What's your favourite name for a dog? I'm getting a puppy soon (a red toy poodle) and thinking of a name for him. My shortlist at the moment is Sunny, Jupiter, Magnus or Cosmo but am open to all suggestions. Thanks Smile

Surely just Red? Maybe Redmond on Sundays?

I like Red, but it does remind me of the Russian cook from Orange is the New Black! Love the idea of him having a formal name though.

my dog you never forget was my cairn terrier and his name was Skips

My dog’s name is Riley. He is a rescue so we didn’t name him, but I do think it’s a nice name. If we had named him he would have been Leo. We also discussed the names Charlie, Alfie, Morty and Cosmo when trying to choose a name for a dog. So obviously I like Cosmo from your list. I also like Sunny.

I must be really old. Red just reminds me of "Cast your cares away, worry's for another day".

BulldogMumma · 16/03/2024 21:36

Maybe name him after a famous redhead, or red item..

Vince (Vincent Van Gogh)
Ziggy (Stardust)
Pepper
Copper
Rogan (Irish for red headed)
Fennec (type of fox)
Rojo (Spanish for red)
Rowan (Gaelic for 'little red one')

Red would be perfect.

I like 'real' names for male dogs. Like Bertie, Dave, Jim, Patrick...

Red is a good name. Never come across a pet called red
