So we got our latest GSD at the weekend...

[SwearOft]

and we still can't think of a name for her She's a big fluffball (has sable legs but is mainly black) and so gorgeous but we just can't think of anything. I was just wondering if anyone could help out with any ideas? Thanks

Oh I don't know, but I bet she's gorgeous. Lucky you.

would need to see a picture! :)

Do you want a human name or a not human name? I think one or two syllable names work well, nothing too long. You might find that your dog refuses to acknowledge the name you prefer though, I know it took a few names before we made a definite decision.

FWIW our beautiful black lab x collie was called Treacle :)

pic :)

Thanks for replying, I'll go get a pic as soon as, just trying to juggle lunchtime at the minute

I added a couple of pics to my profile...hopefully you can see them ok!

OMG. She's lovely.

She looks like a Polly to me

She is so CUTE! Oh wow.

Sorry bumpybecky, we're not sure on whether to go for human or non...I look at her and just think giant furball! Treacle is a lovely name

She's so sweet and quiet (at the moment!).

Not sure if she looks like a Polly, will add it to my 'list' though then I'll try calling her everything on it and see if it fits lol

goodness me she's cute! I hadn't expected such a adorable fluffy thing

how old is she?

She looks like a Tasha to me.

Thanks DrNortherner, will add that one too

She's 9 weeks old and very fluffy, although we gave her another bath this morning so that probably made her extra fluffy today!

She looks a lot like my friend's GSD called Tiff (was originally Tiffany but Tiff suits her better).

I just melted into a puddle of gooey puppy broodiness

She is stunning.

I like 2 syllable names, ending in either an "i" or "a" sound, with a "t" or an "s" them.

They are just that bit more ear-catching, I think.

I like Asti. As a name I mean - although I like the drink too

[pops back in for another peek at the cute puppy!]

an Asti would be a paler dog though surely?

I like Tasha too :)

I knew a 'Treacle' who was lovely but I'm not sure it suits your pup. I think a nice soft name would be best. She seems like such a sweetheart.

If not 'Polly' what about:

Dolly
Jessie
Poppy
Skye
Mabel
Maude

Taya

Our GSD is Tilly (AKA what the hell has that bloody dog dragged in now)_

Freya
Cally
Lola
Hatty

Nala? (From Lion King)

DH said "Mine" as he wants her (ours is 11 now) :)

I have a GSD / Collie x called Maud. But i think yours is too elegant for that name. She is GORGEOUS!

Beryl
Bridget
Persephone
Ava
Bretton

Not that my Maud isn't gorgeous - but in a scruffy kind of way...

Well, she's fast asleep in the middle of the room while we've been throwing names at her and...not a twitch

She also doesn't seem to like Flor, Betsy, Dottie or Elsie...can't think why

Milliways your DH will have to fight my 3.5 year old DS

I, of course, meant that she doesn't really look like an Elsie or Dottie. Not that there's anything wrong with those names!

I really like Flor or Dolly now but my DH just made a face at me

i think she looks like a Polly. nothing to do with my cute dog also called Polly

also like Freya
