My puppy has no name - help

Wise mumsnetters. I’ve name changed for this so it doesn’t link back to any other posts.

We have a new female cockerpoo. She’s an absolute delight, but we have no name for her. We can’t agree on anything at all.

We aren’t keen on traditional dog names and like names that can have a longer and shorter version.

Shortlist has so far included:

Nell/Nellie
Flo/Florence
Juno/June
Bea/Beatrice
Pip/Pippa

Pippa was a front runner this afternoon but it feels wrong when we call her it.

Any ideas what she looks like?!

Beau/Bow or Boo (I’m not sure what Boo could be short for but it came to mind when I saw her pic)

I was going to say Maple but as you prefer proper names, Mabel.

Mabel?

Gloria because she is Glorious.

guineapig1 · 10/10/2020 21:40

Pippa is lovely!
Also Gwen short for Gwendoline
Cassie short for Cassandra or
Rosa short for Rosalie

Can you tell that our pets always have long (and middle!) names?!

She's gorgeous. I think she looks like a Penny or Dotty. God luck!

Good luck, obviously!

EnriqueTheRingBearingLizard · 10/10/2020 21:55

She looks like Maggie to me and it can easily give warmth in your voice, or be stern when you call, or tell her off. She’s gorgeous.
