HALP! I have no idea what to name my new puppy

No ironing required?

My little puppy is 10 and a half months old. He’s finally stopped all the annoying puppy tricks and actually prefers to go outside to relieve himself now. And those razor sharp puppy teeth are long gone.

And a 2 syllable name is preferred. The dogs respond better to them.

Yes! Love it. It sounds good when you you call it. Rayyyyy-zinnnnnnn!

She looks like a Lola to me, for some reason.

Raisin is good. Or Rumples; that popped into my head when I looked at her.

Combining several previous suggestions.

Rumple Silk Skin.

Lipo (short for liposuction) as that is what the dog looks like it had.

Ruching

Pei Per View

My first thought after looking at Puppy’s picture was: Cowardly Lion, Wizard Of Oz.
But “Lion” isn’t a very good name for a dog. Perhaps a variation on that theme?
(Cute pup, BTW)

Lotus
Cricket
Crinkle

Why not? In that picture, he’s lion down.

I have an ori-pei and I wanted to name him Winkles, but I let my son name him. So I got a Mackie. Since I was pet sitting when he was born, his owners were in Hawaii, I say it’s short for Macadamia Nut.

I really like Raisin.

Raisin is a very cute name and goes with her color, too.

I also like the previously suggested Lola or Daisy.

My own suggestion: Sunny

Shelley. Don’t ask me why. Just … Shelley.

Safety tip: raisins are poisonous* to dogs, so it’s okay to NAME her that, but don’t let some fool feed her raisins because he/she thinks it’s cute.

*It’s somewhat more complicated than that – the situation is not fully understood last I heard, but some dogs have died from eating a few grapes or raisins. Whether it depends on the variety of grapes, some pesticide used, or something about production has not yet been determined. Better safe than sorry.

Manganese

Is that a name suggestion, or the reason why dogs shouldn’t eat raisins?

I like Raisin, but my suggestion is Ellie. (Elephants are also sufficiently wrinkly!)

Both! Named for the people of that famous Asian country, Mangan.

Okay, maybe that was a stupid suggestion. How about Oubliette?

I knew I’d get great suggestions!

After observing her interacting with our other dog, I ended up naming her Moxie. She’s a tiny little thing and Sammy is about 5 times her size right now but she gives as good as she gets, pouncing after him with her little crocodile mouth. She’s got moxie in spades :slight_smile:

ETA: on here AND on my Facebook, people overwhemingly recommended Lola. I nearly named her after my weight loss surgeon, but his name is the same as my next door neighbor’s so I figured every time I yelled the puppy’s name outside my neighbor might think I’m calling for her.
