Best name for a dog

Post by colbs »

Its a boy, has black fur with white boots and a white underbelly. (were not sure what breed he is due to the fact he was a stray, but he looks to be pit bull and terrier)
No names like Oreo, or panda, or anything relevant to the reason that hes black and white.

I like traditional human names, personally, for dogs. Charlie, Harry, Henry, James, you know what I mean. People names. Steinbeck called his dog Charlie, as did my girlfriend. Even Frank I like.

I have two dogs, Madam Roza who's a real lady and Sir Oscar who think he owns the place :lol: My first dog's name was Duke, you can try that or Prince, King, it runs in the royalty theme. Alternatively there are web sites you can try for ideas, see this one dogchannel.com/dog-names-center/default ... wgodQgMA5w. Good luck, enjoy your new furry friend! Let us know the verdict :D

I like nontraditional names. You could name him Boots. Or you could wait a while and name him after a dominant personality trait. Zip if he's fast or excitable. Bud if he just wants to hang out. Einstein if he's really smart. Loco if he's loco.

I hope you find the perfect name.

I think it's always cool to name a dog after his personality. I have a dog and he just seems like a Worldly gentleman so his name is...Mister P and it just fits. :) It's also fun at the vet...haha

If it has only three legs, a great name would be Tripod. :D

I have friends who retired in Mexico. They named their dog "Trotsky", after the
famous Marxist/Bolshevik/Communist expelled by Stalin from Russia in the late 1920's. Trotsky the Theorist traveled to several countries after his
expulsion, eventually settling in Mexico City. Where he was assassinated in 1940 by
a Spanish Communist, on Stalin's orders. Trotsky the Dog met a similar fate. Unlike
Trotsky The Theorist, he had no political affiliation and was murdered simply because of his proximity to the murderer.
In 1984, my friends were murdered by a man whose sister had worked for them as
a domestic. She had been stealing from them(mostly personal items, which had value
for them, but nothing that would be easy to unload in a black market)and was eventually fired. The night of the day she was fired, her brother went to their residence
and hacked them to death with a machete. Their bodies were decapitated. In a final
measure of contempt for them, the murderer also did away with their beloved pet in
similar fashion. I swear, before God, that the events as I have recounted them are true.

Great names. Bernie wasn't the Cat who started the biggest Ponzi Scheme in history was he? The creep who murdered my friends never went to trial. And was released as soon as the murders were forgotten. (Two gringos and a gringo dog, who cares, right?) I was
living in the town then and found out about it from another American. After viewing the bodies(he didn't just kill them, he butchered them), I hired the town's only truck to take
us as faraway from PA, as quickly as possible. It took us 6 hours to get to Acapulco.
We took the first flight to an American destination(Tuscon). And drank mescal and ate
delicacies recommended by the PDR for a week. Exigent circumstances don't you know. I'd heard all the horror stories(everyone of them true) and knew that if your the richest gringo at the scene of an accident. You're it. Whenever we were stopped by a
Mexican with a uniform on? "Mordida?. Si, señor. Tenemos. Es bastante?" If you're dumb enough to get sideways with the Mexican legal system, may God have mercy
on your soul. I think about my friends from time to time. Their first mistake was to call their dog "Trotsky". Low profiles are the best profiles. They made a lot of mistakes. I
was friendly, but never familiar. Que lastima.

Ive given dogs names that fit their personality or sometimes human names. One of my dogs is Digger, because he digs holes all over the yard looking for gophers. The other one is taffy, she was named by my grandson. Ive had dogs named Sam, Becky, Suzie, Charley, Buddy, Griswald, Q, Shorty, Brown Dog, Muffy, Bing, and too many more to mention. My daughter has an orange cat named Spot from Commander Data's cat on Star Trek. The first poster mentioned Panda, we had a big fluffy dog my wife named Pandy. I dont know where she got that from.

My first wife was a cat person. We lived on a property with a barn full of hay in Southern
Colorado for a while. While we were there, the barn hosted 14 cats. I don't count
the mothers. They were always transient. All 14 were born and raised in the barn.
There were 3 litters and each litter lived independently of the other two. Kind of like humanity. Whats mine is mine and the rest is yours. The exception to this tawdry
display of self interest was Gus. My Tabby, First Mate of Thistlers Mother, Happy,
Never Sad, and The Only Quadra Or Biped Who Lived His Life Without The Attachment
That None Of Us Seem to Be Able To Live Without: Territory. Gus lived to be 30 and
passed away last November. He was a good old boy.
