Flubber Inspired Dog Names

Introduction

Following in the footsteps of The Nutty Professor, Flubber is a story surrounding a creative and innovative professor, Philip Brainard. Somewhat obsessed with his new invention, a rubbery substance that seems to have a personality all its own, Professor Brainard somehow forgets to attend his own wedding. In only the way he can, Robin Williams portrayed the absent-minded professor who utilizes this new "flubbery" invention to attempt to win back his girlfriend. Flubber - the nickname Professor Brainard bestows on the rubbery-substance - is rather mischievous and provides the perfect antagonist to the socially awkward professor as he attempts to win his love, Sara, back.

Phil

Professor Philip Brainard is a brilliant man, but he is also rather absent-minded. He has two great loves - his fiancé Sara and his work in the laboratory. The professor is so focused on his work that he often forgets to attend to other things - in particular, his wedding date. The absent-minded professor has forgotten to show up to his own wedding on three separate occasions. However, his sweet fiancé forgives him - at least two of those times. On the third occasion, Sara is not so forgiving. Add to this that Professor Brainard now has his new invention - Flubber - to contend with. Professor Philip Brainard is quite lovable even in his absent-mindedness.

Another Phil that is quite lovable is an Alaskan Malamute whose owner created a Tinder profile for him. Phil's profile became quite popular, as did his companions on the profile - his brother Niko and a cat named Milo. Tinder is a dating site; however, Phil isn't necessarily looking for love. He often asks those whom he interacts with for "belly rubs and head scratches" in lieu of more traditional dates. Phil's popularity took off. Soon, he began receiving messages from other Tinder members. Phil's owners, Shane and Emma Matthews, post the screenshots of some of these messages. The messages are good-humored and hilarious.

Phil and his companions also have an Instagram page to communicate with fans. Phil currently has over 320,000 followers on his Instagram account. Phil, Niko, and Milo also have a YouTube channel titled "Life with Malamutes." The Matthews most definitely enjoy life with their Malamutes. Phil was the best man at their wedding.

Phil and his brother and Milo the Maine Coon cat also have a Facebook page. They have nearly 10,000 likes for that particular account. Although Phil is still currently looking for love on the Internet, he has yet to find the perfect companion.

One last Phil the Dog is not a real dog in the canine sense. This Phil was a cybernetic dog created in 1928 by Henri Piraux in France. The first prototype was not mobile, but the creator kept working until a version that could not only bark but move forward was available. Phil was the result of photo-cell technology.

Flubber Inspired Dog Name Considerations

The original film that Flubber is based on is a 1961 Disney black and white movie titled The Absent-Minded Professor. In the original film, Professor Brainard owns a pet dog named Charlie. The exact breed of Charlie is not known, although he appears to be a terrier of some kind. In Flubber, the pet dog looks to be a Wire-haired Jack Russell Terrier (or possibly a mixed breed with some Jack Russell heritage). Either way, when considering what breeds would be suited to a name from the Flubber movie, the Jack Russell Terrier and any mixed breed dog are two breeds that are acceptable.

Furthermore, the actual Flubber itself is described as "lively." This is a characteristic of many terrier breeds. It is also a trait common to the Jack Russell Terrier. The Jack Russell Terrier is able to leap over relatively tall fences and is often considered a breed that is prone to mischief when they become bored. The Boston Terrier is also a breed that can't seem to help themselves when it comes to getting into trouble. This lively breed loves to jump and play. In fact, some Bostons love to chase a bouncing ball - which is part of the infamous dog scene in the Flubber movie. Truly, any dog with a great deal of energy is fitting of a name inspired by the movie Flubber.
