Woollman99 Posted August 30, 2005 Share Posted August 30, 2005 I would start and do an online search for puppy/dog names. There are many sites that help give direction and ideas. Naming your new pup should have some personal significance and/or originality. Also, be sure to keep the name simple, such as Grace, Emma, Rosie, Abby, Ellyn, Ruby, Jessie, etc. Write down the "liked" names on a sheet of paper. After compiling the list, sit down (alone or with family members) and narrow it to a single favorite choice. Have fun finding the right name and enjoy your new pup.

OUTDOORNUT Posted August 31, 2005 Share Posted August 31, 2005 We also struggled with naming our female Wiem. We ended up going back to her German roots..........and Berlyn is her name. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sparetime Posted August 31, 2005 Share Posted August 31, 2005 I just finished reading Richard Wolters book. He stated to make sure that the name doesn't sound similar to a command. His example was Beau sounded a lot like Whoa. After picking out the name, go to the screen door and yell it as loud as possible. If it isn't a name that can be screamed choose a different one.

catman71 Posted August 31, 2005 Share Posted August 31, 2005 I like to name them after my favorite things in life. Currently I have Gunz (I like both uses of the term) and Ammo. Years ago I had a yellow named Suds because I like beer. Perhaps a night with some heavy drinking will give you some insight? Good luck with your new pup!

leechlake Posted August 31, 2005 Share Posted August 31, 2005 I'm partial to one syllable names, saves breath over the lifetime of the dog. Also, all three of our dogs obviously have names but it seems that over time they get nicknames, our y lab, Brit, is generally called [PoorWordUsage]sie (okay, please don't tell anyone she's called [PoorWordUsage]sie) and answers to both names. Our Golden Jenny is called VV. Jake our other lab is Snake. They've never comlained. Have fun picking the name, I've found it's also hard with kids in on the decision process, I just pick the names and tell them, it avoids conflicts.

2 DA GILLS Posted August 31, 2005 Share Posted August 31, 2005 I agree about not having the kids involved. If I had let my son in on the naming of our pup, I would be stuck with a dog named Nemo. How fun would that be yelling Nemo, Nemo, Nemo? I can hear the jokes about Finding Nemo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leechlake Posted August 31, 2005 Share Posted August 31, 2005 kids ideas straight from my 6 year old son and four year old daughter, Shrek, Zurg, Buzz, KimPossible, Ariel, Barbie, Chloe. Myself I like Katie or Kate for a girl dog. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
