New puppy needs a name....

[Maine-ah]

Rottie/black lab - we pick her up on the 30th.

[In_The_Wind]

1. Big foot

She looks so sweet.

[Maine-ah]

2. the girl does have a great set of paws...

Though we have a tendency to stick to people names. Our last girl passed away last month at 15 years of age. Her name was Olivia, the one before that was Allie....I'm having a tough time with this little one.

[In_The_Wind]

6. My Goldens were Lord Byron, Lady Leigh, Chloe, Bronson ...

My old Persian was Willamina. I never called an animal spot although I did have one Midnight.


How about Hathaway?

[johnp3907]

44. Patty.

It's a Bigfoot reference, but a people name too.

[Arugula Latte]

40. We had a polydactyl kitty. She was Sasquatch -- Sassy for short.

[Auntie Bush]

77. After reading all the names...I like Sassy (Sasquatch, for Big Foot) the best!

Clever idea or name!

[Arugula Latte]

79. Aw, thanks!

[2theleft]

3. My boxer is Carly...

and that name fits her.

My first "grown up" dog was Scout, after To Kill a Mockingbird. Great dog name.

I also like Izzie, Sophie, and Lucy for girlie pups! Oh, and Lexie.

ETA - She is PRECIOUS. I want to snuggle her and get pupply kisses!!!

[Maine-ah]

5. she's a snuggle bug

and loves kisses...she's been completely manhandled by three young children, fed and loved by them. Total sweetie. I like the name Sophie...and I had suggested it, but hubby doesn't like it - I wish I could do Lucy, but it's taken by a friend's dog.

[Arugula Latte]

18. Sophie is super popular for female dogs.

I know so many dogs named Bella, Lucy, Bailey, Zoe, etc. I personally like names that aren't quite as common, but, in a way ... who cares, right?

Top female dog names:
1. Bella
2. Molly
3. Lucy
4. Maggie
5. Daisy
6. Sophie
7. Sadie
8. Chloe
9. Bailey
10. Lola
11. Zoe
12. Abby
13. Ginger
14. Roxy
15. Gracie

[marzipanni]

70. The name Carly brought to mind this book, have you seen it?

If you haven't , let me say I think your daughter would love it, and the others in the series.

Gabrielle
Tabitha

[Chan790]

8. Don't go with Puppy.

My friend had a kitten she named "Kitten". Kitten is now 15, fat, lame, smells funny, pukes everywhere and is preternaturally old. The name seems more ironic joke than one-time bad-idea at this point.

[Demoiselle]

9. Belle.

[livetohike]

10. Cleo - and she is a beauty!

What fun you are going to have with her .

[LWolf]

[Tuesday Afternoon]

13. Ebony

Sarah.

[Phentex]

15. I was thinking that too!

and call her Ebbie.

After she chews something: "EBONY JANE, get in here!"

When calling for a treat, "Here, Ebbie! Good girl!"

[Tuesday Afternoon]

16. I like it - Ebony Jane and Ebby for short ... wonder what they will name her?

she has the sweetest eyes

[MrScorpio]

14. Jet nt

[KG]

26. too late, that name's taken

[IrishEyes]

28. Cute dog.

[Arugula Latte]

17. Jellybean.

[Raffi Ella]

19. AW! She is so cute~

A friend of mine got a black lab and named her Blue. I love that name for a black dog.

I have a 'Sophie' now and had a 'Mollie' before her. I like names that end with 'ie' or 'y'. Katie, Emmy, Abby, Charlie, Sammie, Bennie, Nelly, Dolly, Daisy, Mazie or Millie or Marnie, Lily. I also like Lulu and Lola, they sort of sound like Lucy.

[Maine-ah]

20. my picks

my picks...

Sophie
Charlie (short for Charlotte)
Ella
Sammy
Lola
Roxie (Short for Roxanne, yeah, I thought it would be fun calling her with that name - think Sting)

My brother's contribution: Diogi (d-o-g)

Husband doesn't like any of my picks

[orleans]

(thanks for letting me play! fun game. cute baby. congrats)

[Raffi Ella]

69. ha, Roxie would be perfect for her!

