Monkey Island Dog Names in Pop Culture

Featured Famous Dog with a Monkey Island Name

Spiffy

Spiffy, a dog who loved spending time at the Scrumm Bar, was grey and white in color. He held a bone in his mouth and moved his eyes in a way that suggested he was perpetually angry, but he wasn't. He was actually quite talkative with other customers. Of course, this was the way he was featured in the special edition, a remake of the game that was released in July of 2009.

The original Spiffy was actually a bit of a Snoopy rip-off. He was all white, with black ears, and wide eyes. He even looked like he was smiling all the time. Players had to speak to him in "dog" language by saying things like "Woof," or "A-roof." Depending on what you said, he's either go on a giant tangent with minor words in English, or he'd dismiss you with a single bark.

Originally, there was going to be a closeup of Spiffy the dog in the Scrumm Bar, but it was actually removed by LucasArts. There just wasn't enough space. Remember, this was way back in the day, circa 1990. In the remake, when Spiffy is grey, he is transformed from this sweet-looking dog to a much moodier one, but he still very much does the same thing. You speak to him, and depending on what you say, he will either elaborate, or dismiss you.

But the odd thing is that although he looks more ferocious, he's still a small-sized dog. He's scruffy haired and short, very much a lap dog. And no one can take a lap dog that seriously, right? So, despite his intense stare, he's still just an adorable dog. One that serves the purpose of meeting a mission requirement, and of also engaging with the other bar customers. A fun fact about Spiffy that most people don't know, however, is that he wasn't voiced by a dog.

Oh no, all those howls and barks were a product of Roger Jackson's lovely voice. This Atlanta, Georgia native has done plenty of voices over the years, including Mojo Jojo, from The Powerpuff Girls, Baby #1 and Evil Voice from Regular Show, Ghostface from Scream 1 through 4, Junner from The Chronicles of Riddick: Dark Fury, Reggie and Thunder from The Wild Thornberrys Movie, and the Martian Translator Device in Tim Burton's Mars Attacks. And that's just a few of the voices! He's been in everything from Fallout 4 to Minecraft: Story Move, and even Dishonored.

Monkey Island Dog Name Considerations

When naming their dogs, people tend to think about breed, gender, age, size, appearance, and even mundane things like which toy is the dog's favorite. This helps them get a full-scope picture of who the dog is, so the name matches.

The thing is, although this is a very good method of naming a dog, it involves already having the dog. So, unless you're okay with having the dog for a week or two before naming them, you're better off writing out a list of potential names. Upon seeing the dog and getting a sense for them, you can quickly select from a list of pre-approved names.

If this is your approach to naming your dog, then you're already in a good position. It means you can look up your favorite movies, shows, books, and games, such as The Secret of Monkey Island, and find names that bring up memories or feelings you had long since forgotten. And don't feel bad – it's not the easy way out. If anything, it's just a guarantee that you will select a name with personalized meaning. The name will reflect a simpler time, a certain event, or even a special person. So, what are you waiting for? Check out these names!
