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)

Name my puppy

Liquorice (but must be pronounced Lickrish!)

I’m a big fan of retro names - Fido, Rex, etc.

fido is Latin for faithful.

or what about an old school Rover?

No name yet! I have a shortlist of ones I like. We’re not picking him up until tomorrow evening and we haven’t actually met him in person yet, only by a video viewing as he’s quite far away. So by Thursday Puppy No Name will have a name. Probably 🤣

He looks so sweet, yet I think Scruffy would suit him, sorry about that Op.

Of your suggested names, I like Pickle.

He’s so cute and tiny. More pics please!

I always thought if I have a dog I shall call him Rover! Once so ubiquitous, now rarer than hen's teeth. Or Fido, always a nice one.

As an aside @TraineeOT I also knew a dog called Trip, a little JRT. It really suited him!
