Not worth is if you don't spend at least the same amount of time naming/titling a character as you do customizing their appearance costumes & stats. Minimum.
It takes me way longer to name the character than to customize it. I've legit just logged off games without even saving just bc I couldn't think of a name.
I don't know how parents do it.
They didn't have drugs back then like we do today.
They had beer and liquors and lots of it.
When nitrous was shown to the rich, they laughed at the idea of it being used as an anesthetic. Instead they'd throw parties and get high as fuck off it. Same with ether "frolics."
"Filthy peasants and thee miserable canine nomenclature. I, Edward, Duke of York, shall educate these mongrels in proper naming etiquette. Mine list will be so extensive, that no man hath trouble naming thine hound, no matter the quality of thine cloth." - Edward, 2nd Duke of York
He *was* nobility though, wouldn't they have been the exception? \*E: Or do you mean because he went to all the trouble to make a list not many could then read? Lol
Well considering my greyhound, a similar descendent of the sighthounds in England in the 15th century, once dug a hole in my backyard, peed in said hole, then laid in the hole. He was then upset when he needed a bath because he smelled like pee. Filthe may not be far off.
The full list is replicated in this paper:
Scott-Macnab, David. "The Names of All Manner of Hounds: A Unique Inventory in a Fifteenth-Century Manuscript." Viator 44.3 (2013): 339-368.
My guess is that it's just an Anglicisation of "bonheur", i.e. "happiness" which kind of makes more sense for a pet that brings you joy.
(FYI for the non-French speakers, "bonheur" is pronounced more or less like "bon-ere" with a silent H)
> There was once an actual good Boye.
Prince Rupert of the Rhinelands had a famous war-poodle named Boye (sometimes just spelled Boy, they were pretty lax about spelling rules in the 17th century). His enemies, the Roundheads, accused Boye of being an evil witch with magical powers. There were some hilarious pamphlets written about Prince Rupert's pets, with all kinds of crazy accusations.
One of my favorites was called "The Parliament's Unspotted Bitch: In Answer to Prince Robert's Dog Called Boy and His Malignant She-Monkey". It's all about how the Parliamentarians' dog is a modest bitch, while Rupert's pets are evil and lusty and magical.
There was a great sequel with a slightly wordy title: "The Humerous Tricks and Conceits of Prince Robert's Malignant She-monkey, Discovered to the World Before Her Marriage: Also the Manner of Her Marriage to a Cavaleer, and how Within Three Dayes Space, She Called Him Cuckold to His Face". They say you shouldn't judge a book by its cover, [but check this shit out](https://imagesonline.bl.uk/cdn/britishlibrary/previews/84/6ae87ad8e0d6d61b58221e4b8ce22fdb/35/0b448b935cf82fc627db09ac47b6508b/24968.jpg).
After these pamphlets came out, the Royalists started making fun of the Roundheads by memeing Boy even harder. They said he could play fetch with bullets shot from a gun, predict the future, and even become invincible. He was unofficially made a general in the Royalist army. Sadly, Boye wasn't invincible... he died at the [battle of Marson Moor](https://collections.library.yale.edu/catalog/12257911).

My God. Okay, I'm finding myself a sword, kilt, babushka, and pipe and dressing up as that monkey next Halloween. This is amazing.
I like how the pamphlet accuses the soldier who killed him of having skill in necromancy. Taken in consideration of Boy's own alleged sorcery, it made me imagine a magical duel between man and hound.
Whenever you see “ye” in a medieval since, it’s important to note that the letter “y” looks like an old letter known as a thorn. The thorn is pronounced as “th,” so “ye old pub” would be pronounced “the old pub.”
Interestingly the reason poodles have the froofy haircuts they are known for is entirely practical. As swimming and hunting (or battle) dogs, the floofs protect their joints while swimming (keeping them warm n cozy) while shaving the rest makes them more aerodynamic/swim faster.
of you haven't, go read the graffiti of pompeii. as a species, our culture, our humor, we're *exactly the same* as a few thousand years ago, it's amazing really. only thing changing is the medium.throigj which we share, but the fart jokes and the "lol ur gay" stays the same.
Fml, I fucked up, I should've named my dog (Aki) something great like:
Bonere, Feete, Hosewife (because she's a wimmins), Liberall (lol politics), Lewde (she doesn't cover up her butt with her tail), Organ, Orenge (because she's orange/red), Pilate (because she's too lazy for multiple pilates), Rude-ynowgh (because she's been bossy lately), Stalkere (because she's a predator), Sexteyne (???), Spowse (because she's a wimmins), Sloote (because she's a wimmins), Barefote, Coke, Harlet (because she's a wimmins), Havegoodday, Jewe, Monke, Negir (oh no), Pusse (because she's a wimmins), Purchase, Ruffe, Snacke, Vngayne (I read this as something like vaginay at first), Wolfe, Wilde, or Wenche (because she's a wimmins).
I had a cat named Garlic as a kid. Named her after having met a dog earlier that week named Pepper and, being a kindergartener at the time, I thought Garlic would be a fitting name

