Will you help me name my dog?

I adopted him last week from the rescue centre. I think he’s a lab crossed with a viszla. He’s very tall, about 9 months old. I don’t like the name he came with, he doesn’t respond to it anyway. Here’s some names I like

Rolo
Bertie
Reg

i can’t think of any more!

Jeffrey. Jeff for short

I'm glad you spelled "Jeffrey" with a "J".

"Geoffrey" is an abomination.

(I still like Horris, but Raffles (@Bornonsunday ) is also good)

Billy.

I like non-human names so,

Raffles
Sherlock
Buster
Dusty

Well they probably are occasionally human names but very rarely!

He is very handsome and I think he has the name Ernest written all over him.

He’s so cute. I think he looks like a Norman.

Coffeesnob11 · 22/12/2023 22:53

He looks like a humphrey to me. He is lovely. Have fun.

Youregoingthewrongway · 22/12/2023 22:52

Gorgeous pup! He looks like the dog version of Alexander Skarsgard. So how about something like Axel, Erik or Jensen?

Fletcher

Suede - his coat looks lovely and soft

Oh no, he definitely doesn't look like a Gully (wtf?) He looks like an Oscar to me but Bertie is also lovely.

Well the Viszla is Hungarian, so you might get some inspiration there (eg Zoltan). I really like Ragnar for reasons I can't explain (it's Scandinavian). He's a beautiful dog who could carry a dignified name.

Samson. Sammy for short.

He’s lovely!

Mumof2NDers · 22/12/2023 22:04

Oooh he’s gorgeous 😍. It took
us ages to choose a name for our Staffy. I won…. He’s called Buddy x

Stanley or Rupert

NoisyDachshunddd · 22/12/2023 21:49

I’m in camp Bertie out of those names. He looks lovely.

The stealing stuff definitely sounds like a lab and I reckon i can see some Saluki or other coursing dog in there too. Which might also explain the long legs.

LadyLolaRuben · 22/12/2023 21:47

Hugo, Monty, Bailey, Henry, Otis, Ben

Hes a beauty

He’s a Christmas dog so why not Holly? Or Noel? Or name him after one of Santa’s reindeer like Comet or Dasher?