And Ella is GORgeous. What names has your husband suggested since he doesn't like any of those? Elsa might be cute or CoCo. You guys should look up names together online. That's what I did and as soon as I saw Sophie that was it. Luckily it suits her, but Charlie would have been really cute for her too.

[roguevalley]

21. Rosebud. Worked on my brother's basset. :D

[LoveMyCali]

22. First of all, she's beautiful!

My sister used to have a black spaniel mix named Cleo. She was a great dog and a real character. I now have an all black cat named Raven.

[Maine-ah]

24. hehehe...

my daughter's name is Raven

[LoveMyCali]

36. So,

I could see how that could be confusing if the dog was named Raven too.

[RavensChick]

71. She is such a cutie!

I had 3 dogs when I was younger of different breeds, and they were named Fluffy, Fellow, and Hombre respectively. I loved them all very much and to this day I still think of them fondly.

I've been a cat mommy since 2010 and guess what? His name is Raven! He's a tabby and so sweet. I guess Raven is getting pretty popular among cat names, lol!

[LoveMyCali]

73. My two cats are named Raven and Symone

The joke was that when I got Symone my boy Cali (as in LoveMyCali) wasn't a cute little kitten any more so like on the Cosby Show when Rudy hit the akward years they brought in the younger, cuter Raven Symone. Then when Cali crossed the rainbow bridge a friend gave me an all black kitten who naturally became Raven.

[mia]

23. I like Lila -

or Helen, after Helen Thomas

[Ilsa]

25. How about Magie Noire? "Black Magic"

Blanche! Blanca! Because she's not!

[IrishEyes]

27. Sadie

She's adorable.

[MiddleFingerMom]

29. MiddleFingerMom.

[MuseRider]

30. I had a dearly loved female lab

that my kids named Tootie. It turned out to be a really good name. She looked like yours, that extra sweet face. Bet you can't wait!

[solara]

[Bertha Venation]

37. She's beautiful.

Why do you have to wait until the 30th?

Florence (not to be shortened to "Flo&quot or Maggie May.

[Maine-ah]

60. she's only 6 weeks old

Owners want to be sure she's fully weaned - which they seem to be, Mamma dog doesn't want anymore to do with them, and owners are including first vet check and shots which happen this week.

[Bertha Venation]

65. That is a six-week-old puppy?!

She's huge! Wow.

[Maine-ah]

66. she's going to be a big girl...

Last edited Mon Jul 22, 2013, 07:22 AM - Edit history (1)

both parents are big - dad is a rottie, mom is a lab and big for her size. I expecting at least 80-90 lbs by the time she's full grown.


on edit...

I wrote "big for her size" - lol....I meant big for her breed.

[lastlib]

38. "Laika"--Russian word for "barker"

Laika was the name of the dog the Soviets launched into orbit in November, 1957, the first animal in space.

Although you could also name it "Bigfoot"--OMG, look at the size of that paw!

[Maine-ah]

61. how do you pronounce that?

is it "Lake - ah" ?

and yeah...she's got some crazy paws, lol

[lastlib]

68. "Lie-kuh"

[MADem]

86. Very popular name in Europe for dogs. I feel bad every time I hear it, as we know,

Laika didn't make it home.

She did get put on a stamp, though.

[marzipanni]

39. What a lovely little beastie!

Last edited Tue Jul 23, 2013, 01:16 AM - Edit history (1)

Layla (or Leyla) means dark beauty, and she is that!

I knew a wonderful black lab-rottweiler named Annie, but she got that name because she was at the elementary school every day and several people tried to locate her owner but were unsuccessful. Then the couple next door decided to adopt her and she was given the name "Annie" (as in "Little Orphan Annie&quot

Ursula means bear- her nickname could be Ursi or Suli.

Edit to add add- Acadia, but call her Cady or Cadie.

[femmocrat]

41. Norah.

She is a Norah.

[LeftofObama]

42. OMG! Adorable!

My picks:

Katie
Daisy
Annie
Patsy

[ZombieHorde]

52. Satan. nt

[ConcernedCanuk]

53. Robbie

.
.
.

A derivative of Rottie and black lab

A 2-syllable name for a dog is very useful - different inflections on the last syllable makes it clear whether you are pleased or not, and assists in "fetching" them when they wander out out site.

