[OT] Need a name for our new dog

[Mr Fidgit]

Godiva! and LMNOP sounds like a greek name, doesn't it? but Buttercup, monkey? wouldn't that just confuse the dog?

"This is my dog, Monkey."
"What's a dog-monkey?"

 

[Wulf Ratbane]

Yeah but you would never be sure you were pronouncing it correctly.

Oh, I dunno.

Get it exactly right three times in a row or so...


Wulf

 

[Tsyr]

Oh, I dunno.

Wulf

Why not name it Hastur while your at it?

 

[Darraketh]

Puddles

Is it because she leaves them or likes to play in them?

edit: I need to add "winner of the name the dog thread" to my sig.

Freya is a fantastic name for a pet. Go with your first thought.

I like Freya, actually, though till she's housebroken and had her obedience training you may occasionally be calling her Hel !

Since you asked for suggestions:
Agatha
Arwen
Bait (will eventually require a second dog named Switch)
Finster
Maxine

to continue the family's Celtic naming conventions, what about:
Dogda

--Rack
(companion to dog Mingus aka Mangy, Gub, Dumba**; cat Elmo aka Elminster, Elmet, Eeeevil One; and cat Hobie aka Hobart, Beanie, Blockhead)

 

[Tonguez]

Lady Freya Winnifried Baxtor-Thornburg the Fourth, High Enchantress of Chigol-Thereon could be a good name

or maybe

'Dog'

You might find this helpful while naming your dog. At the least it might be interesting reading material...

i honestly would have to go with piratecat or p-kitty, just to cool to pass up for a dog.

but bigby also sounds like a black lab. then you could have bigby the retreiving dog

if it helps churn the creative juices, here are our pet names-

cats: bruce wayne, taska, smaug, tux, cool face, chip, harriet the spy, sam(sam-a-rama), aunt cat

dogs: riley, penny pretty, arlo.

and we have several box turtles but only one has a name, grace.

A picture is too much to ask for?



I'd recommend any clever name, but something you can say in public, and certainly don't name your dog "Sit" or "Stay."

How about Gygax?
