Help me name my puppy?
Replies
My wife surprised me yesterday saying she's going pick up a puppy Friday. We lost our weenie of 12 years two years ago and both took it really hard, but we were waiting for the right time. The breeder had initially passed us over, but she came back to us with this little guy saying he was the last one and the other home that had been lined up for him wasn't right. He's such a cute baby boy, but there's just one problem...
We don't have a name for him yet! I didn't think we were getting a new pup so soon (we had contacted this breeder before the litter was whelped & been passed up then.) so my mind is completely blank on name ideas. I do have a small list of names that are a big no, though: David, Max, Clifford, Bosco, Buster, Roscoe, and Percy/Perceus. They're past pet names and it feels wrong to reuse them haha.
Would love to hear your suggestions! (:
I never give "normal" names to pets. I have cats named R9E, and Victoria. Geese going as BGY-11 and Mordisco. And most of my pets here are a medley of oddities.
I've never named a dog...
Nice HA there, I hold my knife backwards and sinister.
I'm a huge nerd, so all the pets my roomie and I look after have nerdy names aside from our cats, which are named Crow (a black cat, so original) and Toby (short for toe-beans, which is what we called our orange tabby before we had a real name for him). Legit all our other animals are named for our favorite characters from video games, movies, podcasts, ect. So if you're nerdy, don't be afraid to consider a nerdy name :)
Agree with the nerdy name comment. I named my cat Moxie after Mad Moxie from Borderlands. Most of my future pet names are all nerd based....
Top 10:
- Sora
- Axel
- Vex
- Chip
- Renji
- Duke
- Cooper
- Spike
- Zero
- Levi
Do you have a few favorite game or movie series?
I love final fantasy so that's where I'd start.
Or do you want it to mean something like moon or thunder?
FINALLY GOT THE 15K WARDROBE DONE!!!!! Next up gutting and selling it.
What a cutie! He looks like a Thunderpaws (Thunder for short) to me. Since he's such a little guy, Goliath might be fun. other boy pup names I personally like; Laika Shredder Maverick Jet Gizmo Maximilian (Max)
What an adorable puppy! Suggestions: Henry, Oliver, Theodore, Benji, Jasper, Finn, Hugo, Beau, Klein, Sirius, Bowie, Howl, Moose
Do you have any favorite fictional characters you love that fit his personality? Or maybe the name of a famous person from history? Or a word that has to do with something you're passionate about? I named my kitty Cannoli because I thought of it as my chance to use a cute/unusual name, whereas if I have kids I would use the more "normal" names I like.

Thank you!
What name did you go with?
1L. Talk jargon to me. Or give me a paid internship.
We ended up naming him Barnaby Wolfgang. It came to me in a dream as cheesy as that sounds, and her parents really wanted to name him Barney so it was a happy medium.
