 Topic: Please help me name my puppy!
Posted: 24 November 2010 at 8:40pm |
|
My husband just bought me a 2-wk old puppy !!! I'm slightly freaked out because it was a snap decision after I was cuddling the puppy he bought for his family...
Anyway I got the runt of the litter. Any advice is welcome... But most of all I need help to name him!
He is a staff-lab cross and sort of a rusty-brown colour. Will post a pic soon...
I just have no idea re: names...
My cat is called "Hobbes" after the Calvin and Hobbes cartoon.

You could call him Cal as Calvin is a bit long imo and then you will be carrying the theme through. I take ages to name my animals I have to find the right name. Our cats are Kiera and Danica so not the usual pet names!

LilNic it will be funny calling a Staffi-Lab mini or Teeny coz they're quite big solid dogs when they're adults!!
Right now he looks more like Scrappy-Doo than Scooby-Doo hahah

hehe I have a dog same colour - Rusty, and a corgi called tag because he likes to tag people and my chihuahua is monkey but I didn't name her. Our cats are all named after our past cats... So Toby the 3rd, Dexter the 2nd... Except Lola (Boy) and Spike (Girl) (were told the opp genders for those 2)
What about Pip
Although I quite like Muse

My favourite dog name is Flash but my DH didn't like it so it's my cocker spaniel's middle name

Charlie, Remy...
DH and I decided we should have named our puppy Whatnot - whenever we take her for a walk I call out to DH "have you got keys, and the lead, and whatnot?" We got her in July, and kept the name the SPCA had given her - Flake.

DH desperately wanted to call our dog Thor - I managed to talk him out of that one.
I like human names on pets - the geekier or quirkier the better, such as:
Otis
Arthur
Boris
George
Harold
etc....

Nicandtyler.... I also like the name Benson It is my Boxers name.
I had a staffy x shar pei x bullmastiff called Bailey (he was the colour of baileys) and a Staffy x Border Collie named Flynn (he was the same colour as this wee un-named pup).
I really like the name Scout for this pup.
I have used every pet name under the sun.... used to breed guinea pigs and have had hundreds throughout the years and each one has had a different name!! Trying to think up some of the cool boy names we've used over the years....
