New Puppy!

Decided it was time to get a dog again (2 years since we had a dog, and before that I've had a dog all my life!)

Here she is, 5 weeks old, we collect her in 3 weeks (person holding the puppy is my mum lol)

BUT...... she (the puppy) is currently nameless!

So, can you think of a decent name - something original, something you wont feel a pillock shouting out in the park, something with a bit of meaning / relevence

Ebony and Sooty have already been suggested, and rejected, so not them two!

Xavier, Xerxes, Kosmo, Orion

something a little different to the norm, but i wouldn't mind shouting...

adds a bit more class than 'Rover' or 'Jess'

Awwwwwwwww....!

I so want a puppy as well :'( It's best to spend some time with the puppy and think of a name based on one of its traits maybe. Sure, puppies being what they are...would typically get names lazy, goofy, sleepy or some such following this method...but at least it wouldn't be something random.

The hardest part is dealing with the loss of the loved one (pet or otherwise) and am not so sure my Mom is too keen on having a new puppy in the house. I guess I'll have to bring it up again sometime :)

Timber! :P
When I was very young, the dog we had was called Sapphire. You could try other gem stones as names.

Awwww I want one!

As Mike suggested see how the dog is then name her.

One of my friends labradors is called Tumble, because as a puppy he had trouble staying on four legs in there garden and usually ended up tumbling over and ending up in a heap of dog.

That's pretty much why it's nearly a 2 year gap between us having a dog tbh bsodmike

Still, on to new beginnings - and its already having a positive effect - making us sort out the house and try to make it puppy proof! (Goes go B&Q to get some conduit for geek cables :p )

Yea, I know the feeling too...but having a new puppy around is also great I guess. I was about to suggest 'puppy' proofing the place as well...congrats, you're very lucky!!! :D :D

Call him dog:)

Fanny. It's a girls name, ends in "y", sounds alright when you shout it at the top of your voice in public.

The missus and I are thinking about getting a puppy at the moment. I had a Chow/Alsation cross that passed away 12 years ago, and it's taken me this long to even consider taking in a new doggy.

Something mythological maybe? Thor? Osris? Horus? Zues etc. Something a bit different :D

Achilles


then you can shout "Achilles, heel!"


I'll get my coat!

That made me laugh :D

I would name it something like Espresso if it has a lot of energy

I'm a fan of Licorice though :)

Cyril.

Andrex :D

My fave so far, my idea lol, is BeBe, others in the ranking (family suggestions) include Betsy, Gemma and Sophie!!

TakTak - I hear you on the more unusual tip - I wanted something like that, however, my dad will probably forget it or say something similar but completely inappropriate lol.

Based on the colour (and she has a small bit of white on one foot) I was keen on Guinness.

My friend has a dog named "black b******" as they started calling it that when it got in the way, and the name stuck ever after.

However, shouting that across the neighborhood might cause some problems...

My Dad named one of his black cats BB: Black B****. She lives to that name very well!

Ruby/Rooby. Because it's a name your mum will like and, after all, it's mum's dog too ;)

I would call the puppy 'Hexy'. After our fav website / forum!

Ooooo bit risky. Might sound like 'Sexy' when you're calling her. Enter Mr Plod Bestiality Squad.

Call it Defur. As in Defur dog... :$

I face that problem daily with my dog, Fisty.

One of my teachers at school had a cat called Gaylord (imagine a slightly posh sounding woman calling that at the top of their voice! :D), apparently had no trouble with it.


You don't want normal names, but you don't really want anything too out of the ordinary/fancy, lest people think you're off your rocker.

If you want to go on the black coat theme, try thinking of black things that you like (I bear no responsibility if you call it PS3 though)

That's why I wanted to call it Guinness, but it doesn't sound that girly does it!

Gemma is looking quite likely atm!!!

Puppies? Don't talk to me about puppies! So far, in it's short life, our puppy has destroyed the cables for the following:

the pedal box for my Logitech FF Pro wheel
the USB plug off my Sidewinder FF2 joystick
and also my Zalman headphones.

I was toying with the idea of running a high voltage cable under my desk to see if he'd like to chew that too but I was persuaded that it would be a bad idea.

The biggest problem is that he's just so cute and cuddly. It's impossible to stay cross with him for long.

Hexus

Make it short, punchy and easy to wail or whisper.

Ignore her colour.... though she is stunning :) because there are hundreds or thousands caleld Goldy/Patch etc after their appearance.

Are there any Aunts in the family you'd like to offend ;)?

I think she looks like a Suzy or a Bonnie or a Misha :)

yeah....Misha (or Meesha) She looks just like a Meesha :)
