Thinking of naming one dog Olive, what might pair well? Looking for Milo and Otis vibes.

Olive and Pickle sound like crude bathroom signs.

You could use Marti as a nickname.

Bonus points if the dog is teeny. Mar-teeny

Martini.

I was going to say Yiu, as in "Olive you" (I love you), but "you" comes up way to much in regular language, would confuse the poor dog.

Perfect! A lot of these work together but only work as a pair. This one stands alone as well.

Martini. Marti for short, which has the benefit of being ungendered.

You could do Olive and Ollie for that sweet alliteration.

Alternatively, Olive and Chives is pretty good too.

[โ€“] coaxil@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago

Clearly Gerald is name for your other dog!

Thyme or Oregano. Can't go wrong with traditional Greek flavours?

Er?

That way you could have Olive & er. And if you get a third one you could call it John.

(Their nicknames could also be "Last", "Week", & "Tonight":-P)

Eya Newton John.

Oil? Feta? Pita?

If you're looking for Milo and Otis vibes, then you're looking for Popeye.
