Help required to name a Leonberger. Apply within.

NC. We've had to name Leonbergers before but we're struggling this time. She's a girl and we're looking for something that trips off the tongue for calling and would really suit a Leonberger specifically, rather than a more general dog name. TIA.

Tiny/Titch
We've always been very much a giant dogs family, and they all get called Titch ironically, at one time or another - usually when they're taking up too much room, as in 'move yourself, Titch'!

@catandbabymama

I thought your surname was Leonberger and you wanted baby names at first

This is pretty close to the case!

Nan. Or Connie/Constance.

And can I second (third) the request for puppy pictures, please!

We are going to need pictures to enable us to give her the correct name

Nana, the dog in Peter Pan.
Nice, but unfortunately a Saint Bernard!

Nana, the dog in Peter Pan. Nice, but unfortunately a Saint Bernard!

Not a St Bernard! A Landseer Newfoundland. Canonically.

I bow-wow to your Peter Pan knowledge, @GrouchyKiwi . A relative at least.

So just me thinking this was a job to name new menu items at Leon then?

Nope me too! I clicked hoping we might win vouchers as a prize

@MintyGreenDream

Duchess. Queenie. Majesty.

These would give her ideas above her station and she already has quite enough already!

Big Bertha
I quite like Bertha but I think the Big prefix would be unnecessary, as in 'pointing out the obvious'!

Tiddler

But definitely a big tiddler.

Nala, of course!

If not looking for a lion type name - Daya, Gertie, Hettie

I like

Lulu

Helga, or Gertie!

when she's a bit mischievous There's no when or a bit about it...

I really want a Helga

Some great suggestions so far - many thanks to everyone.

Some we have already thought of, some not, and one or two already used!

With one or two exceptions so far, we're probably leaning towards a leonine or German-origin name, probably of two syllables or able to be shortened or extended to two syllables nicely.

I'm going to go through the thread and make a Long List, then we'll need to get that down to a Short List...and then The One.

Inspired by the recent film and thread about it....

LEDA (lai-da)

Leda the leonburger is kind of nice.
