I just got a new dog today...he is sooooo cute! When it comes time to think of a name of course I can't think of ANYTHING! I want something different...not a plain jane name. Any ideas?

He's adorable!! Picking a name is fun..my pets names usually come to me out of nowhere, or they represent something about the pet, something it does, irony of how it looks, where it came from..I have a female dog who was a flood victim in Puerto Rico. We named her Marley, after Bob. I don't know why, it just fit. Honestly, at first glance of your new puppy I wanted to call him Oscar. I don't usually like that name, but man...that's the first thing I said to myself when I saw him..strange ) You'll find a great name, I'm sure of it!
ps-you should take a picture that shows his cute little face better )
Jenncherry99
24-04-2007 17:04:23
thats the first thing I thought too!!! For some reason on my way to get him, Oscar came to mind.
Bentley also came to mind...
ldybug1752
24-04-2007 17:05:45
Woah, two Oscars out of nowhere..maybe it's his destiny hahaha D
Bentley is also a really cute name )
My dog's name is Oscar... He is a wiener dog... Oscar Mayer Wiener Dog...
how about Mogule

It's true it's good to pick a name that has a "friendly ring" to the nick name you may want to shorten it to when calling out (hope that makes sense lol). Like my dogs, Marley and Haley..not real good for shortening...Mar just doesn't sound right, and Hay Hay is just, well...embarassing to say haha

We fostered a dog from the ASPCA and were planning on adopting it as well. When we got her, her name was Bonnie. We thought that was a horrible name for a dog, so we kept trying to come up with a new name, Eventually we gave up and just called her Bonnie.
I think we figured all that time she was called Bonnie, to start calling her something else would confuse the shit out of her.
hairyferry
24-04-2007 18:50:46

u could always wait and see if she does anything defining. our dog decided to jump off a second story balcony before we got her...they names her amelia for amelia airheart (not the right spelling)

Cute dog, makes me sad that I can't get a dog at the moment. So it's a he or a she? Jeter is not a bad name but then I'd feel sorry for the dog everytime the yankees lose in the playoffs. How about Dice-K? Otherwise I'd go with any of ilanbg's ideas.
