Puppy name inspiration, please?

[MuseumOfYou]

We are picking this little chap up next weekend. Despite his colour, he is a golden retriever/poodle cross. He's bold and chunky.
DH wants to call him Bernard but DD and I aren't convinced but can offer no compelling alternative at the moment.

How about Bertie.

What a cute puppy! He looks like a Merlin to me 🤷🏼‍♀️

Bernard is a fab dog name

I also like Bernard. And Bernie. He's gorgeous!!!!

Funnily enough, Bertie is exactly what my DD would like. But my DH thinks its a bit ordinary.

Oh my giddy aunt, he is gorgeous. Barnaby? Brian? Bosley? Hobson?

I like Bernard though - did you ever read Not Now, Bernard? It was one of my DS's fave books when he was little.

Loved the book but not entirely convinced re the puppy! Like Barney though.

What about a festive name?
Figgy??

Cedric.

Currently mulling over Norman, Stanley or Fletcher at the moment!

Fletcher is fab!

Does he look like a Hector?

Oh my heart. Gorgeous boy. You can see the bits of gold in him.
Bernard is a fab name for a dog.
However in answer to your question.
He could be a Hector.

Other ideas.
Trevor. Cedric. Billy. Basil. Norman. Maurice. Larry. Mac. Alan. Gabriel. Harry. Casper. Ronnie. Jimmy. Dougie. George. Tommy.
Nicholas. Andrew. Clive. Teddy. Albie. Jeremy. Dan. Louie.

I have a Bertie it's a great dog name. He is often Bertius.

Love Fletcher, Dexter or Bob

Thanks for the suggestions: Larry made me smile! I'm also wondering about Desmond.

12 year old DD wants something more traditionally doggy, so I think it's going to be an interesting family discussion.

DS's name is amongst those suggested plus the CEO of the small company that employs me, I'm almost tempted just for the lols.

Latest pic attached. The breeder is a terrible photographer.

Hagrid

Squidge

Harry

Albus

Scruff

Boris

Boris - in other circumstances possibly but definitely not at the moment!!

DD has now suggested Eddie. She says she's never heard of a dog being called that before. Frasier has obviously passed her by.

What about Bertram? He could be Bertie for short.

Or:
Treacle
Truffle
Fido (totally trad doggy name ;))

A decision has been reached; he will henceforth be known as Digby.

Awwwwwww. Hi Baby Digby.

Aw, Digby does suit him.

Thanks! Am winding my 12 year old DD up by decreeing I shall refer to him informally as Diggers, she's outraged!

He’s gorgeous. Basil!

Can I suggest Mutley? I've alway loved it - and the reference to the old cartoon adds to the charm.

Good name as dogs only listen to the first syllable (why lots of working dogs are Tam, Max, Finn, Win, Jess, Sam) and Dig isn't a word you are likely to be saying in other sentences.
