I had a wonderful dog named Rudy, once. He was the sweetest little Bichon you could ever meet. He loved chasing the ball, so much, that he would throw it for himself, if you didn't throw it soon enough. I miss that little guy so much.
I love that everyone does this! Started off as Neville dogbottom and turned into boy, boogs, and bubs. The other is an elder rescue, she was named pistol but now it's fuzz or nubs.
My wife has a Xmas tree ornament of our dog and I bought her a new one that is Nandor from the show pointing and saying āfuh-king guyā. She loved it so much! When heās being a goofball I do that whole bit too. š
Get pet insurance immediately.
Iām an ER vet tech and although cute, frenchies are honestly one of the most expensive dog to ever care for. They often need upper airway surgery, which is soft palette resection and widening of the nostrils. On top of being horribly deformed, they are at high risk of rupturing their back / neck discs. I literally do anesthesia on these guys all the time for these problems.
Please get pet insurance right away and youāll thank me later
Also an ER vet nurse, I was going to leave this comment myself. I can already visualize the aspiration pneumonia estimate, with the owners crying because they canāt visit their puppy thatās in the oxygen cage. Pet insurance, pet insurance, pet insurance.
Sorry. Emergency has ruined a lot of breeds for me. Puppy is adorable, and I would 100% love on it for hours, but in the back of my mind I see thousands and thousands of dollars in medical bills.
Agreed. Harsh but name should be Dog breed that shouldnāt Exist. Between health and birthing complications the breed wouldnāt be alive without human intervention
Yep!! Our Frenchie got recurring staph infections throughout his entire life. So damn expensive and their quality of life sucks. I wouldnāt get another one even though I loved that little freak so much.
OP please take this advice. A coworker had a Frenchie that was supposed to be of healthier bloodline. They did their research before choosing a breeder. They had to put him down at 4 years old because of recurring disc ruptures. He was in a constant state of surgery recovery or prep. The emergency vets recognized my coworkers phone number from caller ID after awhile. It was heartbreaking.
Babysitting my gfs frenchy (Frank) right now. He had the back disc issue when he was a puppy. Now he isn't allowed to play and rough house or even run up and down the stairs for fear of it happening again.
He's basically a Tomogachi and the reason why all my dogs are mutts.
Just keep in mind that obesity is a huge problem, especially for brachycephalic (short-nosed) dogs!! One of the best things you can do for him is keep him lean. You should be able to feel his ribs with little to no pressure.
I recently said goodbye to the very best Boston/Frenchie mix who ever walked this earth. His name was Gustav, and we called him Goose. I love the thought of another little Goose running around, somewhere out there.
Among other thingsā¦my first Frenchie didnāt even make it to 2 years old before dying of a seizure in his sleep. My family & I got another just before new years, from a breeder who had the parents tested and everything; we had to euthanize him at 14 weeks because he started having seizures, vomiting & diarrhea. After over 24 hours straight of seizing in the ER, we decided it was best for him to end his life. Itās been devastating to all of us & weāll never get another Frenchie again; itās just not fair to the animals.
Call him Chokie or Wheezy, because he will *never* be able to breath properly due to being so deliberately inbred.
Edit: I agree that you shouldn't blame the dog, but you also shouldn't - under *any* circumstances - pay money for such an animal, as this will only encourage breeders to perpetuate the barbaric practice of breeding animals that suffer for every second of their entire lives.
How about āI Canāt Breatheā. Sorry, not sorry. Just makes me so sad. I get it, they are a popular breed to show off that you are classy. Pathetic. Wish the dog the best.
Please donāt delete this comment. I have only the best intentions.
Perfect name, of wheezy.
Thank god our government wants a ban on all flatnosed dog breeds like frenchies.
Nothing more than animal cruelty to breed m and buying them is just as fucked up.
Thank you for saying this. Anyone who willingly buys these animals has no conscience. Itās like doubling down on the shittiness of buying a pet, youāre buying one thatās inbred to death and can hardly breathe. Itās awful. But hey people want their ācuteā dogs to show off right?
Came for this comment. Had to scroll way too far through random name comments.
Hoping OP adopted but most likely not?? Saw a couple frenchies at a farmers market with āadopt me!ā vests on, and overheard a couple ask how much to adopt and the guy walking them responded $1,800 **each**! Like my dude, you are *selling* those dogs.
So many sellers use the word adopt to make buyers feel better! Or my favorite is when buyers tell me that the conditions were "horrible at the farm" and they "couldn't leave without them" and "if you think about it, we rescued him in a way."
If you paid for the puppy, you created a demand for more, keeping the "farm" or pet store open, congrats!!!
My little frenchie was rescued from a friend's mom who used him for breeding. Poor little guy spent the first few years of his life living in a crate in a horse barn. He's incredibly overbred and ugly as sin. But he is absolutely sweet and funny and I hope he has the best life he possibly can being a little brother to my other 2 rescue dogs. His name is Colt (obvious horse name, but it stuck), and I like to call him Sir Colton John and make fun of his summer teeth.
Nothing says "classy" more than deliberately inbreeding an animal until its skull is too big for its head and it has lifelong medical problems as a result...
You and I both know they almost certainly didnāt get a 3-10k puppy from a shelter.
Instead they chose to pay a breeder who by the very nature of the breed they sell, is not ethical.
Dead by ten, life of hellish poor health, euthanised after bankruptcy via vet bills.
Or my current favourite, bred for money laundering criminals.
I guess none of those roll off the tongue so maybe just call the poor thing wheezy .