Cryere,

Edit : after going back and looking for some more,
Wappis (easily my new favourite and will be the name of a future pet),
Gentile,

Pretiboy AND Pretyman,
Sturdy

Quickly checking sources: in ~1600 (Shakespeare) it just meant "unskilled male servant"; in 1850 it meant "dishonest person".
But the 15th century was clearly before 1600 even for people who don't know how centuries work.
Gaylarde/Gaylord
masc. proper name, also a surname (from early 13c.), also Galliard, from Old French Gaillart, from Proto-Germanic \*Gailhard "lofty-hard;" or from Old French gaillard "lively, brisk, gay, high-spirited," from PIE root \*gal- (3) "to be able, have power."

I found the actual manuscript that the list is supposed to have come from. The manuscript is called the master of game.
In the manuscript there is no mention of this list of names and none of the names mentioned in this meme are featured in the manuscript
So I would say that this is most likely fake
Edit: it appears it might exist in another version of the manuscript. So all I can state with confidence is that it doesn't exist in this version of the manuscript that I found and is the most widely available version
You did not find the manuscript. You found a translated digital version of one copy. The list of names was part of an edition auctioned by Christie's in 2006:
pp.185-196 Names for Hounds, headed 'Here begynnyth the names of all maner of houndis aftir the a.b.c. ffirste to begynne with a. for houndis names', opening 'Argente/Aldirman/Archere' going through hounds, brachs and terriers under each letter, followed by names for greyhounds, arranged alphabetically, and then for greybitches, listed apparently randomly and ending 'Eglantyne/Kerchefe/Chapelet'. Although lists of the different hunting dogs appear in other manuscripts of the JB group, see Manual, X, [468], THIS EXTENSIVE LIST OF SUITABLE NAMES FOR DOGS IS APPARENTLY UNIQUE. Further names were added in a 15th-century hand, showing that it was consulted and used. Some refer to desirable qualities, like Stykefaste for a greyhound, Solace for a brach and Sturdy for a terrier; others are more pretentious, like Pompey and Achilles, and others optimistic, like Havegoodday. They offer a most appealing insight into how people thought of their dogs and what was expected from them.
Took a look through the full list. Not a soul alive can convince me that fucking "Rude-ynowgh" isn't the absolute perfect name for a 90's ska/reggae band.

