Name my puppy

Getting this little guy v soon and having an ongoing household debate about what to call him.

He’s a papillon x poodle, with 4 white paws, a white bib and white tip of his tail. He will be tiny when fully grown, about 3.5kg.

To complicate things I actually need two names for him as hopefully he’ll be doing agility, so he’ll need a kennel club name too. It would be nice to have his KC name and pet name connected in some way but that’s not a deal breaker.

I don’t want a human name, ideally.

What do you all reckon? (Uploading pic so it will hopefully eventually appear)

Some great suggestions, I like Pickle and Rocky. I love Noodle too but I have a client whose dog is called Noodle, so that’s off the table.

Titan? Hercules? Rambo?

Or following the black and white theme, Humbug?!

Are both parents non-KC reg?

If they are both KC reg then you can’t register them on the activity register for flyball etc (because the KC have them there money from maintaining a breed register to protect ;))

I was thinking above something ironically ‘big’ name wise for him as he’ll be so tiny.

His mum isn’t KC registered but as I understand it any dog whether pedigree or crossbreed can be registered on the activity register, as long as they’re not already registered through the breed register (which obviously he’s not being a cross breed).

I know you said not a human name but I'd be tempted to call him Bert after the chimney sweep from Mary Poppins.

Theonewiththewagglytail · 09/11/2025 01:21

Loving the suggestions so far! I really like Tux too but again I have a friend with a dog named Tux 😞.
