wintermom Posted August 29, 2023 Share Posted August 29, 2023 He's a border collie, and our other border collie is named "Rocky." This guy could have a name that matches, or at least sounds different enough from Rocky so the dogs can tell them apart. So far our running list is: Billy, Boris, Mick, Arnold, Charlie, and Domino. 23 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Katy Posted August 30, 2023 Share Posted August 30, 2023 I’d also recommend Bullwinkle, but I bet my kids would shorten it to Winkie in no time. 1 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wintermom Posted August 30, 2023 Author Share Posted August 30, 2023 10 minutes ago, I talk to the trees said: Awwww, what a cutie! Is Riker too trekkie? Would that be Star trekkie? I'm original series trekkie, and not up on the later generations. It's a cute name, but I can see myself mixing up Rocky and Riker - it's a bit tongue-twister-ish. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(It helps that the two names don't sound alike, so the dogs wouldn't be confused when someone yells for them to come across a field.

Grace Hopper Posted August 30, 2023 Share Posted August 30, 2023 (edited) Bullwinkle is the first thing that came to mind! Followed by the unforgettable Hank, for a cowdog. He’s adorable. I’d love to have a cowdog/border collie friend, they are my faves, but I have neither the space nor energy to give that breed what they need. Love ‘em though. I follow a border collie page on Instagram and it is delightful. The names you listed are cute. A couple more suggestions, for a girl I’d have said Adrian, but for your boy maybe Paulie (Rocky Balboa’s best friend).

wintermom Posted August 30, 2023 Author Share Posted August 30, 2023 Thanks for all these great suggestions! One of the reasons why it's a more challenging process in picking a name is that we don't actually have the pup yet. He'll be old enough to leave his mom in one week. By that time I should have a really good list of names to choose from, and we'll see which ones fit the pup's personality. For our last border collie, my dd picked out the name "Neapolitan," as in the ice cream, as he was chocolate brown and white with a pink nose. As soon as "Neo" saw our other dog he went ballistic with a wee rage about who was HIS mommy, and the name "Rocky," the fighter, seemed way more suitable. It also fit because he was born close to the Rocky Mountains. So I don't want to make a similar mistake with this little guy. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grace Hopper Posted August 30, 2023 Share Posted August 30, 2023 What a squish! His little brown face markings make me think he stuck his nose in a just-emptied bowl of chocolate cake batter and the battery bowl rim left marks on his face. So cute. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brittany1116 Posted August 30, 2023 Share Posted August 30, 2023 My favorite way to find dog names is to go to Etsy, click on trendy dog tags, and read all the names in the review pictures. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
