female name?

[jegerjack]

I am getting a female lab and I cannot think of a name to call her in the field. MY wife wants Daisy or Dixie. I am supposed to come up with a couple. I have always been told to come up[ with a single syllable name for a dog. Anyone have a good name they have heard or used. My males name is Jack (that is were I got jegerjack)

Perhaps something original like "Dog".

Or take a page from the old KQ morning show and go with b - i - c - h.

You could also play off of the campaign antics of a certain female DFL legislator from Minneapolis who was caught fetching other peoples property and call her "Con (Kahn)"

Sammy, Coco, Mona, Rye, Rosie, Tara, Ariel, Cookie

People think Im insane

Mike

How about Diane

One or two syllables really doesn't matter. They hear your voice and the first syllable and they know who you're talking to. My female is Mandy. I hunt with a guy who has a Maggie and he calls her Mags in the field.

[Gissert]

My female lab is Nellie.

I always have the same problem, not knowing what to name the dog.
Here is how I do it, I get the dog and watch him/her for a few weeks then give it a name to match his personality.
I named my last dog Woody because everytime he went out to take a dump he got a woody.
There were other names in the beginning that I cannot post here, But I am sure you know what I mean....

When I got my female lab, 9 years ago, she was 6 weeks old and named "Lady." I spose there are people who don't mind that name, but I hated it.

She's black, I named her Dale. There is a big #3 on her dog house.

How about Jack and Jill?

[Hossienda]

Named my lab Amazing Grace. She is the smartest dog I have ever had.

Our lab is named Libby- I was searching for dog names and it just seemed to fit.

Don't know if this will work. If it don't just copy and paste it to your browser. Many many dog names here.

I like names that have something to do with other things I like, my females name is Kenai, after the Kenai river in Alaska. My buddies dogs name is Pike, he acts like one too. I have a friend that named thier Irish setter Dublin for obvious reasons. What else do you like to do?

Like movies? Brando

Fishing? Loomis

Home Improvements? Makita

Nascar? Hemmi

Just some ideas, take something you enjoy and then come up with something that fits your personality and your hobbies.

My next dogs name is either Gretzky, or Freely, for Ace Freely the lead guitarist from KISS. Rock on!!!

How about Kama.It means wished for.

[BBL Resident]

You first have to come up with a big long important name to register your dog with the AKA. And then make sure you can get a hunting name out of it.
I.e. I name my dog "Winchester Johnathan Thomas the 1st" (after the first gun I bought my oldest son and then used each sons name in the dogs official name)
We call him Chester!
Have fun!

My buddie named his dog DEEOGEE, if you say it really slow it's funny.

My yellow lab is named Molly.....she looked like a Molly when we picked her up.
I've also got a sweetheart of an 11y/o golden retriever named Chia ......the kids named her when she was a liitle ball of fur and they thought she looked like a Chia pet, the little clay figures that are covered with green plants.....now she's about 50 lbs overwieght and looks like a BIG Chia pet

My personal favorite, that I'll use again some day for another dog (after I stop missing her so much) was a Brittany I had a few years back that I had to put down because she had bitten too many people (one of the hardest things I've ever done!) and was a one man dog that was VERY protective of my wife and kids, when she bit a neighbor kid that startled her when she was sleeping on the front step, I had no choice, anyways, her name was Wingo....I called her Wingnut.
I've always thaought that was a great name for a bird dog.

Good luck finding a name.

If it was a pointing dog, I'd have to go with Gissert's "Nellie". That way, when she locks up on a bird, you could say "Whoa, Nellie!"

The name puts a mental picture of Little House on the Prairie in my mind though. HAH!

I was thinking Helga
