Jake, as in shakey jake.

Ricken for Fast Eddie Rickenbacker

My Beagle is Named Aileron, old boy is going on 15 years!:D
|
You could call him "Beacon" and if he's ever neutered, you could call him "NDB"
for "Non-Directional Beacon," meaning he'll quit chasing the female dogs. :eek: Of course, that is Old School, so maybe you could just call him "EFIS." |
My cattle dog is named Rascal for similar reasons. The black lab is Ziggy, since he couldn't walk straight without getting distracted.
For aero names, Sonic, Cirrus (for the clouds, not the plane), Aero, Ow son of a b*%ch can't believe I drilled my finger again, Gyro (is this obsolete with EFIS now?), Looper, Immelmann, Manfred. Give it time, sometimes it just hits you. Took us about a week for Rascal. One day I just said "What are we gonna name this little rascal", my wife smiled, and that was is. |
Bernoulli
This is Bernoulli.

I read somewhere that dogs respond best to two syllable names. How about Hoover, as in Bob Hoover?
|
The first time we fed him he sucked up the food like a vacuum and I said how about Hoover? The family just kinda went.... eh. I thought it was good and it's also aviation related. Maybe I'll talk them into it. I remember seeing Bob Hoover at an airshow fly in his twin engine when I was a kid. It was awesome!

Mayday
Banzai Kate Zeke Betty Zero Mig Mossie but again, imagine walking out your hangar door & calling out 'MAYDAY, MAYDAY... where are you!' |
|
Name for pet
I worked at an airport years ago where the 'airport cat' was named Stearman.
I also have a nephew, an aeronautical engineer with a cat named Sabre, like the old F-100 fighter. Either name would work for a dog... Then there is, Radar, Rocket, Vector, Bingo... as in low on fuel Ace. |
Just left the airport where a friend has a retriever named Buzz.
|
Names
Maybe I missed it but what about...
Orvile Wilbur G-load (big dog leaves big loads) Dimples Vector |
Previously mentioned by others, but two of ours are named Cleco and Rivet. The third was adopted already named Bella, which I suppose I could fib and say it is a feminine version of bellcrank.
|
Our dearly departed long haired dachshund was named RADAR.....
My wife wanted a cute aviation name for her cat, I thought assho... was more appropriate, but that's another story ;) |
Runway
Piper Van Airspeed Rudder Tow Bar Hey dog |
I like "Boogie".
|
Wingman
Bevan |
I've thought that a good dog name would be
"Entropy" But only if you know what that is, because you'll surely have to explain it to someone. Dave |
Can't believe no one has gone for this yet
Pilot |
One of my neighbors named his two cats Curtis & Robin. He had a legitimate reason to do so at the time.
Charlie |
Named her Delta Oscar Golf and we call her "Delta"
![]() We want another one so her name will be Lima Alpha Bravo and call her "Lima" |
pets names
We have two cats at our local airport DZJ named rudder and aileron.
|
I even tried out Vlad. It might end up as a middle name.:)
|
Dog name
My next dog will be named "Gimbal"....
|
The Dog Name
RV, of course!
|
my buddies black lab is named rudder. not from pilot heritage but from dan being a boat captain. ;)

How about ...
"Tarmac" .....
|
I once heard about a three legged airport dog named "Clear Prop!"
|
How about Winglet?
|
Our cats are both girls and are Vega and Duchess.
|
A friends dog is named "Kilo Niner" (Canine). Pretty clever
|
Some more ideas---
If you feel you over-paid for the pup, you could name him Garmin.
If you over-paid _and_ he turns out to be rather useless, then Xavion might be a fit. Or: Titan, Lycosaur, Subie, Stroker, Mattituck - pick your engine meme :cool: -Stormy |
Slipstream
|
How about Pitot
|
I have an English Bulldog named "Torque". I picked his name while building, after picking up a torque wrench.

Runway
This is Runway, or Runner, or Rupert....depending on the day.
He is a purebread Mileormore. (He's related to every dog for about a mile or more) ![]() |
