AIBU to ask you all to think of some names to call the Border collie puppy we're about to pick up ? :)

[LST]

Just that really! Me and DP can't think! Too excited :)

Has to be Brock loving that suggestion.

I now also want a dog called Ludo.

Is he with you yet?

Yea he's here. He was really timid as he was in a barn and hasn't really been socialised. But he's now crashed out as he's been chasing my cats and DS

our working dogs all have short, one syllable names that can be shouted over a long distance, but these are invariably lengthened as another poster described to a hissed or bellowed 'king bstrd

Colin or Nigel.

My sisters border collies are called Moss and Bracken

Our collie is Dave. Everybody round here knows Dave. Steve or Barry are excellent choices unless he is a she in which case I'd call her Dolly the collie. Hth.

He could be a Barney Bubbles.

Or a Ludo 'cos he's always up for a game

Or a Merlin the magician who's brought a touch of magic into your lives.

Give it a few days and he'll tell you his name will come to you.

I'd go for one of the more 'traditional' Border Collie names as they are lovely and really suit BCs -

Fly
Moss
Bracken
Clancy
Jem
Joss
Bryn
Tam
Rex

Finn

Acording to google translate border is Ffin in Welsh. But can you trust google translate?

Mine is called Meg but I realise that is unhelpful as yours is a boy, I just wanted to join in

John. He should definitely e called John.

I knew someone with two dogs called Banger and Bones. And someone with a cat called Spider. I like odd animal names because of those.

Any name yet op? Name the hound!

What have you called him?

Euphemia Yes... "Shagger". Local farm sheep dog that is allowed to wander and mates everything female that has a pulse. His proper name is "Kip", but everyone local calls him "shagger". Or they did until I eventually caught him and presented him back to his owner minus his balls.

come on, LST, you MUST have chosen one from my list by now!

I had a bc called Teal as a child

Whats his name! Arrrrrf!

When I was a kid we had a border collie called Tabor which is a black and white drum...it suited him perfectly :)

I am just watching our new collie cross pup chase our old collie round the garden - Old dog is Acorn, new pup is Tigger.
