Help me name our pup!

Honestly. We have six children and did not ever fret so much about naming them!! We are picking up our new family member tomorrow, a black lab. We already have a yellow lab called Megan. Kids are all huge Harry Potter fans if that helps?? I like Kismet, nobody else is keen. I don't like names which overtly refer to colour like Sooty or Midnight (no idea why!!). Please put us out of our misery and give her a name! I'll put a photo up next but it's actually not great due to how dark she is but it might help!

Treacle I like your style! (Actually, Treacle isn't bad...!)

Bella. Italian for beautiful.

Popskipiekin · 12/02/2017 23:14

Siri? Not sure it's really a name (apart from the Apple thing!) but was trying to think of a female version of Sirius - for Sirius Black as she's a black lab.
She's divine whatever name you go with.

Duggee.

I know its a girl but how cool would it be to be in the park shouting,
"Hey Duggee"
You could even say to your kids, a different t kid each day,
"Tommy? Isn't it time for?"
"Duggeee"

You know it makes sense.

Emma.
Freya.
Ivy.

Or Halainn which is Gaelic. It sounds nice than it looks. Or Dubh which is black (sounds like Doo) but this may sound silly depending on where you live. Quite acceptable in the NW Scottish Highlands!

thebakerwithboobs · 12/02/2017 23:16

Oooh hadn't thought of Tonks! It's a shame because the only black dog reference we can find in Potter is the Grim (Grimm?) which is perhaps not the best name....

My personal favourites are Tonks and Luna!
Luna is a stab towards the moon which is night which is dark IYSWIM

Popskipiekin · 12/02/2017 23:20

Well you could use Padfoot or Snuffles then? (Desparately clinging onto Sirius black dog theme Grin)

thebakerwithboobs · 12/02/2017 23:22

Pops it's a great thought! I shall be sharing all suggestions over breakfast with the boys and hoping it doesn't come to pulling something out of a hat! Three of the boys suggested Niffler (from Fantastic Beasts) but although it's a very cute little creature it's not a very cute name really...this is so hard! I'm laughing at how stressed I am by the whole thing!

Ps we have a tortoise called Padfoot....

Rowena - as in ravenclaw, cos she'll have black claws so its a HP name which fits but the black part is cryptic.Grin

furlinedsheepskinjacket · 13/02/2017 01:25

raven

she is lovely

NoncommittalToSparkleMotion · 13/02/2017 03:30

I second Raven! 😍

Hoppinggreen · 13/02/2017 08:18

Luna or fleur

Mol1628 · 13/02/2017 08:19

Luna

Sparklywine · 13/02/2017 08:40

Fluffy!

Flippetydip · 13/02/2017 17:31

I love the name Niffler! It's fabulous!! Go with that.... pleeeassee.

Although am secretly wanting you go with the Duggee suggestion

Or yes, of course, Fluffy the Boarhound!

Ginny?

velvetteddygirl · 13/02/2017 18:56

Minerva with the nickname Minnie or Helena with the nickname Nell or Leni.

WaitrosePigeon · 13/02/2017 20:50

Definitely Luna.
