Introduction
The third sun sign in the zodiac is the sign of Gemini the Twins, and
it encompasses those born between May 22nd and June 22nd
of each year. Individuals born under the sign of Gemini are considered to be quick-witted
and talkative, often with a love of travel or education. People who have a
strong Gemini influence are frequently inventive and adaptable, but their ability
to multitask has limits and when they have too many balls in play it can
occasionally manifest as forgetfulness and flighty behavior. If your canine
companion fits this description, this list of notable Gemini’s may provide some
inspiration for their new name.
Famous Gemini Dog Names in Pop Culture
Interestingly, there are a few well-known Pug dogs, both fictional and non-fictional, that share names with some of the well-known and accomplished Gemini’s on this list. English painter William Hogarth created many famous paintings that heavily featured his Pug dog, dubbed Trump, a name he now shares with the 45th President of the United States, a Gemini named Donald Trump and one of Queen Victoria’s very famous pack of Pug dogs was named Venus, a name shared with tennis great, Venus Williams.
Frank the Pug is a fictional talking Pug, who shares the first name of Gemini architect Frank Lloyd Wright. Frank was created for the movie Men in Black and featured even more heavily in the sequel, Men in Black II. In the movies, the character had the ability to speak because, although he had the outward appearance of a traditional Earth canine of the Pug variety, he was actually a type of alien known as a Remoolian in disguise. The character was voiced by Tim Blaney and physically played by a canine actor by the name of Mushu, a Pug who had been rescued from a shelter before landing his role on the big screen, and he quickly became a fan favorite. Frank’s character was introduced to audiences in a short scene from the first Men in Black movie but was spotlighted in the sequel, Men in Black II. While Frank’s image is seen on a billboard in Coney Island during the third movie, he himself is absent, but he may still return for Men in Black 4, which is currently in production and scheduled to be released in June of 2019.
A more recent fiction Pug character on the big screen goes by the name of Mel, a name that he shares with voice actor Mel Blanc, who voiced several beloved Warner Brothers characters throughout his long career, including Bugs Bunny, Barney Rubble, Speedy Gonzales, and Porky Pig. Mel, the dog, is a small, slightly hyperactive Pug dog that lives in the same apartment building as the main character and his best friend, a brown and white dog named Max, in the animated movie, The Secret Life of Pets. Mel, although he is generally optimistic and barks ferociously at the squirrels that search for food in front of his window, he actually tends to be quite timid when it comes to dealing with the world outside of his apartment building.
Famous Gemini Dog Name Considerations
There are several things that can be taken into consideration when you are naming a new canine companion. In some cases, your dog’s physical appearance may lead you to a certain name on this list, like naming a particularly large or muscular dog Vince, after famous football player and coach Vince Lombardi, or naming a dog with hazel eyes, Hazel, after the groundbreaking jazz pianist Hazel Scott. In most cases, with lists drawn from famous people, the names are more likely to be chosen based more on personality or skill than on physical appearance, giving rough and tumble, tough dogs names like John, Octavia, or Clint, after exemplars of toughness and grit John Wayne, Octavia Spencer, and Clint Eastwood, while Walt, Harriet, or Ralph, after Walt Whitman, Harriet Beecher-Stowe, and Ralph Waldo Emmerson may be better choices if your dog happens to be the calm contemplative type. The namer’s own personal interests may also have an influence on the name that is chosen, and a person with an interest in cooking may choose a name like Jamie, in honor of well-known English chef Jamie Oliver, while a fan of tennis has many options, including Venus Williams, Björn Borg, and Lindsay Ann Davenport.
