To name my puppy this?

I have a tiny red cockerpoo called Wilma. Not elfin I know but it suits her and she has excellent recall

Was going to say Disa or Vixe, but I think Nori is the best yet!

I like Faelywn

1. I need a picture
2. When we got our dog we wanted to do a human name, settled for Rosie, Rosemary when in trouble or just generally doing too much. DH though was set on Janice and I kind of regret it now because it would have been fabulous in all ways shapes and forms so I’m putting Janice into the mix 😂

Also just to add there's nothing whimsical and feminine about our ruby, she looks the part as she's very very cute and she's tiny (due to abuse and neglect) but she eats dead birds and anything else she can get her teeth on, she humps our bigger male dog, she burps loudly after eating like a human adult man and makes pig noises when she sleeps. We love her to pieces

What’s the w for then?
It doesn’t matter because it won’t be written down a lot, but it looks weird to have a w and not pronounce it. I’d pronounce the second half Luh-win probably or more like loin. Not Lynn.

Are you at all interested in discovering the actual character of your new pup? What is they turn out to be the Azog of the spaniel world?

The danger in projecting your own fantasies to this extent is if you're then less able to notice and respond to their actual personality, nature, needs.

you need to go to the nearest park and call one of the names out loud, many times. Then go up to strangers and ask them if they have seen your dog xxx. Then go to the vets/groomers and book an appointment for dog xxx.

There are very good reasons why dogs are called Max, Billy, Rover etc.

Have you considered Spot, Fluffy or Rover?

You could even combine them for something more unique.

Spluffer
Rovuffot

Apologies, I HRTWT. As someone who works in the dog industry, choose a name that you won’t mind repeating several times a day during the puppy period.
Everyone will ask you the name and if it’s unusual then you will have to explain the spelling, where it’s from and why you chose that name. Lovely, but becomes very tedious (and your pup will be giving nothing away ☺️)

I fully understand why owners choose Ted, Max, Poppy etc..
Congratulations on your new pup 🐾

That's the joy of naming pets - you can call them what you like! The dog doesn't have any conception of whether it has a good / silly / boring / whatever name.

It won't get teased at school.

It won't have people making assumptions about it in court / at job interviews.

It won't have to spell it's name out every time it calls a utility company...

Just choose what makes you happy!!

I have a rescue ruby cav and tbh I don't think any of your names suit them 😬 but no one will care what your dog is called and the dog definitely won't care so as long as you like the name that's all that matters.

coming back to it again and seeing other people attempting to spell it - do you mean Faelwyn rather than Faelywn? The fact you said an alternative spelling would be Faelwen also makes we wonder. Faelwyn would be pronounced Fail - Win and sound less like failing. But not much less of shouted into the wind.

Bloody dug is the most common name for the mutts in my house.

Mum lives close to that exact park. {Pic of the location}
Deer often gather at that part of the park, between Sheen and Richmond Gate..I take no chances this close to deer.

I love Faelywn! My puppy is called Freya but once we got recall down (kinda almost. We don't let her off leash unless in an enclosed space because I get too anxious but when I want her to come she listens. She doesn't listen to my DH though 😂) we started calling her nicknames, we have loads but have discovered today that she likes habibi! So random, not a word I've ever said and not something she hears but if she likes it what can I do, haha.

Good luck with your puppy when you get her, I hope you come back and post some photos 😊.

They all sound fine, and Faelwyn is pretty.

For a dog the only rules are (a) to make sure it is short and stacatto as a dog will not respond to a name that is hard for it to distinguish from other words, and (b) would you be comfortable yelling it at the top of your voice.

On both counts, you're good.

Post pics.

As a fellow Cavi owner…good luck! Theyre beautiful and glorious but also complete shits.

I’d go with a two syllable name you can shout. (I say that and you’ll think it’s because of recall or something but my boys were/are fab at that…not eating cat poo however….a two syllable name is what you want…

Desi is a really lovely name. ❤️

I was thinking you need a proper dog’s name you can shout into a wind, like Shep or Bess or Spot. But she’s a gorgeous King Charles Cavalier and deserves a whimsical, ethereal name.
Until, of course, you need to shout it into a wind, or across a field to recall.

I too have heard thug type names lead to thug dogs- probably because training isn't done well 'Tyson' is one that comes to mind.

'Give a dog a bad name'..

But there are some very dog aggressive ''Millies'' about for some reason.
Labradors.

Just think what it will sound like when you call it in the park. Whatever it is the dog will be happy. If you like the name you will be happy. None of your choices sound stupid.
just don't call it Fenton.

Cute! Maybe see which works well when you’re yelling it across a park?!

I think you're loading a lot of fanciful human meaning and expectation onto a single individual of another species!

My advice is to ask the first small child you meet for a name. They will suggest Red or Doggy or Floppy Ears or Smelly Poo or somesuch, which will hopefully bring you back to earth.

Remember to audition your new shortlist by calling them aloud repeatedly in public places :)

No one is going to write your dog's name so it doesn't matter how it's spelt.
They'll just listen to what you say and copy you.

It's an unusual name but if you like it then go with it.
