We're collecting our new (and first!) dog on Tuesday. He is a 12 week old black lab and very sweet. I would like to give him a dog name as opposed to a child's name and I quite like the idea of naming after either a character from a book or a band. I also like foods and other animals species!
Current favourites:
Jem
Raisin
Otter
Inigo (yes, I know it's a proper name but it's more unusual iykwim).
tia

Oh yes, Guinness nice - I know a Swedish black cat called that.

Also used to know a gorgeous black horse called Murphy.

Murphy is good. Sounds like a name with character

Treacle?

Sooty
Sweep
Salem (black cat in Sabrina)

Maverick is good (along with Goose and Iceman).
Don't drink Guiness or Murphy's so no good.
What about something Scottish? Dh likes Ewan (we're currently watching the excellent Long Way Round but it's too real a name - I suggested Beamer instead )

Angus. I think that's Scottish.(I had a black cat called Angus.)

I didn't know you could change their kennel names, ours were swithin (born on st swithins day), blackberry and Highland Wesco. Def could have done with changed the last one.

FrenchGirl · 05/01/2006 17:29

Our Lakeland Terrier is called Mac! Great name for a macho dog like he is

monty

polly28 · 05/01/2006 17:37

my dog is called Happy

leggymamba · 05/01/2006 17:56

snap with the changing of kennel name. ruby's is nictonney rainbow - catchy!

like goose but can't imagen standing in a field shouting it!

Beamer's good but depends on where you live - could sound like you're naming the car driving by

cupcakes · 05/01/2006 17:58

I think he should be called Boden but dh is horrified

rummum · 05/01/2006 18:00

I also like Murphy... isn't that a dark guiness like drink...

QueSerahSerah · 05/01/2006 18:02

Prufrock · 05/01/2006 18:04

cupcakes · 05/01/2006 18:10
