he wouldn’t have. It’s only when you’re cuddling around with a dog that you’re in that mode, and she was a very cuddly dog.” He went on to say, ‘You silly girl, look what you’ve done,’ all that sort of stuff. These songs grow. Whereas it would appear to anybody else to be a song to a girl calledMartha, it’s actually a dog, and our relationship was platonic, believe me.”

“When I taught myself piano, I liked to see how far I could go, and this started life almost as a piece you’d learn as a piano lesson. It’s quite hard for me to play, it’s a two-handed thing, like a little set piece. In fact, I remember one or two people being surprised that I’d played it because it’s slightly above my level or competence really, but I wrote it as that, something a bit more complex for me to play. Then while I was blocking out words – you just mouth out sounds and some things come – I found the words ‘Martha My Dear‘.” Paul stated.

Martha lived with Paul until her death at the age of 15. She passed away peacefully at his farmhouse located in Mull of Kintyre, Scotland. During their life together, Paul and Martha were pictured many times together. They were true companions who genuinely cared about each other.

In 1993, Martha's puppy appeared n Paul McCartney's album, "Paul Live." The Old English Sheepdog pup was named, "Arrow."

Dog Name Meaning Dear Considerations

Creative words of affection have inspired what is considered true love for centuries. Vladamir Nabokov's great love letters that he wrote for his beloved Vera are considered the best examples of true affection ever depicted in writing. His love letters would open up with "my dear". Interestingly as their love grew they started to use animal-based terms of endearment to not only depict how deeply they cared for each other but also their adoration of animals. He would often call her his "Mousie", or "Mymousch"(which stands for "My Monkey" in Russian). Interestingly such impassioned letters all started out with the simple term of endearment "my dear".

If your dog is indeed a member of your household and your beloved canine family member then why not give the pooch a moniker that shows precisely how much the dog means to you? There are many dear-based names to consider that might fit your furry buddy perfectly.
