.Silky Terrier Dog Names in Pop Culture
The Magic Roundabout began in France as an animated television series in 1964. It was later adapted and produced in English by Serge Danot (from the Clisson region of France), where it rapidly became popular with young children and adults alike. The main character is a dog named Dougal (also known as Doogal) who had a penchant for sugar. The show combined magic, poetry, and humor to appeal to the parents as well as the children, which resulted in a wider audience. Eric Thompson did the original narration and voices of the programs, and often made up the stories to fit the pictures while he went along. While the character of Dougal was loosely based on a Skye Terrier, the character has the same long flowing locks of the Silky Terrier.
The set is a colorful stylized park, and the name of the series comes from the large roundabout or carousel that features in the storyline. An adaption of the television series was later produced into a movie in 2005 ( titled The Magic Roundabout). Among Dougal's friends were Brian the snail, Dylan the Spacey Rabbit, Ermitruse the Pink Cow and Zebedee, a Jack in a Box. The plot involved Dougal and his friends on a quest to stop Zebedee's evil twin who was intent on creating an eternal winter. The outstanding characteristic about Dougal was his coat; it was so long and swept the floor as he walked along, as does the Silky Terrier's. If you are a fan of this series or your children are, then why not call your Silky Terrier Zebedee - it would be rare to find many dogs with this name, yet it is simple to say and would be unique.
The movie had a host of great episodes including titles such as Bubbles, Cannon, Rustler and Oyster which you could take as inspiration for your dog's name. The witty and loveable Dougal captured the audience's attention with his witty humor, the colorful characters, and the simple yet funny plot lines. Dougal stands out because of his innocent character, his beautiful coat, and his round funny face. This character is a popular dog not only in England, but in France and around the world. The Magic Roundabout has been shown on over 98 Television stations world wide, and it has been translated into 28 languages. Talk about success! This cartoon pooch has captured the hearts of young and old, and will always retain a high place in pop culture history.
A Silky Terrier living in the United States is the perfect example of not knowing what to name your dog. So much so that his owner, Jeff Winner, has no less than 20 names for his Silky Terrier. Most commonly called Rossi, this rescued canine also recognizes names including Raise Da Woof, Rufus, Wooflet and Roscoe.
Silky Terrier Dog Name Considerations
The Silky Terrier is an incredibly loyal and devoted dog; they bond closely with their owners and like nothing more than to be with them as much as they can. Keeping these characteristics in mind, you will want to choose a name that gives them respect and dignity in return for their affection. Dog owners love to get out and about with their dog, so a name that is catchy, easy to say, and unique works the best. Some names can be very popular, and you will find that a lot of dogs in your area may have the same name. Baxter and Milo are great names, but they are often abundantly used. It is the same with Madison, Holly, or Dixie. Calling your dog back when you are out visiting the dog park could be surprising. You may find yourself surrounded by several dogs with the same name, all looking at you in anticipation! Ideally, a name that is less common and one that is unique to your dog's personality may work best. Surnames can work quite well as a name for your dog, as these are less used. Names such as Kramer, Grayson, and Slater are easy to say. Another option is to choose a foreign name such as Nikita (Russian), Adonis (Greek) or Caprice (Italian). The names sound wonderful and are quite different from the usual selection. Our list of names for a Silky Terrier has been compiled from several sources, and have been checked for relevance and suitability. All you have to do now is to check out our list and find that one special name.
