Eek.

Can anyone give me pointers for questions we should ask that we might have missed please?

We won't be bringing them home today.

Elsa
Autumn
Kizzy
(Dd1, DS, DD2 respectively.)

I like Olive and did try and reply to your email reply

The kids and DH are saying no to every name but won't come up with anything else.

She was going to be Isla but DS was rude about it. DD and now DS says they don't care. DH doesn't like ds2s choice. I'm stumped.

DS said he liked Elsie and I did but DH didn't.

Grrrrr.

I had a beautiful cat called Gladys, but I think it works well for a Goldie....?

DH and DD laughed at Gladys then DD suggested Arthur!!

I like willow. My DD name is in the list.

If she was a boy she'd be Alfie.

DH and DD now want an Italian name.

I like Florence before they said that but they said no.

The cat just came in and said no to all the choice too.

Cross post I love Florence. We let DD age 3 name ours so we had poppy the puppy.

Fucks sake, it's you whose wanted a puppy for aeons. Tell dH to shut up and find something you and the kids agree on.

Millie! All the millies I know are lovely dogs. She is too cute :)

AlwaysLookOnBrightsideOfLife · 16/09/2016 00:12

She looks like a Button to me. not helpful at the naming help clearly

Maggie could work. Lots of variations to it too.
