 Origins of Names in H.P.   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-27)
Flitwick is the name of a village in Bedfordshire.
His name is formed (as several H.P. character's names are, for example Wormtail) in the same way as some of the demons from C.S Lewis' 'The Screwtape Letters', as a composite of two short words that both have unpleasant connotations.
The name is also appropriate because owls only deliver their message to the intended recipient, and one of the meanings of 'hermetic' is 'secret' or 'hidden'.

However the "call name" of Cap, Corrie, and Joe are embodied in their kennel names and are the traditional short Border Collie appellations, whereas the call name of an obedience or show dog may be entirely different from its registered name.
