Naming a scottie

[goody3shoes]

Hi there everyone!

I'm Georgetta. I love a terrier - always have, even when I used to live in Italy, where I come from. When I move to Britain, was my dream, I will get a terrier to go with my Country Life Magazine and tea time at four o'clock.

Now I have a terrier - a darling little scottie dog! But I want to know - what do you think is the best name for him? I have no experience in this and would probably make a big mess-up of it. I want to know the name you traditionally would look at and think, ah yes, what a perfect name for a scottie dog.

Any ideas? Do share...

I knew one that was called Spud (a word for potato)

Montgomery - Scotty's name in Star Trek.

Angus or Hamish

You could just call him Scottie! I know a Jack Russell called Jack!

Hamish. It's almost compulsory.

or

Jock
Jamie
Sèoras
Donald
Ranald
Tosh

All can be prefaced with either 'Wee" or 'Big'

Bartholomew. The only possible choice.

Hamish was my first thought

Dougal
Wallace
Bruce

Flora or Mac.

Bruce, great Scottish name.

Hamish, Bruce, Angus, Mac

Jason, Donovan, Baio?

Murray

Haggis

Ned
Buckie
Gallus
Bawjaws

Dougal

Archie or Angus

Ours was called Ranoch

Tumshie. Actually the Scots word for a turnip but used often to call kids etc in a very affectionate way 😁 crackin name for a dog.

And of course as mentioned before it has to be wee tumshie 🤣

Wow everyone! thanks so much. I am going for Tumshie - it's so original but also so authentic to me. Grazie mille a tutti!!!!

Woohoo, this has made me very happy. If I had the stamina for a second dog it would be a tumshie too 🤣And Scottie dogs are gorgeous.

I love Scotties and westies!! Need to see a pic of your little guy!!!
