Hello, I hope people don't mind me asking for some help but a few weeks back my daughters dog had some puppies and when they are old enough I'm going to bring one home.

But I'm really stuck on names for it so if anyone had any suggestions it would be greatly appreciated. My other dog is Craig. Thank you very much.

Bob, Freddie, Charlie, Owen, Frank

Plato......if he’s anything like my old dog ( sat by his plate, hoping it would be filled) and who had a philosophical nature, into the bargain.

I always think Lupin is a good name.

How about Chieftain for your new little tank?

Digger?

Hudson? Do we get a prize?

Boy or girl?
Sparklefizz That's a very relevant question Wouldn't want to give the poor puppy a complex! confused
"Dog or Bitch" would also suffice, but never "Darling" as used by a local young lady!
Imagine in the park calling out "Come here Darling!"!?
You'd cause a stampede; or maybe not! grin

Craig is a Celtic name meaning rock how about Ben as it is a name and also means mountain in Scottish.

Buddy as i am sure he will become one not only to you but your other dog too.smile

I think it’s lovely to let your GCs name the puppy, we knew a ‘Digby’ he was a lovely dog.

Hmm.. Letting DGSs name a pet can be a bit of a minefield. Ours came up with some pretty dodgy ones! You could let them choose from a list of names that you like?

My nephew wanted to call his sister's female Guinea pig James Bond!

Please let us know what name you finally settle on

Rory or Hamish.

Our dogs are named after our favourite team's footballers, past or present, usually with 2 syllables, as that makes the dog easier to call. Everyone's favourite footballer at the moment seems to be Marcus

I've just come back from walking my dogs in the woods and I met a minature Shnauzer called WALTER. Lovely little chap who suited his name.

midgey Fri 30-Oct-20 15:41:36

What ever name you choose try bellowing the name first!