Regular Sized Rudy
I just wanted to put another vote in for Regular Sized Rudy. Great name, and you know heāll be a little goofy sweetheart.
Can't find an inhaler emoji but touchƩ
I suggest this name every time I see a āhelp me name my dogā post. Someday someone will take it seriously I hope.
IMO this dog rlly looks like a Rudy
I had a wonderful dog named Rudy, once. He was the sweetest little Bichon you could ever meet. He loved chasing the ball, so much, that he would throw it for himself, if you didn't throw it soon enough. I miss that little guy so much.
Now, as an asthmatic person, I am offended that there is no inhaler emoji. I also love regular sized Rudy as a name!
His ears remind me of 'Gizmo" from the movie gremlins. I would name him "Gizmo"
Tiny box Tim vibes
*just look at me*
I'm putting in a vote for Regular Sized Rudy!
I love the name Regular Sized Rudy!! And it fits him perfectly!! š
Felt like a Rupert
Itās funny because the dog canāt breathe
yes rudy
How about Inbred Ted
Just pick some other name quick and start calling him bubba like the rest of us. I currently have two dogs, big bubba, little bubba.
I have big dog and little dog. They both come when I call dog. It's easier that way.
I named my dog, ācatā, and my cat, ādogā. Keeps things interesting. Especially when guests are over.
Did you add some language flair like Gato and Inu?
My brother jokes that he wants to get a dog and name it Stay. Come here Stay. Run Stay. Fetch Stay. lol
When I call "kid" all of mine come running.
Same. Dogs name is Nandor the Relentless, but itās a ton of dumb names instead. Nando, Nerdo, Nan-Doodles, Doodles, Dude-a-rito. It never ends.
I love that everyone does this! Started off as Neville dogbottom and turned into boy, boogs, and bubs. The other is an elder rescue, she was named pistol but now it's fuzz or nubs.
On the same vein of what we do in the shadows, Gizmo is also a great name!
Fuh-king-GUY!
My wife has a Xmas tree ornament of our dog and I bought her a new one that is Nandor from the show pointing and saying āfuh-king guyā. She loved it so much! When heās being a goofball I do that whole bit too. š
I appreciate this comment
My dogās nickname is Nandor the Relentless and she really leans into it :)
My dogs are Gus and Toonie, aka Gooby and Tater. Really, what's in a name?
My parents have a dog named Bella. We call her Bug. It started with Bella Bug and just devolved.
Had a Chihuahua go from Sippy Lou to Sippy to just Woo Woo.
Omg! I grew up with a Chihuahuas and pekingese family dog. His name was FLIPPY⦠;)
I have a large German shepherd/husky named Janet. Mostly gets called Janney Pants.

