I know it’s not a baby name but we seriously need help before the DCs spontaneously combust. Puppy is male, we haven’t been allocated which one yet but it’ll either be a golden or liver spaniel. He’s going to be working as an assistance dog, DD has speech & language disorder so it needs to be easy to pronounce.

I like but we can’t use:
Arthur
Charlie
Ernie
Bertie

DCs like but I don’t:
Arnold
Milo
Gary Confused

I like but DCs don’t:
Copper
Percy

Help!!

Another vote for Eric. Or Ernie, to channel the famous duo!

SoThisisMe · 24/06/2021 18:48

Babblebee my DP wanted Keith for a boy, thankfully we ended up with a girl so I didn't have to put my foot down.
I also loved Percy, great name!

BabbleBee · 24/06/2021 18:48

@Happenchance I like Tate and Tucker from your list

DD wants Basil to be on the shortlist

Arnie since you like Arnold or is it the ‘is’ sound she struggles with?

BabbleBee · 24/06/2021 18:52

DD can say both Arnie and Arnold. Her ‘s’ sounds aren’t easy, especially when blended. Percy trips her up a bit which is a shame because that’s my favourite!

If we had a girl puppy I wanted Enid.

Oh I love Dougie. That would have been my choice for our puppy if one of DS’s best friends wasn’t called Douglas!

BabbleBee · 24/06/2021 21:14

Dougie - pronounced ‘Duggy’ or ‘Doogie’?

Otis is cute. Wasn’t that a cartoon puppy?
