New Pup Name Suggestions ...

It's looking likely that we will take on a rescue Springer Pup and although he has a name, we'll be changing it.

He has an all Liver (Brown) face and a white body and I've been trying to think if a suitable name. It needs to be a short, sharp name for calling him back when he bounds off into the distance (we've had several Springers so know what they are like )

The names I've shortlisted so far are

  1. Archie
  2. Alfie

But, I'd like to play on his all liver face if I can. DH suggested Deefa i.e. D for dog

Thanks ...

Elvis

That is what DS wanted to call our new pup - she is called Freddie though as a compromise.

..and if it you get a cocker spaniel next call it Joe or Jarvis.

I think 'Dave' us a BRILLIANT name but we have friends called Dave and it'd be a bit weird ...

Shouting 'Dave' after a runaway Springer would just be hilarious !!!

Yes, stick to your guns, tillyboo!

Why not order one of those personalised leads that says 'ARCHIE' all over it?

PuppyMonkey · 03/12/2008 09:17

Monkey.

PortlySackSantaInAdvent · 03/12/2008 09:18

Onion (as in LIver and...........)
Teaser - as in Malteaser

DingDongDisasterAreaOnHigh · 03/12/2008 09:54

Brown. because he is.

LittleB · 03/12/2008 11:59

Could call him after something brown, I like country names for working dogs, how about bracken, bramble or conker? I do like archie and alfie though! Mine are called rhubarb and thistle.

TheSeriousOne · 03/12/2008 12:22

I called my dog Doofus. I don't really recommend that one.

For me, Oscar, Charlie, Rufus are all good names.

But, if I had my time over, I'd call my dog DYSON cos he's a bloody HOOVER (Choc lab)

countingto10 · 03/12/2008 12:53

Colin

countingto10 · 03/12/2008 12:54

or Jeffery

TheSeriousOne · 03/12/2008 15:03

I like Colin!

My DH suggests Glen, Steve or Dave

WorzselMummage · 03/12/2008 15:09

Our Labs called Hugo, it really suits him.
