They named him Fred after Fred Mertz.
'The Bull Fight Dance' from season four of "I Love Lucy."
Yes it is! It is so cute and will be great when he gets older. It's also fun to say. Another pointer for naming him ricky is because their are many famous rickys like Ricky Racardo from I Love Lucy!
Little Ricky named his dog Fred which he got after the family moved to a country home in Connecticut in 1957 The OP is both correct and incorrect.... The dogs name IS Fred - as LittleRicky always "names [his] pets after the people [he] loves". And the episode (#165 :: "Little Ricky Gets a Dog") did air in 1957. *BUT* he did not get him after they moved to their country home. We know this because, if you remember, there was an issue with the lease on their apartment (which said "no pets!). Although Fred/Ethel had been lenient and overlooked all the other pets Little Ricky had acquired (turtles, fish, a frog, & birds).... a grumpy new tenant makes keeping the noisy new puppy, a big problem. After Fred orders them to get rid of the puppy, Lucy tries to hide him... but is eventually discovered. In the end, Fred decides he'd "rather live with a little dog, than a big grouch!" Interesting fact.. This episode takes place only a few episodes before they move to the country, and is the first in which Lucy mentions moving out there.
