Foster pup is a 10 week old Pitbull pup (not in UK) with sugically removed tail and ears poor little git. He has been named "Carrot" because, to a 10 year old boy, apparently "his bum looks like the end of a carrot". We want to find him a good home and want to give him a respectable name to make up for his ghastly start. he will probably go the the US.
I thought it may be nice to offer his naming as a tribute to the AIBU people who make my working day go faster and have made me a (slightly) better person.

NB, I didn't cut off his tail or ears nor did I choose the breed. he is a charming little thing who was bought by some git for fighting. they land on my doorstep and what to do?

Sorry to bring the thread down, but choose their favourite poster Hmm???

FGS, it's like reliving the bad bits of secondary school on here sometimes.

FWIW, I've chosen my favourite poster, so think the puppy should be called Vesti.

clinkingIceCubes · 31/01/2013 13:20

ah, was going to say ChristFenton, or Fenton anyway....

ChazsBrilliantAttitude · 31/01/2013 13:20

Troll
(nickname Roley?)

The one time you could legitimately call troll on an AIBU thread

CaptChaos · 31/01/2013 13:21

I like Chaos, would be an ace name for a dog Grin

MorrisZapp · 31/01/2013 13:22

Can't think of a better name for a puppy than Zapp.

Pagwatch · 31/01/2013 13:23

But wasn't the op just looking for a good puppy name rather than anything else?

AnyFucker is a fine poster but I doubt she thinks she is my fav poster.
It's just good mumsnet =puppy names isn't it?

RooneyMara · 31/01/2013 13:23

Oh poor little mite! I can't imagine a dog with no tail or ears Sad

That's making me cry a bit

Fenton · 31/01/2013 13:23

MsVestibule

I took it to mean favourite poster name rather than the favourite poster, otherwise I would be suggesting KeemaNaanAndCurryOn or NorksAreMessy and they would just be silly names for a dog.

My favourite was Fillyjonk but she's disappeared since years ago now.

Hullygully · 31/01/2013 13:24

I have a dog named after me deja

Pagwatch · 31/01/2013 13:25

Pointydog would have been a good name but given that poor pup has no pointy bits left it might be insensitive.

Fenton · 31/01/2013 13:25

x-post with Pag

I am not stalking you sweetcheeks, honest Wink

TheVermiciousKnid · 31/01/2013 13:25

How about Mitmoo?

Alternatively, just call him Mumsnet.

Of course, Knid would be an excellent name too. :)

FancyPuffin · 31/01/2013 13:26

Puffin!

Bet he looks a bit like one Grin

Very nice of you to rescue him OP.

MsVestibule · 31/01/2013 13:26

If the OP meant favourite poster name, then that is fine, I will step off my high horse with good grace Wink.

Pagwatch · 31/01/2013 13:27

I believe you Fenton.

This is like a specialist thread for you and Hully with the whole mumsnet/doggy name crossovers.

Inertia · 31/01/2013 13:28

BuppyPuppy is a great name, but then have to say I'm also quite tickled (see what I did there?) by the idea of calling him KenDodd'sDad'sDog.

Or even just Ken Dog.

WorraLiberty · 31/01/2013 13:28

I was thinking Mitmoo! Grin

But I think Buppy the Puppy is brilliant.

HoneyDragon · 31/01/2013 13:33

All the best doggies are named after Mnetters. And if you have agog named after you it means you are an amazing Mnetter Wink

I quite like Buppy puppy

You could name him after one of our boys too

Pan
Beardy Puppy
Beta Puppy
TiggyD
Or Ninja Puppy.

HoneyDragon · 31/01/2013 13:34

A dog

theodorakisses · 31/01/2013 13:35

Mitmoo has now entered the race. BTW, Theo has asked it to be known that he is a human not a bird, cat, monkey or dog (our menagerie)

Nork is a contender too
