We’re adopting this gorgeous one.

We have decided to change her name.

I love 70s human names it appears-
She’s a very funny dog and has a wonderful personality not dissimilar to the mum from “Gavin & Stacey” hence the Pam

Family aren’t too keen on my suggestion of Pam and Barbara.

I know they’re perfectly lovely names but

Tilly
Molly
Milly
Lola
Maggie
Maisie
Bella
Rosie

Is what every other dog is called here and if you shout it you get 4 dogs coming back - cutesie names are out too.

Kids have helpfully suggested Dave and Barry 😂

Oh MN wise folk- hit me with suggestions please Smile

MsSquiz · 30/01/2019 12:29

With that hairdo, she has to be a Beverley/Bev!

Love Beverley!

Also Roy is amazing! He’s adorable Grin

Mulberryandthyme · 30/01/2019 12:36

I think she's called Tina

DaisyDreaming · 30/01/2019 12:38

Suits her and I love the gavin and Stacy reference, but I think you need a second name that rhymes like ‘no man Jan’ and all of Pamela’s friends

AngelontopoftheTree · 30/01/2019 12:40

My friend just called her new rescue dog Margaret, nick name Maggie. Which I think is the best name ever for a dog :)

SinglePringle · 30/01/2019 12:44

Pamela the Poodle. Obvs!!

NuffingChora · 30/01/2019 12:45

I think she’s a Margot.

NuffingChora · 30/01/2019 12:46

Or maybe Martha?

QueenCheese · 30/01/2019 12:48

A few brill suggestions here but that are family or close friends so they’d be a no.

Shirley suits her too Confused

But Pam the Poodle 😂😂

If I ever have a female dog (or surprise mid-life baby) I will call her Barbara. Smile

StrawberryBlondeRed · 30/01/2019 12:51

Pamela as in Pamela Anderson? No she does not look like a Pamela, OP.

MrsLettuce suggested Shirley, now that would suit her! It's the hairfur, reminds me of Shirley Valentine.

Farrah (as in Fawcett)
Paula
Doris
Rita
Susan

VenusClapTrap · 30/01/2019 12:52

Pam is perfect.

PeachRose · 30/01/2019 12:52

Margaret Wink

trulybadlydeeply · 30/01/2019 12:54

Oh, she's lovely! I think she's a Mabel.

trulybadlydeeply · 30/01/2019 12:54

Or Edna. She could be Eddie.

IamFrauBlucher · 30/01/2019 13:21

I'm in love with Roy. I hope it's short for Royston.

@QueenCheese unthinkable she looks like a bubbly Babs.

GreatDuckCookery6211 · 30/01/2019 13:22

Pamelaaaa. Do it.

FiggyFudgePot · 30/01/2019 13:45

Looks like Melissa

Or

Michelle = MeeeeShell

Ali1cedowntherabbithole · 30/01/2019 13:56

I'm leaning towards Barbara - come on Barbs has a ring to it.

Shadow1234 · 30/01/2019 15:51

Definitely not a Pamela.

I think she needs a cute name like Tessa or Dolly (to mTch her cute face).

Shadow1234 · 30/01/2019 15:51

*match

Awwlookatmybabyspider · 30/01/2019 15:58

I thought you were talking about a human baby before I opened the thread. I was ready to jump into my phone and eat her all up.

GrrrrrcuteaggressionattackGrin

Your dogs lovely, though. Yes she is a Pamela. She looks very glam and Pamela is quite a glamorous name.

QueenCheese · 30/01/2019 16:15

She is so glam

If she was a yooman she’d definitely wear long sparkly earrings and leopardskin!

She’s very very ditzy

Two of us like Shirley. Grin