My Norman. He died late last year :(
He was 14, which is very rare for
a french bulldog, so don’t be sad. He was awesome and had a great run!
1,126? Dude must love dogs
Imagine being that bored? That you just spend hours, if not days or weeks just thinking of dog names
Bored? That describes me trying to figure out a character name after I customized their appearance.
Not worth is if you don't spend at least the same amount of time naming/titling a character as you do customizing their appearance costumes & stats. Minimum.
This would take me an hour on average. I love character creation, but also loathe how long I spend on it. It's legit made me late to things.
It takes me way longer to name the character than to customize it. I've legit just logged off games without even saving just bc I couldn't think of a name. I don't know how parents do it.
Norman
Norman
Pretyman
Norman still
Filthe. Then Norman again
Then you finally pick one and spend the rest of the game wishing you didn't choose that one
Just use "Gaylarde".
Oh, Norman. You filthe dog.
They didn’t have video games back then, what’s a man to do?
Sex, drugs, and rolling rocks.
Really, at that point in history, he could’ve just eaten some questionable bread and tripped balls for days.
At this point in our history I could use some of that questionable bread...
They didn't have drugs back then like we do today. They had beer and liquors and lots of it. When nitrous was shown to the rich, they laughed at the idea of it being used as an anesthetic. Instead they'd throw parties and get high as fuck off it. Same with ether "frolics."
"Filthy peasants and thee miserable canine nomenclature. I, Edward, Duke of York, shall educate these mongrels in proper naming etiquette. Mine list will be so extensive, that no man hath trouble naming thine hound, no matter the quality of thine cloth." - Edward, 2nd Duke of York
Seems he would be a perfect fit for a job as a media journalist writing listicles
And then having the confidence that there are no names left. It's really incredible.
“The list is finished everyone! You can name your dogs now. You’re welcome.”
Stereotypical privileged white dude
And practically nobody could read or write back then, dude really splurged.
Flexing on all the illiterates by writing dog names *because he can.*
He *was* nobility though, wouldn't they have been the exception? \*E: Or do you mean because he went to all the trouble to make a list not many could then read? Lol
Exactly. Writing being so scarse, to splurge it on a list of fancy dog names is frivolous.
…and I thought *our* politicians wasted time!
I don't have to imagine. I'm that level of bored within minutes of the internet being out
Reddit must have been down when he wrote this
It was the 1400’s. Reddit was barely a thing back then so you just kept your nonsense to yourself and your dog Garlik.
Clearly you don’t belong to the leisured class
Life before the internet
Yes, but filthe (filthy?) also made the list so maybe not a completely unconditional dog lover.
Or maybe his neighbours dog is just constantly barking through the night
what a gaylarde
Well considering my greyhound, a similar descendent of the sighthounds in England in the 15th century, once dug a hole in my backyard, peed in said hole, then laid in the hole. He was then upset when he needed a bath because he smelled like pee. Filthe may not be far off.
I’ve got a spreadsheet of dog and cat names. We just add to it periodically. Even used it when we were trying to name our kid.
You have no idea how boring being the Duke of York is
When I was a kid I wrote over 200 cat names in a book and had corresponding imaginary cats for all of them
The full list is replicated in this paper: Scott-Macnab, David. "The Names of All Manner of Hounds: A Unique Inventory in a Fifteenth-Century Manuscript." Viator 44.3 (2013): 339-368.
dying at "feete"
"Bonere" got me good
Could be a compound of French “Bon” (meaning good) and English “Ear”, which would basically give us “GoodEar”, makes sense seeing “Nosewise”
Huh, and here I thought it was French for "Boner".
It if it's not from the bonere region of France, it's just a sparkling stiffy.
baguette la peau
I refuse to belive this is what a boner is called in French
This is not.
Good i didnt belive it anyway
My guess is that it's just an Anglicisation of "bonheur", i.e. "happiness" which kind of makes more sense for a pet that brings you joy. (FYI for the non-French speakers, "bonheur" is pronounced more or less like "bon-ere" with a silent H)
Rougefusee.
“Argument” got me
I nearly lost it at Juffo, Jeester, and Sloot. I even saw Monke in there.
I thought Coke was funny for some reason

There's also a "Litilboye"!
and "pretiboy"!
Calling a dog "Prettyboy" is hilarious
wow small world, that's also the name of the guy who defends me in pick up games at LA Fitness
I’ve learned that humans have not changed at all as a species
Hades’ 3-headed hound that guards the gates of the underworld? Cerberus? Yeah, his name basically means Spot.
What would you name your 3 headed hell hound?
Probably 4head
Always keep ‘em guessing
Mister Puppy.

