We are getting a fawn bitch puppy in mid november and are struggling to agree on a name for her - we have 2 other whippets - 'Maisie' - named by us and 'Fly' - a rescue who came with her name. I think 'Bundle' is quite cute - but OH isn't keen - he likes 'Peggy' - which i'm not sure about.

I have gone through lots of whippet names, Holly, Mindy, Lilly, Jasmine, Jet, Millie, Spider, Poppy.

The difficult part is trying to find KC reg names for 10 female pups, all have to be two words. I used famous racehorse fillies names. Oh So Sharp etc.

Like Bundle, not sure how easy it would be to shout (as in calling her back not being cross with!).

I would have suggested Maisie if you hadn't already got one LOL!!

I like Bunty, was going to call one of the JRs Bunty but she ended up as Fleigh

I like Gracie - also thought of 'Lizzie' and 'Emma' and 'Lucy' - I like girly names for whippets too! It's OH who's being a bit tricky - although it was he who named Maisie and I like that name! God help us if we ever have children!

We have a blue fawn bitch and she's Izzy (but we call her Whizzy!) and a black and white bitch called Smudge (or i call her 'mudgy, everyone else calls her a lunatic!)

For calling purposes - 2 sylables ending in y or ie seem good - so Poppy, Izzy, Susie etc.

Polly, Milly, Maggie, Lily, Daisy, Rosie?

She's a fawn bitch - we are going to show her and obviously she will be a pampered princess like our others!! - she's only 18 days old, but will get some pics as soon as I can! I still like Peggy for her name - she's coming from Saraquele whippets - have I seen you on the whippet forum? if so there are some new pics up on there today of the litter - not sure which one is ours yet - we are waiting until they are a bit older to decide. So excited - had a really bad time recently - my bitch lost her litter of 11 (!) puppies and nearly died herself, so it will be nice to have something positive to look forward to
