Let's be thankfu;l that in this case inb the English languagem, the g was not silent.
Dilldog, was not dilldough.
If a kid had caught it, and said, "You want a dilldough?" you could have responded cooly, I already *have* one of *those*.
Woulda made great supper time fodder, probably get you fired.
A teacher in one of my grad classes was passing out treats to her eighth graders, she called out, optimistically, "Does anyone else want a Blow Job?" She meant, of course, Blow POP. True Story.

Aww, To Kill a Mockingbird is one of my favorite books of all time. Scout is such a great character name. I think for Dill, I would go for the more flamboyant looking dog to fit the Capote style. By the way, I clicked onto your banner and will be adding you to my favorites.

An old teacher acquaintance found some damp and mouldy text books in the back of her cupboard. Imagine the uproar when she said to the class �The next person to speak out of term will stay behind at break to help me move some dirty books�
Dill is a great name for a dog. Years back there was a UK Children's tv programme where the characters (animals) were named herbs. Dill was the dog - and was just as you describe.
