These are just some of the 4016 names given to the 13,730 dogs recorded on the Dunedin City Council's dog register.
Most popular on the register is Max, with 179 dogs sharing that name, followed by Jess (173), Sam (140), Jack (136) and Jake (124).
One-off names, such as McGinty of Blue Gum and Roger Rico Rokocoko, accounted for more than half of all dog names, with 2650.
The family of Roger Rico Rokocoko said the 6-year-old purebred bulldog was named after a late family pet called Roger, with the names Rico and Rokocoko for All Blacks wingers.
[comment caption=What's the name of your four-legged friend?] While owners often show great originality in naming their prize pooch, 12 people listed their canine companion as "unknown".
If those owners found the task of naming their dog too difficult, spare a thought for the team at SPCA Otago, who name more than 1000 animals every year.
"It can get quite difficult.
"That is why we have a system in place," said SPCA executive officer Phil Soper.
The SPCA staff, with the help of dictionaries and baby name books, name the animals after a different letter of the alphabet, with all dog names in August beginning with B.
The cycle begins from the start of the financial year and continues for a two-year period, with difficult letters such as Qs and Xs added to other months.
"We used to name the odd dog or cat with some un-PC names like Benson and Hedges, but we don't tend to do that now."
A spokesman for the council confirmed there were no rules regarding what names could be registered, which may explain the names Sambo (5), Satan (1), Rooter (1), and Munter (1).
If you are stuck for a dog's name, having a drink may help the creative process, with some owners opting to call their dogs Speight's (6), Jack Daniel (1), Whisky (2) and Budweiser.
