akmommy Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 We have a puppy on reserve (male) and were trying to come up with names. What is your dogs name? I would love to hear how you came up with it as well. Here is our little guy: The older dogs name is Buck after the the dog in Call of the Wild. My oldest had just finished reading it and thought the new puppy (now 10years old) looked like a Buck. The younger dog just looked like a Jake. We adopted him from the city shelter at 5 months old and they were calling him peanut. My dd had already picked out a few names and Jake was the one that just seemed to fit him best.

AK_Mom4 Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 Yukon and Kobuk (both girls) Named because those are two very large rivers here known for regularly flooding everything each spring. The pups at the time were working on getting housebroken. :D DH wanted Alaskan names for them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeacefulChaos Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 Aw, he's cute!! :) Our first dog after we got married, we named Saydie Rose. I can't remember why. We gave her to an elderly couple a couple of years ago, because she spent her days hiding under the couch (she's a yorkie). :lol: Our labradoodle is named Kida. We thought and thought about a name for her. The kids named her - we had thought about Koinu (which DS thinks is puppy in Japanese) but the kids were on an Atlantis kick (the Disney movie) and we ended up with Kida. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mama2cntrykids Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 We have two dogs. Only one is a male though. His name is Buddy (he's a Cocker Spaniel and very nice). Our female is a Rottweiler and her name is Ruby. I know you're looking for boy names, but I had to mention her too:tongue_smilie:. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WillametteMom Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 (edited) Our boy (Border Collie x Golden Retriever) is Baxter. We often call him Baxi. Our girl (Rough Collie x Australian Shelpherd) is Molly. When we adopted Baxter, that was his name and it suits him so we kept it. Molly didn't come with a name, but she just *looks* like a Molly so that's what we named her. We enjoy calling her Molly-the-Collie. :) The names Baxi and Molly flow well together too.

*Lulu* Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 Cute pic! With both of our dogs we just went through the alphabet throwing out a name for each letter. We knew when we had the right one. The other animals have either come pre-named or have been named by the child responsible for them. (And let me tell you, those names are always eye rollers!)

Diann Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 Our Doberman's name is Paul. The breeder had already named him by the time we got him at 8 months old. She would have a theme for each litter, and the theme for Paul's litter was "The Beatles". He was, obviously, named after Paul McCartney because he was the sweetest of the bunch. I have to agree, our Paul is incredibly sweet. BTW, your new puppy is adorable! Diann Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dirty ethel rackham Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 What a cutie! Ours is "Bear." It was his name when we were fostering him. When we finally adopted him, we tried calling him Wookie (we're big Star Wars nerds here), but it just didn't catch on. I imagine he looked like a Teddy Bear when he was a little pup. Most people say it fits him as he is a shaggy labradoodle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rjmakmom Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 We have 2 puggles. Finn M'Coul the Wonder Puggle- named after the Irish Giant Fin M'Coul. We thought it would be cute to name a little dog after a giant...then the dog kept growing. He is now 45lbs and the biggest puggle anyone had ever seen. Go figure. 3 years ago we fostered/adopted a female puggle whose name was Petunia (yuck). We quickly changed it to Oonagh (the name of Finn M'Coul's wife)once the adoption was final. I like pairs, though. We have also had Sampson and Delilah (labs), Archibald Anslow ( a jug) , and Hugo the Basset Hound Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
5knights3maidens Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 Our dog is "Buddy". It fits perfectly. He is a buddy to the kids; always with them when they are outside.

scrappyhappymama Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 My husband's dog when we met was Jester. He was an ornery wire-haired terrier mix and his name fit him perfectly. We had him for the first 10 years of our marriage. Our first dog together was a beautiful red-haired cocker, lab mix who looked just like Lady from Lady and the Tramp. She was named Sasha, since my husband is a Russophile. We knew it was actually a male Russian name, but it sounds feminine to our ears and fit her perfectly. Our latest dog is another terrier mix and as a puppy looked a lot like a black bear cub. We knew we wanted another Russian name, so we finally setlled on Misha, after the bear mascot from the Moscow olympics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CAMom Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 We have two bassets. We didn't name them because we adopted them from another family and they are 4 and 6. But, the male's name is Willerbee and the female's name is Buttercup.:) When we were naming a golden retriever puppy, I wanted to name him Edison or Einstein and hope that he would live up to the genius!:lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tutor Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 Our dog who just passed was named Drogo (patron saint of coffee houses and father to Bilbo). Our current dog is Huey. He was a stray, and I started calling him Uncle Elizabeth (a reference to the movie I Remember Mama) because he's a little, fluffy shi tzu and I kept goofing and calling him "her". :001_smile: Dh shortened that to UE but ds8 thought he was saying Huey. He told my sister the dog's name was Huey and she bought him a name tag with Huey on it for Christmas, so now that's his name. We never so anything simply around here. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maria from IN Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 Someone dumped a dog at my (then) boyfriend's house about 5 years ago--in the freezing rain--and she cowered under a tree and cried for a few days before she finally accepted food from him. We named her Zoey because, well, she just looked like it. I was ironic, really, that we named her that (since it's Greek for "life"), because we discovered a couple of weeks later that she was gaining rather a lot of weight--and it wasn't the weight of good food and fine accomodations. :001_huh: We think she's a cross between a lab and a Plott hound, and the 8 puppies that came a couple of months later looked sort of hound/lab/rottweiler/pitbull-ish. My son picked out the runt of the litter, who looked more black lab than anything...the deep-chested howl came about five months later. At the time we were reading Watership Down, and we decided to name him Fiver since he was the runt. When we take him for walks around the neighborhood (mostly older people), they ask his name and invariably say, "Why did you name him FiBer?" :001_smile: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another Lynn Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 I'm not even a real dog lover (that would be dh), but that picture is precious!

5wolfcubs Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 Our Akita puppy is Tenshi, which means angel. Since the breed is Japanese in origin we started with the A's in our Japanese children's dictionary. We got stuck arguing at S with Sanso (warrior) and Suki (love) but all agreed on Tenshi when we got to the T's! Try calling the loudly, softly, sternly, etc before deciding. I refused a lot of names because I couldn't picture myself calling them! As a final note, she does not currently live up to her name. :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
