Help naming male springer puppy

Hi we are getting a puppy on Friday. He is currently called big boy by the breeder because he is chunky. But I can't be calling 'come here big boy' in the park!!

He is a liver and white with no white markings on his face or tail. He reminds me of an ewok from Star Wars.

Current suggestions are:
Dave
Buddy
Charlie
Aran
Taff (don't ask my DP is Welsh)
Baggins

Everyone has their favourite but no one can agree on the same name! Would appreciate your input on which is best or any new suggestions gratefully received!

Oh I was going to suggest Chase.

There was a spangle on a rescue page called Chase and I thought it was a great name

I think you should calm him wicket too. So does my springer Keegan!

My tom is basically ignoring pup and carrying on like he isn't here!

My other girl is curious but keeping her distance. Only the one queen who is both completely fascinated and a bit scared.

Oh well the dog/cat shenanigans have begun. Curious puppy and cat with a much wider sense of personal space. My cat isn't attacking puppy but batting him on the nose when he is too friendly and invading her space.

Happened twice so far. Both still choosing to be in the same room and there have been a couple of non violent nose to nose exchanges. Will take a while for them to be comfortable with each other.

Fortunately my cats (i have three Blush) are all under 1 year old and I'm hoping as pup came from a house with two cats and four dogs they will learn to get along. Currently got a puppy on my knee and a cat on my head Hmm

I did consider that, at the moment I'm calling him bud for the want of something better (as in buddy). Will have a family conference at the weekend and see if we can decide

Hi have spent the day trying to get the house puppy proof! Reorganised all wires and hid them. Put all shoes into wardrobes. Looked into every corner for random chewable things.

We are picking him up at 11.30am tomorrow and am super excited!

I like zeb will mention that one. The current front runner is wicket. Thanks womble.

My DM is sending me nature names - branch, bramble, willow Confused, bracken.

Will post pictures tomorrow Smile

We have a 12 1/2 week old called Daniel the Spaniel - we thought we were all original like....he has his own facebook page and I found multiple other Daniel the spaniels at the same time!!

I do like 'Mr Taff' though, my Grandparents are all welsh so it does hold a soft spot for that reason.

Best of luck with him :)

I love Welsh boys names but DH is English & can't agree to any of them. I've often thought if we had a dog I'd call him Dylan or Taliesin, Tal or Tali for short.

Max(imus). Because he is a Big Boy!

I knew a Dave the dog. It was much smaller tho, I can't imagine a Springer called Dave!

You're welcome Wink
You can't call a dog Dave! Every time you come home it would be like the League of Gentlemen "Hellooo Dave" lol
I've a mahoosive lab called Mr Reddington as was heavily into The Blacklist when we got him. Makes walks interesting when I have to call him back 😂
