Trying to name my new puppy
 

We got a new puppy yesterday. She is a 4 month old Australian Sheperd mix. (They think she has German Shepard in her too.) She is already 30 pounds, so the vet thinks she will be 60+ full grown. Her paws are already as big as our 80 pound lab/chow mix! She is pretty smart.

I can't decide on a name for her! I figured there would be plenty of people her who wouldn't mind sharing their opinion!


Here is my current short list:
Loki
Milla
Pearl / Pearla (because Bruce programs in pearl)
Dagny
Calista
Dougie


Here are some pics:
(She has taken to sleeping by my desk while I work)

I'm open to suggestions.. just not sure what fits yet....

I don't know if you want a suggestion from a guy who named his cat Retard, personally I think all cats should have that name though.

I would suggest Bruce but you already have a bitch with that name, so I say Rylee!

Pearl / Pearla (because Bruce programs in pearl)....

Honey, that was like 10 years ago and it was PERL LOL let's call her CSharp, or PHP, or Ajax, or even MySQL LOL

or PiHPy, not PaHPy

LOL! i'll take this one into consideration. But I am going to ignore your previous post!!

She looks like a "Shasta" to me.

This thread is waste of my time

SNOOKIE:thumbsup

:321GFY Maybe I'll name her Brucesucks

Spot .....


.

try with Mofos :winkwink:

Europeans Billing Europe!
 

Anna, you always want a hard explosive initial consonant for a dog's name so you instantly get their attention when you want it - so of your choices Pearl, Dagna, Calista and Dougie would work best - Calista will probably end up Callie or Cal ;-) and the hard 'K' is your best choice with Pearl second. 'D' is lingua-alveolar and doesn't have the same punch.

This is a smart dog, but also independent minded as a herder with a job to do, so you're going to want her to stop and look when you call her...try the names and see when she perks her ears...

They look beautiful out there :thumbsup

Milla is good name :)

:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

Oh, like I don't hear that "every day" LOL

Boadicea - warrior queen of the Iceni

Good point, not that i really named my dogs that way. I have Bruce voting for PiHPy now! lol

Aww... She's adorable!!! For some reason, every time I look at the center pic, the names Maggie or Sasha come to mind...

Hey sexy... which center pic? (There are 4.) :upsidedow :upsidedow

Sasha isn't bad tho...

There's 4 pictures; what's the center pic?

Personally, I like Kaos as a name for a dog or even Disco. My German Shepherd is named Windows. Unusual names are cool and great conversation starters.

I vote for Disco.

she looks like Fiona to me

WhatHaveYouDoneToMyFavouriteShoes might suit the breed as a shepherd dog needs a lot of exercise / mental stimultion to stop it getting bored and destroying things (mine ate the carpet on the stairs)

2 syllable names shout well when you want a dogs attention but I can't think of anything suitable.

I agree I like unusual names. I don't know about Disco tho :)

I don't know why this is driving me nuts, but nothing seems to stick for me yet.

Disco is cool. We named our Pug Jello.

I'm going with PiHPy which stands for PiHPy Is Her PuppY

One of my puppies is named Loki, but he's male :)

Haha, you're right... my bad. I meant the second pic. :) (the last pic didn't load for me at first) lol

Yeah, Loki the norse god was male. I still like it for her though.

I tried seeing what she responds to, but it didnt' really work. She is australian sheperd... she watches me whenever I speak.

Yes I have grabbed a few shoes from her already. Don'tEatMyCoat is also fitting! lol

cute dog.... how about Kylie

Laika http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laika

SPRAT.. That would be good.

my vote is .... Loki :)

Congrats on the dog! What a cutie:0

calista fits better

call her DILDO

Cute pup. Loki, was the trickster God of Norse mythology not sure that fits.

My vote is Milia.

Shay is a good dog name btw :)

Good thing she's hot! I just wish her and her husband would stop following me everywhere:winkwink:

I vote for Calista. Congrats on your new puppy

Bwaahahaha - Good times, Good times~