Bit long for a name, but I like it.
these kinds of comments make my day better thank you
Underrated
Also an ER vet nurse, I was going to leave this comment myself. I can already visualize the aspiration pneumonia estimate, with the owners crying because they canāt visit their puppy thatās in the oxygen cage. Pet insurance, pet insurance, pet insurance.
Thatās uh Depressing But thanks!
Sorry. Emergency has ruined a lot of breeds for me. Puppy is adorable, and I would 100% love on it for hours, but in the back of my mind I see thousands and thousands of dollars in medical bills.
Itās kinda hard not to, in your line of work
My friends French bulldog broke it's back while jumping down from the couch to the carpet. And the dog was only like 2 or 3 years old at the time.
Yupā¦same here, I can confidently say Iāve never seen a Frenchie die of old age. Itās awful.
Agreed. Harsh but name should be Dog breed that shouldnāt Exist. Between health and birthing complications the breed wouldnāt be alive without human intervention
100%. I came here to say they should name him āLifetime of Vet Billsā
Bill would be a good name!
It's why stitch is most fitting name of the popular upvoted suggestions round here.
Yep!! Our Frenchie got recurring staph infections throughout his entire life. So damn expensive and their quality of life sucks. I wouldnāt get another one even though I loved that little freak so much.

Iām sad I had to scroll way too long to find this comment. It should be at the tooooooop.
Also an ER tech, I instantly had the same thoughts. Looks like he needs his nares repaired already.
This needs to be the top comment. The cuteness tends to make people overlook the cruelty of breeding these dogs.

This is definitely the face of a Winnie The Bish
Aka aka aka Brown lightning
Aka Courtroom Brown
Aka Meester Wimstons
Big brother wimstons
Aka Prank Sinatra
The oleā Winston-Cece mess around.
Yeah. Definitely the face of someone not good at pranks..
TICKLE FOOT!
IMA HIT YOU WITH A SKI
Howād this blueberry get in here?
Anyone whoās ever worked in a veterinary hospital will tell you that around 50% of the French and English Bulldog population is named Winston
Winton
I'll cast my vote for Winston as well as the ones I suggested below. That's a really cute name for him.
Thatās what I came here to say!!
Yeah he do be looking like a less drunk Churchill lol
Rupert
My first thought, too. SUCH a Rupert!
First name that popped into my head. You have great taste.
This is what came to mind first for me too! He really does look like a Rupert!
Or with a slightly different touch: Rufus
I also thought of Rupert immediately!
Stitch!!
Every single time I see someone want a name for their frenchie I think stitch lol
Douglas.
Lil Doug
The names Father Doug
I named my cat Douglas :)
Bruce Wayne
Yes! Iād just call him Bruce
BRUCE
B for Brave. B for Bruce.
Or B for Batman
Another Bruce vote. Those ears!
He is absolutely a Bruce!
Or just āMr Wayneā
"Mahstuh Wayne"
Third vote on Bruce. Bat ears definitely match
He needs a Bat collar.
Bruce Wayne OR Batdog š
B.W. or B.D. or Master Wayne.
My SOās sister has two Frenchies. Their names are Bruce and Willis
But she has to introduce them as Willis and Bruce to make them really think.
Thatās cuz she Bruceās their willis
Batman was absolutely my first thought! Hopefully he grows to have a soft, deep, throaty growl/bark
Same here !
Was about to say this, those ears!
Bruce is pretty good. He looks like a Bruce.
Yeah Bruce is the one!
Wayne Bruce a.k.a ManBat
https://i.imgur.com/Cw1ADZD.jpg https://i.imgur.com/yGCDAgt.jpg my Bruce
I just wrote this, little Batman
yeah he look like a bruce
How about Willy Chonka!
That one made us laugh š¤£š¤£
Just keep in mind that obesity is a huge problem, especially for brachycephalic (short-nosed) dogs!! One of the best things you can do for him is keep him lean. You should be able to feel his ribs with little to no pressure.
r/NameMyDog
He looks like a Walter to me.
I named my mini Schnauzer Walter lol. I have 2. Other is Lincoln
Salvador
For some reason I donāt know, this is actually the only right answer.
I didn't know this was correct until now
Dobby sir, Dobby the house elf.
Yes itās the ears
And he looks like he'd really appreciate disgarded socks
I love this š
Gizmo
First thought Gizmo, second was Dobby.
That was my first thought!
Mine too!
Also my thought!
Mogwai!
Porkchop
[ŃŠ“алено]
Nah more Gizmo looking if you ask me
I'd lean more towards Dobby.
I was thinking Gizmo too. You got there first. š
I have a Yoda, all white. :) look just like Grogu, wish I had I known it was baby Yodaās name!
Came here to say this.
my heart says Bubble
I second Bubble
I third bubble
When pup is in trouble. ābubā
Wilbur
Goose!
I recently said goodbye to the very best Boston/Frenchie mix who ever walked this earth. His name was Gustav, and we called him Goose. I love the thought of another little Goose running around, somewhere out there.
I am now going to name my dog Goose
I tried to but got shut down
I have a frenchie named Goose, which is shorthand for Gus, which is shorthand for Octavius. Goose carries on.
I call my daughter goose :)
Very sorry for your loss. Iām coming up on a year without my best buddy as well. The world needs a little Goose running around!
One of our dogs was named Spartacus, but we called him āSparkyā and āSpark Plugā for nicknames. You could call him Spark PUG!
It's a French bulldog not a pug
Oops! I still love Sparky!
Francois
Did you buy him or adopt him? I wish people would stop buying this breed. They struggle so much with breathing issues, it's so sad..
Among other thingsā¦my first Frenchie didnāt even make it to 2 years old before dying of a seizure in his sleep. My family & I got another just before new years, from a breeder who had the parents tested and everything; we had to euthanize him at 14 weeks because he started having seizures, vomiting & diarrhea.

