We can’t decide on a name for our new puppy. Can you help us decide from our shortlist:

Marcel
Rolo
Kofi
Mojo
Frankie

Which is your favorite?

I like Marcel - not often you come across a dog called Marcel :)

Santaispolishinghissleigh · 08/11/2018 12:33

Without a pic op I don't believe you even have a puppy.......

MardyMavis · 08/11/2018 12:39

Rolo...my sons build a bear dog is rolo 😁

puppyhasnoname · 08/11/2018 13:49

Furry - Marcel's a bit of a favourite, the puppy's a French Bulldog so I thought a French name might be nice. Also like Gaston for that reason.

Santa - we don't actually have a puppy at the moment, we collect him in a couple of weeks but want to have a name ready. Promise to post a pic when he's arrived Smile

Rolo's a great name, Mardy! Definitely a contender for our dog's name.

Marcel :)

BaconFart · 08/11/2018 14:30

Floyd or Frank would be my options for a Frenchie

Parky04 · 08/11/2018 16:00

Love the name Brodie!

BitOfFun · 08/11/2018 16:07

Picture first, or we won't help!

BitOfFun · 08/11/2018 16:08

Oh darn, sorry, I've just seen that he's not here yet!

Gaston is fabulous. Or Marcel. Love the French theme.

Chanelprincess · 08/11/2018 16:41

Marcel. Rolo's very popular for a French Bulldog here so I'd avoid that.

puppyhasnoname · 08/11/2018 17:08

Right, I think we've decided to stick with the French theme. I really like Marcel, but Gaston might also be back on the cards. It's so hard to choose!

Sorry can't post a pic yet but will definitely do so once he's been collected - along with his new name!

Riki is Fab!

CantWaitToRetire · 08/11/2018 17:33

For the French theme, how about Henri or Claude?

From your list I like Marcel best. Or you could go for Marceau Grin.

Alonglongway · 08/11/2018 17:37

You have to imagine calling it when he’s down the other end of the park. I like Frankie.

puppyhasnoname · 08/11/2018 18:09

Henri and Claude are both fab. Not sure about using Claude though as my daughter's close friend who lives next door is also called Claude (Claudia) so might be a bit weird. Henri is good, or maybe Hector?

Good point alonglongway, I don't know how I'd feel about calling out for Gaston. I also worry it might end up getting shortened to Gassy.

Thanks for all the suggestions Smile

But Gaston is so cute! And handsome . It's a great name.

PinkPupZ · 09/11/2018 00:06

Rolo

puppyhasnoname · 10/11/2018 13:08

Thanks for the suggestions. We're going to go with a French name and have narrowed down the final shortlist to:

Marcel
Gaston (agreed BitOfFun, both cute AND handsome!)
Remi

Will post a pic when we've picked him up and decided on his name.

Ferdinand? Freddie?

MikeUniformMike · 10/11/2018 13:14

Gaston.

Icklepup · 11/11/2018 12:10

Frankie or Hector

I like Marcel better than Gaston.
Gas-ton might live up to his name.
