Here Purkoy, here dog.

Here is a glance at some of the names medieval people gave their pets, at least according to this site. Purkoy was a dog named by Anne Boleyn, which may have contributed to her later troubles. No one could prove treason, but it was clear she named the dog.

I think it would be fun to have a revival of medieval names for pets. I'd love to see a Jakke, a Parceval, or a Garland. My next dog?