Itās been devastating to all of us & weāll never get another Frenchie again; itās just not fair to the animals.
Such a cutie! And many excellent suggestions here but figured I'd plug r/namenerds since they love that sort of thing
Rufus
I also instantly thought Rufus was a good fit.
Otis
Ollie
Perfect
Buster
Zuul
Definitely not Dana
Call him Chokie or Wheezy, because he will *never* be able to breath properly due to being so deliberately inbred. Edit: I agree that you shouldn't blame the dog, but you also shouldn't - under *any* circumstances - pay money for such an animal, as this will only encourage breeders to perpetuate the barbaric practice of breeding animals that suffer for every second of their entire lives.
Im glad to see a few people comment about this because their breed is so fucked up on so many levels
Otto
How about āI Canāt Breatheā. Sorry, not sorry. Just makes me so sad. I get it, they are a popular breed to show off that you are classy. Pathetic. Wish the dog the best. Please donāt delete this comment. I have only the best intentions.
Honestly hoping they didnāt get from a breeder and contributing to the demand to these breeds with deformed anatomies. Itās really sad.
Perfect name, of wheezy. Thank god our government wants a ban on all flatnosed dog breeds like frenchies. Nothing more than animal cruelty to breed m and buying them is just as fucked up.

Exactly. Breeding them should be banned, there's SO much suffering associated with it. They cannot breathe properly, how is this 'cute'?
I had to scroll way too long for this. Well maybe they got him from a pet shelter? At least I hope so. It makes me sad every time I see those dogs.
You and I both know they almost certainly didnāt get a 3-10k puppy from a shelter. Instead they chose to pay a breeder who by the very nature of the breed they sell, is not ethical.
Unhealthy, please take care of him but don't breed him
Oh go with, "I'm a walking medical emergency"
Oatmeal š«
I hope you adopted and did not shop, or else no name suggestions for you.
It def looks like they shopped ā¹ļø
Yeah, people buying pugs and frenchies make me sad, not Mademesmile
Of all the dog breeds, we're keeping the ones that struggle every day just to breathe going strong, really upsets me
Scrumpleton
Iggy!
how about "bred to deformity" ?
Breathn't since he seems struggling to breathe as intented
Frank
Dead by ten, life of hellish poor health, euthanised after bankruptcy via vet bills. Or my current favourite, bred for money laundering criminals. I guess none of those roll off the tongue so maybe just call the poor thing wheezy .

My 9 year old daughter said blueberry, blue for short.
Walter or Wally for short!
Maximus, or Max for short.
Sad, adopt donāt shop. These breeds have breathing issues and shouldnāt continue being bred switch shorter snouts. Really sad