The dog I grew up with from birth to the age age of 15 was named Lady (and she was for all her 17 years).

when she wandered, we would call - Ladyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy!

Hard to do that with a name like bigfoottttttttttttttttt.

If she follows you around a lot

consider Shadow . . .

shadows are black

CC

[MH1]

54. Bucky.

I have no idea, that's just what popped in my mind when I saw the picture. He looks like a "Bucky" to me.

[vanlassie]

55. Shirley

Or Lucinda.

[RiffRandell]

56. I like your pick Roxi.

She's adorable! We were in Maine a few weeks ago...it was almost as hot as GA but we still had fun!

[Maine-ah]

62. it's still that hot...

we're melting up here. Ridiculous. I like the name Roxi

[HeiressofBickworth]

57. Way back in the dark ages,

my first dog, a long-hair black girl of indiscriminate heritage, was named Miss Muffett or "Muffie" for short. Loved that dog. It not a name heard often and generally works with little kids, I suppose.

After Muffie we had Ginger, a ginger-colored boxer.

My next dog, after I became an adult, was a black poodle named Tinkerbell. Tink has been gone for about 30 years now and sometimes I think of her. I used to keep her picture on the mantle -- to remind me why I don't want another dog. She was loving, but got into everything. Very high maintenance. She loved to spread garbage from the kitchen all over the house. She could open cabinet doors and get into things. No matter how many times I let her outside to do her business before I left the house, she always managed to save a few tablespoons to deposit at the front door when I left -- even if I only went out to the mail box. Yes, the stories I could tell about this girl. Her best joke was the time she slept in my closet on my pile of dirty clothes and one morning had a puppy. Just one. Don't know how she even got pregnant as the back was all fenced and she wasn't allowed out to roam. We called the puppy Surprise.

As fondly as I remember them, I don't want another dog. We have 4 cats in the house and it just wouldn't work.

[BainsBane]

58. Sophie

Or May Bell

[hobbit709]

63. My little high energy monster is Marcy

[pink-o]

64. Rory... Short for Rorschach (as in ink blot)

I had a Bombay kitty as black as coal, and I called her that. But I mostly referred to her as Dark Matter, the Black Hole, and Negative Space. Any of those work! I love black dogs, black cats and black birds. Just gorgeous.

[Taverner]

67. Abraham nt

[RavensChick]

72. Awww!

I would name her Stella, Shelly, Tia, or Carla.

[bluedigger]

74. Moxie.

It's wicked good, ayuh.

[Maine-ah]

84. I think my husband would love that.

I will mention that to him today.

If he likes that name, you win kisses and snuggles from the puppy...you just have to come to Maine to get your prize

[bluedigger]

87. It'll cost you a lobstah roll.

If I can even get theyah from heayah. Don't hold your breath...

[angel823]

75. hum...

Scout or Frida.

Angel in Texas

[trof]

78. Dogs respond best to one syllable names. Belle.

[Flaxbee]

80. Chernyy (Russian for the color black). You could drop the extra "y"

It'd probably be pretty unique! She's a doll, whatever her name will be...wish you could send me some eau de puppy breath!

[Marrah_G]

81. She looks like a Jenny to me.

Congrats on your new pup. Mine just turned 6 months

[Arnodyne10]

82. Quasha

Like Sasquatch...

[laundry_queen]

83. I had a black lab cross

Her name was Penny. She was the sweetest dog in the world but had to be put down at 5 months (long story - undetected birth defect). She looked so much like your puppy!


Some other girl dog names I like (some come from dogs in my life past and present)
Tasha
Mabel
Sammie
Rosie
Dotty
Amelia
Daisy
Martha
Maggie
Chloe
Kasey
Maple

Good luck with your new baby! I just got a new puppy a few weeks ago and she is the joy of our lives right now.

[MADem]

85. Call her what you want her to be--you want a sweet dog, call her Sugar. You want a playful dog,

call her Frisky.

But no matter what you name her, always tell her she's a good dog.

[Samantha]

88. Sable

from Wikipedia:

"The term has become a generic description for some black-furred animal breeds, such as sable cats or rabbits, and for the colour black in heraldry"

My personal opinion: this is the perfect name for your beautiful pet. I hope you consider it.

Sam

[brightone]

89. Rylee

means loyal companion.
