Name for puppy

[Ginger_Thing]

We are collecting our second flatcoat puppy on Sat - already have one called Tarn and another dog called Murphy.

We have sort of come to an agreement on the name Tallie (it's a boy) - is this a girl's name? I like Quincy but OH doesn't, he likes Casper but I don't!

To keep with the Lake District theme of Tarn, I came up with Mere and I think they go really well together, but think Mere is a girl's name too. Also liked Darcy (girl again?)

You might see a pattern here - we have better girl's names than boys but ended up with a boy! Although I also like Milo and Teilo (Welsh).

Help please (and new suggestions welcome!) he's coming on Sat and has no name (want a name suitable for a gundog, preferably with 2 syllables).

we just had the same saga both coming out with things and the other saying no we actually came up with more boy names that girls and we're getting a girl lol

i've thought of the following:
bracken
goose
stanley

Rufus

I don't think Mere is a girls name, think its kind of unisex (is that correct, where it applies to both sexes....??)

Darcy is either as well (Mr Darcy for example?!)

Tallie is a girls name!

I know it might be more of a collie name, but I nearly named Beau.. Jet (because of him beign so black....)

I like Charlie, but every other dog is called Charlie isn't it.... I like Jack too! (Wow Im really boring with names aren't i!)

Boris is mint too!

(thats from my mum!)

I like Rufus, but it means 'red-haired' so I would save that for a liver dog. In fact I came up with a few suitable for liver (think Bracken goes with liver too), but we're getting a black dog. If he turns out anything like Tarn, he'll be more 'Doofus' than 'Rufus', lol

I like Milo

But how can we possibly make suggestions without a picture - I demand a puppy picture!!

[Lucy_Nottingham]

Sorry, not themed but what about:

Guiness (Black)
Treacle (Black)
Otis
alfi
Rodger
Bodger (we have a bull mastiff called Bodger and he suits it to a T)

 

[ScotPonio]

Rupert, Alfie, Drake, Soot, Midnight, Jet,

These are some good ones milo is quite good but is the name of one of the tweenies which is a kids programme

pigeon, Jakie, i dont know im not very good with names

chance,badger, Aaron, Aeron, Aero,Aidan, Merlin, Mac, Maxey, Maximillion

How about Brother, after Brothers Water? Okay, that's pretty terrible, but if you want to keep with the Lakes theme, how about:

Kendal (or Kenneth

)
Rydal
Derwent

I think the best dog name ever is Steve, but I also like Herman, Digby, Linus and Hudson.

 

[Scranny_Ann]

he's got ARNOLD written all over his face!! =]

My Mum's dog is called Dubh (pronouced Doo) which mean Black in Gaelic.
Although, he is working he gets called Dooby, and no one can pronouce it when it is written either

the Vet's call him Doo-Ba-Huh!

But I think it would suit him!

 

[Lucy_Nottingham]

I actually like your name Darcy for him...... thinking about it!

He looks like my puppy (ok border collie but this is relevant!) in that he is a cute little fluff ball, but when he grew up a bit all his fluff has gone really sleek and shiny!

That to me says Mr Darcy

hehe
