Boy Poodle Name Ideas Please!

Our new miniature boy poodle will be joining our family very soon and we are still struggling with names. Our old boy who we lost earlier in the year was Ollie so we are trying to avoid names that feel too similar. I keep thinking we've agreed, then the doubts start creeping in and the dog needs a name! Please help!

I love poodles! We have a poodle Ted.
He came with his name though and we didn’t think we should change it.
My dd wanted to call him Gilbert.
Or Wilf.

Noodle! After the black poodle in the Hairy Maclary books.

I always liked Darwin for a dog!

But also think old man or unpopular names are excellent and hilarious:
Collin
Keith
Phillip
Eric
Earl
Ivor
Kevin
Lionel
Jim
Geoff
Ralph

When I was young relatives had a poodle called Atlas. I always lived that name for a dog.

Poodles are so beautifully posh, could you not call him Tarquin or Lance?

Treaclebee · 17/09/2019 18:26

D'Artagnan, Dart for short.
I always wanted a black French poodle called D'Artagnan Grin

I have 2 black boy mini poodles - one called Basil other called Bear. I love calling out Basil over the park. À la Fawlty Towers.

(Also have 2 black girl poodles lol)

Claude. By the way, canines are dogs and bitches NOT boys and girls. My GSD is a bitch and my Arab a mare.

This is really brilliant - I love Digby, Tarquin, Percy and Horace but the rest of the family aren't so keen. Fred and Archie are definite contenders. This is so exciting! Percheron 67 - yes I'm well aware of the correct technical terms but have to say even the vets and groomers seem to use girl and boy these days and personally I prefer them.

Brian.
And then, when you realise one dog is never enough dog, you can get another and call that one Barry.

Of course. And I hope you never bang your patella getting off your mare or suffer a numb gluteus maximus Grin

iklboo - Don't be childish. I adore animals but treating them as children can cause behavioural problems.. I have seen this all too often.
