Humans
have named their dogs with unique and cute names
since
dogs have been domesticated.
We know many ancient Egyptian dogs names from leather collars
as well as stelae and reliefs.
They
included names such as Brave One, Reliable, Good Herdsman,
North-Wind, Antelope and even "Useless".
Other
names come from the dogs color, such as Blacky, while still other
dogs were given numbers for names, such as "the Fifth".
Many of the names seem to represent endearment, while others convey
merely the dogs abilities or capabilities.
