OT: need help naming dog
Kim McAnnally
<G>) and need help coming up with a name. They have named two cats, now it's my
turn <G>. If it's up to DD, it would be named Pikachu and I don't want that!
LOL
He is a mixed breed and has the markings of a rottweiler (sp?) - black and
brown. He looks like he will be a pretty big dog - he was the biggest of the
litter and has good size paws. What oh what shall I name him? Dante is the best
thing I've come up with so far...
Any help will be much appreciated!

Of course, you could always call him Heinz! But I'd go for something
like Hans, or Faust, or Brutus. If he looks rottweilerish, you need a
nice strong name for him.
Good luck with the puppy!

My sister had a dog that was a rottweiler cross. She called her Riley.
Consider the dog's temperament. Does he follow you everywhere? Call him
Shadow. Is he sweet? Call him Sugar. Are you going to take him everywhere?
Call him Traveller. Name him after a cousin he reminds you of. Are you
thinking of Dante because he understands human nature (after the author) or
because you want to scare would-be intruders (after the author's best-known
work, The Inferno)? Don't name him something bad or stupid, dogs understand
tones of voice, and if the name you call him is also an insult, it will hurt
and confuse him all his life. (We named one of our cats Stinker, because he
was and is, both digestively and in action, and I had to make a special effort
to speak his name sweetly once he got old enough to connect the sound with
himself.) Try out a couple of names. Stroke him and say a name -- does it
fit? Once in awhile a dog will get all excited over one name when you try
this, and so names himself. But imagine standing on the porch calling him and
the neighbors hearing you -- if it makes you cringe, don't call him that.
Don't name him something that sounds like a command. Beau is a good name,
except it sounds like No, for example.
Good luck finding a name that's his alone!

So his name is Reese cup, and he's called Reese. DH doesn't like it, but since
he woke me up at 5 am this morning to change out the puppy pads in the box they
are in (I'm keeping 2 for SIL until Christmas) I don't care if DH likes the
name or not! MEN!!

Zeida (keeshond)

Kritter (staffy, after the movie, you know - furball with teeth)
Fugley (blue heeler - for flippin' ugly)
Snuggles and Cuddles (dobes)

You could always just go for Sweetpea, Sugar, Honey, or any of those names men

This reminds me of how I named my first cat. She was an all black cat
with emerald green eyes, so I went through the typical "black cat" names
like Cinder, Blackie, Midnight, Sootie, but nothing seemed to fit. It
was a couple of weeks before I named her. She was sitting in the living
room window, and all of the sudden, she jumped up, ran to the back of
the house to jump in the kitchen window, ran back to the living room,
ran back to the kitchen, and kept this up for a good 2-3 minutes. Then
she settled back into the sunshine of the living room window and went to
sleep.
I ended up calling her Psycho. It wasn't until I got another cat that I
realized they were all like that. :-)

My little sister & her family have a rot. named "Taz" after the cartoon version
of the Tazmanian Devil. :-) I decided that I should have named our puppy
"Humbug" since we live on Humbug Creek Road. It would have been easier to say
than "Oddear". And yes, her ears still don't match most of the time - one up
like a shepherd & one flopped over like a border collie. :-))

Well, I've had a few pets -
Kelly, a cocker/lab mix, the name was from an Irish song
Topsy, a long haired tabby cat
Timothy, a hamster
Sham, my parakeet, named for the racehorse that kept coming in second to
Secretariat
Caspian, a black cat, named for a character in the C.S. Lewis Narnia books
Shannon, my Jack Russell terrier
Any of those names are a possibility <G>