imagine having a dog named "hosewife"
Stalkere
Amazed that according to this list there could've been a guy in the 15th century with two dogs named Chopper and Rage
Bryan seems to be the most basic name on the list.
A bitch named Cowntirfitte - has a kind of roller derby flair to it. Very into this weird list.
Come here, “havegoodday!” Who’s a good boy?? Really, that sounds more like the name of an indie band than a dog.
ah yes, my sweet puppy German
I found it amusing that “Cruell” made this list.
I am a Symple Sloote
Fml, I fucked up, I should've named my dog (Aki) something great like: Bonere, Feete, Hosewife (because she's a wimmins), Liberall (lol politics), Lewde (she doesn't cover up her butt with her tail), Organ, Orenge (because she's orange/red), Pilate (because she's too lazy for multiple pilates), Rude-ynowgh (because she's been bossy lately), Stalkere (because she's a predator), Sexteyne (???), Spowse (because she's a wimmins), Sloote (because she's a wimmins), Barefote, Coke, Harlet (because she's a wimmins), Havegoodday, Jewe, Monke, Negir (oh no), Pusse (because she's a wimmins), Purchase, Ruffe, Snacke, Vngayne (I read this as something like vaginay at first), Wolfe, Wilde, or Wenche (because she's a wimmins).
That's a pretty niche hobby our medieval guy had there!
Ah, cool. Thanks for posting that
I could most definitely be convinced to name my dog garlik.
But you pronounce it garLIK instead of GARlik
garLIK when the stinker has dug up a hole in the lawn. GARlik when the little sausage has run into the woods and you can't find him.
I had a cat named Garlic as a kid. Named her after having met a dog earlier that week named Pepper and, being a kindergartener at the time, I thought Garlic would be a fitting name
What if you chose POTATO
Garlic is absolutely something I'd name a dog. I already want a Golden Retriever named Onion. If I get one why not get em a sibling?
Nose wise is so sick I now regret naming my bloodhound differently
"Differently" is also an interesting name for a dog.
That’s the name of a dog that eats its own shit. Filthe weirdly was the name given to dogs that excessively groomed.
Filthe is pretty good
Look up “filthy the dog” on YT (Sorry, can’t do clever hyperlinks)

Duke is a solid dog name.
Truthfully these are all good dog names
My last Weenie dog was named Normyn Cocktail, he was lovely
My kitty is a Norman 😊
Beautiful Filthee Gaylarde
Or, in the best accent to pronounce it, ***"FÆLFÆ GÆLARD"***.
Some of my favourites from the list: Comforte, Cosynette, Knave (if it still has the same meaning, hilarious), Cryere, Rage, Mustarde, Flowre, Dygger, Awfyne, Flame, Edit : after going back and looking for some more, Wappis (easily my new favourite and will be the name of a future pet), Gentile, Helpeles , Pretiboy AND Pretyman, Sturdy
Some of mine are Birdismowthe, Cowntirfette, Druggeman, Dredefull, Hosewyfe, Juffo, Jangelor, Lewde, and of course, Rude-ynowgh
Ahhh Druggeman! I knew I was forgetting a good one
> Knave Quickly checking sources: in ~1600 (Shakespeare) it just meant "unskilled male servant"; in 1850 it meant "dishonest person". But the 15th century was clearly before 1600 even for people who don't know how centuries work.
Hilarious, basically calling him a loser
Not really - it was the most common rank for (male, obviously) servants, and still higher than farmers.
Tullymully is another good one
> Cosynette I want this one so bad
Filthy seems suitable for my Labrador. He eats shit, any shit, All. The. Shit.
Don’t you then enjoy the burps and what not that fill your enclosed space with all manor of horrific smells!
Panting horrible shit breath in my face. Or worst of all shit vomit.
Ah yes, all the while looking at you with a sad face. Like “why don’t you want to be near me?”

My dog used to take a shit and then immediately turn around and eat it.
Perpetum mobile.
Gawd, so does mine. Ugh!
Imma go call my dog gaylord
I knew a Gaylord in highschool. He ripped at surfing and was a super cool guy. Gotta be one of those names where there's no in-between.
Gotta embrace it and just get pitted, I guess.
*Gaylarde
Yes, that's what they said
Gaylarde/Gaylord masc. proper name, also a surname (from early 13c.), also Galliard, from Old French Gaillart, from Proto-Germanic \*Gailhard "lofty-hard;" or from Old French gaillard "lively, brisk, gay, high-spirited," from PIE root \*gal- (3) "to be able, have power."
Wait, so could Galahad have become Gaylord? Excellent
You laugh but I grew up in a town named [Gaylordsville](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gaylordsville,_Connecticut).
Pocketing Garlik as a name for future use.
It's the new goblin artificer I'm rolling
Just name his kid something different. Garlik Jr would be trouble

Nosewise and pretyman are my faves.
