Let's hear some really great names for my new puppy?

In My Humble Opinion

I hate to break this to you, but pets aren’t kids. Are parents that name their kids Pete repressing a secret desire to own slaves? Some dogs are breed and raised to work, and not be pets.
As Sigmund Floyd (thanks VanLandry) once said, “Sometimes a dog is just a dog.”

Is this a joke?

Miss Pippi… what did you name your puppy?

I’ve been wondering :slight_smile:

44

Hey! What’s wrong with Mocha? We have a ten year old cat named Mocha, but he is mocha, whereas a chocolate lab would be way too dark to be.

45

I always wanted to name a dog Larry.

46

Name him D-O-G (pronounced Deo Gee)it’ll take a while for folks to realize you named your dog…DOG.:smiley:

We just got a new puppy too, a pug. His name is Otto.
I wonder how SDMB’s Otto feels about that?

47

darn, pkbites beat me to it. I heard that on the radio one morning and loved it. Great idea. Works for a cat too. Just call it see-AY-tee. CAT. Great!

48

Um, I know several people who went the D-O-G and C-A-T route. It’s only funny the first time you hear it.

When I got my chow/shep/lab mix, he literally looked like a bear, of course everyone names their damn dog Bear…how unoriginal :wink:

So I went through the USA atlas, and ran across Kodiak Island in Alaska, somehow I still named him a bear but I didn’t call him bear. Well, okay I still call him Bear as he’s my Kodi-Bear, that or Wolf Boy but that’s a different story.

I kind of went with his personality when I decided that would be his name. He was a gentle boy but could be fierce (it’s the chow in him) when he felt he had to be. It took me a few days to decide that Kodiak fit him.

That’s something I recommend that everyone to do. Look at several different names and see if his personality fit.

My brother had a black lab named Nugget, I used to just call the dog Butt-Nugget!!!

Chocolate lab…hmmmm, how about:

Java (either coffee or the internet programing)
Fudge (remember the Judy Blume book?)
Nestle (okay that’s silly but works if your dog is a happy boy)

here are some of my suggestions that were rejected when my girlfriend got a male american eskimo.rejected but IMHO they’re OK:
turbo
nitro
t-bone
mc gruff
vincent vega (pulp fiction)
vincent
tristan
bram
bam-bam
zuess

all i can think of now. BTW we named him Kody it fits him well. we did wait to name him tho. meanwhile i called him “dog with no name”. “went thru the desert with a dog with no name”-i would sing just to annoy the girlfriend…:smiley:
