Help Name The Puppy!!

[KingVoyeur]

Ok, so my best friend is moving in with me and we're getting two German Shepherd/Poodle (Shepoodles, or Poopherds (which is funnier)) puppies, and I'm trying to decide what to name mine. It's an all-black puppy with shaggy fur (the other one looks the same but with short hair). Take the poll above, where I've got a few name possibilities, or click "other" and suggest your own. Pictures to follow!

Howzabout "Kinko" and "Tenacious D"?

:smirk:

Are these boy puppies or girl puppies? If boy puppies, I'm partial to "Dinsdale" and "Spiny Norman." (Unfortunately, my kitties are all girl kitties, so I couldn't use those.)

:) I voted "other", even though the first four are nice names....

Cosmo.

Name him Cosmo.

[KingVoyeur]

Oops, sorry, both puppies are boys. And I do like Cosmo, that's another possibility....

I voted "Other."

I tend to allow the personality of the animal suggest a name. Since it isn't my dog, I'll have to wing it here:

Name 1: "Homer" (many possible associations here, not just The Simpsons)

Name 2: "Kong"

Name 3: "Punkt" (German word for "spot." You said it is half Shepherd . . . ) or "Tache," the French word for "spot," if the dog seems to have more poodle than shepherd in him . . .

I have no idea what you should name them, but all I know is that you can't name a poodle, regardless of what else is in the mix, "Anubis." I think it would be an afront to the gods and your dog might get hit by lightening.

hmmm, I do like Bill's suggestion of Cosmo, go with Cosmo.

I voted "Anubis" since it was one of your choices.

But I have another suggestion.... Mr Eko. You have to be a Lost fan though. :)

Woohoo!! My friend just picked up the puppies! It looks like mine is the short-hair, and he chose one that has black and brown coloring. The short hair is apparently VERY energetic, so maybe Flux will work after all, though I do still like Cosmo (I'm also leaning towards synonyms of Flux, like Fuse or Rush).

I am partial to Shakespearean names when it comes to dogs.



Banquo

Tybalt

Lear

Balthazar

Laertes

Horatio

Lucent

Malvolio (Mal for Short)

Oberon

Polonius (I would name a Doberman or Rottie this)

Proteus

Woohoo!! My friend just picked up the puppies! It looks like mine is the short-hair, and he chose one that has black and brown coloring. The short hair is apparently VERY ebergetic, so maybe Flux will work after all, though I do still like Cosmo (I'm also leaning towards synonyms of Flux, like Fuse or Rush).

You will never be comfortable giving it a name you didn't think up. I know I wouldn't.

He's adorable. He's a lot feistier than his brother Mouse (they're both very aptly named it turns out!).

Beautiful puppy. But get him some dark-colored bedding unless you want everyone who visits to see how diligent you are at vacuuming. :D
