Getting close to decision-day re: getting a dog. It'd almost certainly be a cockapoo and male.
What could we call him?
Ideas so far: Monty, Theo, Ted.
Now we're stuck. What have you all plumped for?

Martin

Martin is a fantastic name for a dog - i currently have three but if i ever got a male pup i would call him Martin....

ZillahWhoDrankTooMuchGin · 17/04/2011 23:28

Or failing that, Geoff....

Eric is a good name. I want an eric, in fact hopefully next year.

Monty is too highbrow for a cockerpoo I think. A Monty is something traditional like a setter.

We have a german shorthaired pointer, Rupert.

I can dig out DD's Nintendogs game in the morning. She's got loads of dog's names. :)

Pip or Pippin or both

Imagine yourself out in the park yelling any prospective names at full blast (as dog's trying to hump some elderly lady's Westie)... if you imagine you'll feel a prat yelling it - scratch name off list.

We disregarded Gandalf (even though he would have really suited it because he's all beardy and shaggy with big eyebrows) and Enigma (because it might have been mistaken for N.. ger at a distance) on the park prat criteria.

Lots of dogs called Max in our park - ddog included, though he was named by previous owners. If you shout Max when community playgroup is opening you get a selection of dogs and small boys! (So Max is best avoided)

Yes, I can see that. My sister's previous dog was Max and my SIL's current one is too. so would be a non-starter anyway.

stleger · 19/04/2011 21:56

What about something retro like Rover?

EllAEllO · 19/04/2011 22:05

Sidney.

I also like Dave! Grin

Carrotsandcelery · 19/04/2011 23:12

Dave is the best so far - I have to agree Grin
