Naming this puppy is driving me mad!

[FoxRedPuppy]

Cockapoo, fox red, boy. We have been through what feels like hundreds of names, and cannot agree. It’s only me and two dc, but there is not a single name they agree on.

Most of the standard ones have been ruled out including Teddy, Freddy, Buddy, Alfie.

I like Ziggy, I might just overrule them! Any suggestions?

My son says "he looks like a Duncan"

I have two cockerpoos and was contemplating a third - if I had a boy I would call him Hubert ❤️

@minmooch 😍 he's adorable! It's making me dog broody now.

If your family don't like biscuit, then how about cookie?

I had this recently with a new puppy. I was threatening not to bring it home if the kids didn't stop fighting about the name in the end

short and sweet

You need to make a list (or take one off here) and all three of you score each name out of ten. Add them up to find the winner and that's it, sorted.

Rusty or teddy. We have a red/white border collie now 12 weeks. We named her at 2 weeks,so she was used to the name....ruby,if she had been a boy,foxy definitely because of the face shape and colour.

Kevin

That’s a good idea! We’ve tried the voting, preferential vote system. I honestly think it would be easier to get peace in Ukraine right now than name this puppy 🤣

one child is autistic which doesn’t help. Neither of my dc has a future as a negotiator.

Ooh @minmooch i have a Dylan as well. Although he’s often referred to as Son of Satan and Twatdog. The latter probably isn’t suitable for the children though.

Had a puppy come in the shop where I work called Brian which I thought was pretty good. Or Caramac as he’s the same colour as one

Loki, which I think is a Norse god of Mischief. Or Bodie. Cos he was the one with attitude in the Professionals.

Herbert (Herb)
Louis
Walter
Barney
George
Billy

Acorn?

Ozzie
Amos
Duke
Apollo
Barty
Zippy
Sarge
Giro
Twiglet
Tetley
Rebus
Troy
Bozo

This made me think Conker.

e Bruno or Ralph. X

Pringle

Baxter

"Button" is what first came to my mind. Not sure why!
We have a red spaniel called Beau - cos he's beautiful 😍
Friends have a cockerpoo called Rufus.
Other names we went through were Murphy, Rocky, and Brioche.
