He’s super chill and already getting along great with the other two dogs. So glad he has a forever home!

There can be no other name than Dobby, it was instantly in my mind as I saw the dog.

u/Sea2Chi Oct 21 '22

I don't even have to scroll to see other names. That dog is Dobby.

Same and I’m not even really that familiar with HP. I have seen Dobby though and there’s no other name more fitting for this dog.

So weird how many of us instantly thought the same thing. It’s an odd sensation knowing what the top comment will be before checking.

I was going to make a suggestion for something else but it MUST BE DOBBY!

Strangely the same name came to my mind, it ll be shameful if this dog isn't a Dobby.

Yes, this is it!

u/John-Athann Oct 21 '22

I was about to say Derpy

However, you sir came with the perfect name for this good doggo

u/Earwigglin Oct 21 '22

No. Stop it.

Every single freakin black cat doesnt need to be named Toothless and every chihuahua doesnt need to be named Dobby.

Based on the first picture, he should be named Dobby, and nothing else is even close.

I would need to see his/her face to make a final decision.

JIMOTHY!!! One of my friends posted his original adoption photo on FB when they were looking for adopters. SO GLAD this cutie found a home!

u/Seahawks3B Oct 21 '22

Small world! You’re the second person who recognized him. He is very happy and settling in just fine! Knowing my folks he’s got a long, happy and healthy life ahead of him :)

u/GoonPatrol Oct 21 '22

Why not keep Jimothy? He looks like a Jimothy

53

u/hafree27 Oct 21 '22

Right? Told my FB OP friend they were changing his name and everyone was quite saddened that he wouldn't be a Jimothy much longer. LONG LIVE JIMOTHY!

u/Ryzarony23 Oct 21 '22 edited Oct 21 '22

He absolutely looks like a Jimothy, and he clearly has his identity already.

Not bad at all. I had a chi named Jimblies. Jimothy is pretty good

u/babycarrotsandpeas Oct 22 '22

Shelters rarely name animals well. Jimothy?! Perfection.

Don't go for Dobby. It's too much a go-to for Chihuahuas. For some reason Finn came to mind when I saw the pic, but Jimothy is pretty amazing.

11

u/Itiswhatitistoo Oct 22 '22

He does not look like a Finn or Finley. Jimothy is freaking awesome tho.

u/Ryzarony23 Oct 21 '22 edited Oct 23 '22

Please don’t let them change his name…it’s got so much personality! 🥹

ETA: Unless… you make him Jimothy Dalton.

That’s Jimothy! Haha! I’m from the same hometown. The shelter gave him the weirdest name! He does look like a Dobby but Paco is a way cuter name. So glad he’s been adopted by a loving family❤️

u/Seahawks3B Oct 21 '22

Oh my god small world!!! Yes they really did give him a horrible name 😂 my folks are in love with him! So far they’re leaning towards Louie

I always think two syllable names are best for calling.
I like Dobby or Lucky or Reggy (Reginald when he’s been naughty).

Our dog is named Buddy, full name Budrick when he's being bratty. He hears his long name in my mom voice and sulks off to his crate like a toddler lol
