He’s a puppy! Reddish fur, white face. Half Cavalier King Charles Spaniel, half poodle.

Which is the best name?

We can't possibly decide without a cute puppy photo Wink

gallicgirl · 20/10/2017 13:17

Thank Christ for that!

Zeus I think.

Chaffinch4 · 20/10/2017 13:23

Albus. Glad it isn't a baby...

Montacute · 20/10/2017 13:25

Ziggy. For sure.

When you step barefoot in a puddle of cold puppy wee during the night it will be much more satisfying to say 'oh zi-GGY,' than 'Zeus'. You need that second syllable for times of frustration.

Montacute · 20/10/2017 13:26

And yes, where the hell is the photo??!! Upload at once please! Smile

TerrifyingFeistyCupcake · 20/10/2017 13:27

Oh thank FUCK.

I vote Ziggy. I'd cross Oakley off your list entirely, unless it's always been your life's dream to pay homage to an overpriced sunglasses brand.

DiegoMadonna · 20/10/2017 13:28

Not sure Zeus is quite right for a Spaniel/Poodle cross Grin

Not a fan of Oakley at all, so for me it's Albus or Ziggy. I'll go with Ziggy because I'm a big Bowie fan Grin

Here he is. He’s only three weeks old. Not coming home for five weeks but the family we are getting him from are desperate for us to name him.

He looks the colour of autumn leaves to me which is why I liked Oakley (means Oak tree meadow).

Ziggy, Zeus, Albus or Oakley?

Definitely looks like a Ziggy to me.

ChocolateCrunch · 20/10/2017 13:51

Albus or Oakley! Sooo cute!

bimbambom · 20/10/2017 13:52

Ziggy such a naughty name

danTDM · 20/10/2017 13:52

Ziggy!
A sweetie.

WildCherryBlossom · 20/10/2017 13:55

Ziggy or Oakley. Doesn’t bear any resemblance to Albus Dumbledore (that might be one he could grow into) and as pp said the single syllable of Zeus doesn’t work somehow.

(Thank goodness it’s not a human baby!)

albus55 · 20/10/2017 13:56

I have an Albus so that gets my vote and Albi is a cute nickname :)

Montacute · 20/10/2017 14:02

Oh he’s adorable. I would love to give him a smooshy cuddle.

Doggington · 20/10/2017 14:03

HA HA wildcherry. Its my daughter whose plumping for Albus. I pointed out the lack of any resemblemce to Dumbledore and suggested he’s more of a Weasley. But none of us are sold on a puppy called Ron!

Oh my goodness, me heart just melted at the sight of him! What a little darling, quite clearly looks like a Ziggy to me Smile

muminthecity · 20/10/2017 14:04

*my heart, not me heart. I am not Danny Dyer Grin

InfiniteSheldon · 20/10/2017 14:05

Phew that was a headline and a half!!

Awwlookatmybabyspider · 20/10/2017 15:04

OMG. He's beyond adorable. I bet you can't wait for him to join your family.
He looks like an Oakley.

Awwlookatmybabyspider · 20/10/2017 15:05

Awwwwwww. Ron would be so cute

CalmanOnSpeeddial · 20/10/2017 15:06

HE has to be Ziggy, he’s got a lightening strike down his face and everything.

Alittlepotofrosie · 20/10/2017 15:10

Aww little ronnie would be cute!

Otherwise ziggy or oakley.

SweetChickadee · 20/10/2017 15:12

phew...

Actually, Weasley is quite a good puppy name too.

of your list I like Oakley best.

Awwlookatmybabyspider · 20/10/2017 15:12

I just want to eat his teeny weeny paws
