All my gundogs have been named after natural features of landscape and variations on that theme are quite common. Humber, Welland, Tamar, Firth, Strath, Rannoch, Bodmin, Zennor, Elan, Conwy. If you fancy that idea look at a map of Scotland , Wales, Scilly and Cornwall!

Moppet.

She's adorable!

Is she Welsh springer cross? If so a Welsh name might be nice. Or something naturey like Bracken or Sage. I think Dee is a marvellous simple name for any dog, but it depends what you like. Do you have a shortlist?

Sprocket- a sprocket in my experience is a pocket rocket 😂

Most people I know have a theme as they have a line of dogs.

Ours is Scottish Gaelic words, usually describing the colour or something the same colour as the dog (Dubh, Dearg (black, red), Broc (badger - black and white dog).
Friend does motorbikes, usually vintage. Current dog is Brough. (Pronounced Bruff)

I like Anglo Saxon flavoured names for my dogs, I currently have Wilf, and have had Alf and Hild. May I suggest Brona for this little one, it means brown haired.

I like picking a name with a meaning. My dog is Yoshi, his kennel name is lucky legend. I had a big long list but nothing felt right. So I googled names that mean luck. Yoshi in Japanese supposedly means something like good fortune. Whether that is actually true or it’s just something the internet told I don’t know, but it totally suited him.

my next dog, who will be partially trained, his name means loyal in Arabic. My family member is from the Middle East so she suggested it. I quite liked flapjack but I was overruled.

food names are always good. Waffle, mash, sausage.

my cat is called Fleur Fleur. Only female pet I have.

before getting Yoshi, I wasn’t sure if I was getting a boy or girl. My list of names included; Nessie, floss, ness,

OrinocoGlow · 08/01/2024 16:01

She's beautiful. What about Coco or Hazel?

The place I’m getting my next dog from, had one called pinot.

Great suggestions thanks! Love Brona!
Shortlist so far is Betty, or Connie
My daughter wants Taylor as she is a swiftie! 🙈

Gnomegnomegnome · 08/01/2024 22:06

Bessie or Poppy

Gnomegnomegnome · 08/01/2024 22:06

Although I think Taylor wins!

Daphne

Stumpedasatree · 08/01/2024 22:08

Ebbie/Ebby came to my mind, she’s gorgeous. Ebbie because of Ebony.

Flyhigher · 08/01/2024 22:28

I thought Hazel too.

Anonanonanon1 · 09/01/2024 16:46

My friend has a sprocker bitch who is the same colour called Twiglet (Twig for short).

I know a chocolate cocker called Puddle, which I think is adorable.

GoodVibesHere · 09/01/2024 17:04

She looks like a Bonnie or a Lucy.

JamieJ93 · 09/01/2024 17:06

She looks like a daisy to me 😀
