So I'm at a loss at the moment. At a loss for a good name! You see, next month on the 15th I get to add a fur baby to my family! A black and white miniature parti poodle, a little boy! I am super excited about this and really can't wait to be able to take him home.
But I'm having issues with deciding on a name. Westley (the character from The Princess Bride!) was in the running for awhile. A favorite book character, Two-Bit, was also considered.
But just tonight the person I'm getting the puppy from sent me new photos of my new baby and those names don't seem to click with him.
So now I turn to my friends here on bettafish.com for some creative name help. Just please....no suggestions of Oreo! Lol
Or Megatron, as my boyfriend seems to think he should be called. -_-
Lmao, I lol'ed at Megatron XD That's wonderful, I'm sorry! :lol: :rofl:
Do you have any themes you want to stick with? If you give me a few themes or categories I can come up with an entire list for you! I'm good for that kind of stuff haha
Hmmm, I guess I'll just start throwing out names then that might fit: Popcorn, Sunny, Blaze, Crackle, Frost, Thor (lol), Toro, Daken, Spyke, Padfoot, Karima, Sunder, Gambit, Hyperion, Feron....any yeah that's all I can come up with odd names. Not sure if you want a simple name or not I can add more later.
Oreo. Look, I cropped and rotated it! I had to.
Lol. I think it would be the perfect name but your decision! I am no help whatsoever when it comes to naming thing. Sorry.
Poor Russell was "Little Man" or (only from my husband) "Shihtee" for three months! Then one day "Russell" just hit me. I've decided what fits as a puppy doesn't always fit an adult. So, take your time. Although he does look like he'll be a "Franklin" when he's grown. ;-)
I love and have had many poodles. Never had a parti but always wanted one. The minis are so easy to train and so quick! You'll have tons and tons of fun; especially if you decide to try Agility. Ever need any help, PM me; I'm a retired dog trainer who specialized in puppies.
If this is how bad I am about naming a dog...I am so glad I don't ever plan on having kids. Naming a child would be a nightmare. This is a nightmare. Lol!
Thanks for the suggestions, all! Goving me things I've not considered, which is what I'm looking for. Getting tired of poring through name books and whatnot ( I miiiiiiight be abut nuts. Did I forget to mention? )
@MattsBettas: Gah! Noooo! I already know/ have known about a dozen black and white dogs named Oreo. Lol It kills me to know that with his markings it fits perfect, too. Lol
@Russel: I might take you up on pumping you for help when the time comes. Agility is actually something I've been considering. Haven't really looked not it yet but I may start. Thank you!
I usually get a list of names, work with the dog for a day & see which fits. I've got 3 terriers, Kazmeras, Gustavus & Isabella, you probably don't want any of my name suggestions. They always end up with nicknames or shortened versions, Kaz Gus & Izzy go by Skinny Stubby & Pudge much of the time.
Looks like a Stanislaw to me, Stan is a good dog name.
How completely adorable your new puppy is, must be so exciting for you ! As for picking a name I always ask my family and friends for ideas and then pick one that suits the animal the best. Alright now I have to admit when I adopted my Corgi-Shepard mix from my local shelter a few years ago I wanted to name him , wait for it...
Gorgotron after a character on Aqua Teen Hunger Force...lol but my kids would not let me so I settled on Barkley cause he is very vocal, not so much barking but he howls whenever he wants something and will keep howling till he gets it...lol
Have fun picking out a name and be sure and let us know what you choose !
he's such a cutie! -squee-
Normally, I'm really good with names. I can't think of anything off the top of my head. If I can think of something, I'll post them.
He totally looks like an "Oreo"....lol....but I know you don't like that one....I also like Domino, as someone else suggested. How about "Harlequin" or "Harley" for short.....Harlequins are jesters who wear black and white....
