He’s a puppy! Reddish fur, white face. Half Cavalier King Charles Spaniel, half poodle.

Which is the best name?

We can't possibly decide without a cute puppy photo Wink

Thank Christ for that!

Zeus I think.

Albus. Glad it isn't a baby...

Ziggy. For sure.

When you step barefoot in a puddle of cold puppy wee during the night it will be much more satisfying to say 'oh zi-GGY,' than 'Zeus'. You need that second syllable for times of frustration.

Oh thank FUCK.

I vote Ziggy. I'd cross Oakley off your list entirely, unless it's always been your life's dream to pay homage to an overpriced sunglasses brand.

Not sure Zeus is quite right for a Spaniel/Poodle cross Grin

Not a fan of Oakley at all, so for me it's Albus or Ziggy. I'll go with Ziggy because I'm a big Bowie fan Grin

Here he is. He’s only three weeks old. Not coming home for five weeks but the family we are getting him from are desperate for us to name him.

He looks the colour of autumn leaves to me which is why I liked Oakley (means Oak tree meadow).

Ziggy, Zeus, Albus or Oakley?

Ziggy or Oakley. Doesn’t bear any resemblance to Albus Dumbledore (that might be one he could grow into) and as pp said the single syllable of Zeus doesn’t work somehow.

(Thank goodness it’s not a human baby!)

I have an Albus so that gets my vote and Albi is a cute nickname :)

Oh he’s adorable. I would love to give him a smooshy cuddle.

HA HA wildcherry. Its my daughter whose plumping for Albus. I pointed out the lack of any resemblemce to Dumbledore and suggested he’s more of a Weasley. But none of us are sold on a puppy called Ron!

HE has to be Ziggy, he’s got a lightening strike down his face and everything.
