Introduction
An American political thriller web television series that was created by Beau Willimon, House of Cards was adapted from the 1990 BBC miniseries with the same name, that was based on the novel (also with the same name) by Michael Dobbs. The first season included 13 episodes and was released on February 1, 2013 on Netflix. The show is set in Washington DC and tells the story of Congressman Frank Underwood, who at the beginning of the series, is a congressman from South Carolina. When he is not offered the appointment as the Secretary of State, he devises a complicated plan to achieve power, with the help of his wife, Claire. The sixth and final season of the show is expected to be released in late 2018.
If you are a fan of House of Cards, the series may be the perfect place to turn when looking for a name for your canine companion. With a name from House of Cards, each time you call for your pooch, you will be reminded of the series and how much you have enjoyed it.
House of Cards Dog Names in Pop Culture
Dogs with House of Cards names can be found throughout pop culture. Take the name Doug. Doug Stamper is Francis Underwood’s aid in House of Cards and Doug is also the name of a very special dog. Doug the Pug is a dog who resides in Nashville, Tennessee who has gained a huge following in social media, earning the status of “celebrity dog”. Doug moved to Nashville as a puppy when his owner, Leslie Mosier, bought him from a breeder in Ohio in 2012. Doug’s Facebook page has over 6 million likes and over 10 billion Facebook video views and his Instagram account has over 3 million followers. The Pug has appeared in music videos with Katy Perry and Fall Out Boy, and his photo has appeared on different shows. Doug and his owner are also New York Times best sellers for their book Doug the Pug: The King of Pop Culture. After his book was released, Doug went on an international book tour that included visits to Australia and England. Merchandise is also available that includes calendars and Doug the Pug apparel. As of 2017, Doug has a net worth of over $500,000.
Another special pup with a House of Cards name is Freddy, a well-known Great Dane. You may remember the character of Freddy Hayes, who owned the BBQ restaurant that Frank Underwood would frequently visit early in the series. Freddy the Great Dane is the World’s Biggest Dog, who stands at 7 feet 6 inches when on his hind legs. His owner, Claire Stoneman, who is from Essex, is devoted to him as well as to his sister, named Fleur. Ms. Stoneman stated that the dogs are like children to her and she shares her king-sized bed with her large pooch. Like his size, Freddy’s food costs are large; a favorite treat for the Great Dane is a whole roast chicken. He also enjoys peanut butter toast. As a puppy, Freddy was a bit destructive, having demolished 23 sofas until he learned that sitting on them was preferable. Ms. Stoneman gets up early to take Freddy on a daily 40 minute walk, hoping to avoid other dogs who might be rattled by her canine companion, as she admits that if Freddy wanted to run after another dog, at 5 feet 4 inches herself, she would not be able to stop him.
House of Cards Dog Name Considerations
It can be hard to know where to start when trying to choose a name for your new canine companion. After all, you want it to be a name that fits your dog while also having some meaning to you. One way to go about finding name ideas for your pooch is to look at some of your favorite forms of entertainment. If you are a fan of the Netflix series House of Cards, for example, this may be a great place to turn for a name that is just right for your pup.
You can name your pup for the series creator, Beau Willimon for example. If you love the underhandedness of the Underwoods, you can choose their character names or the names of those who play the roles. You can even consider the location where the series takes place and consider the name Washington. There are many possibilities for you to consider, each of which will bring the show that you enjoy to mind every time you call the name of your pup.
There is no need to struggle when finding just the right name for your pup; instead, turn to one of your favorite television shows for inspiration!
