Getting a puppy. What to call her?!

Please help with ideas. We are getting a rescue Rottweiler cross puppy. I am so beyond excited. We lost our beautiful girl 18 months ago and are finally ready for another dog to steal our hearts. She is a cross but looks like a rottie. What names do you think would fit?

Stella, Martha, Willow spring to mind. She sounds lovely!

Oh I like Stella. Her name currently starts with an S but we want to change it. I am so excited but can't tell my children at the moment so only me and DP know and I am bursting to share!!!

Hate to be that person but I have never ever heard of a reputable rescue agreeing to rehome a dog to a family with children without assessing how the children and dog interact? So I'm a bit confused on how your children don't know.

They are coming to do a home check but when I say children the youngest is 15 then I have two 20 year olds and a 23 year old so yes they are my children but they are 3 adults and a teen

I'd call her Betty.

Martha
Missy
Dolly
Queenie

In my humble opinion, every animal should be named Dickhead. It doesn't matter what their actual names are, they always end up being called dickhead in my house 😂

But more seriously. Where's the photo?

Our Rottie girl was named Xena, suited her very well. Lost her over 10 years ago now 🥲

This is her. She might be coming Saturday! Dolly is high on my list. I love Mabel. I am going to have a short list for the 'kids' to choose from so we have the most say!

She's a Mabel all day long 😍

Howinthehelldidthishappen · 20/02/2025 14:09

Oh bless her! Definitely Mabel

DominoRules · 20/02/2025 16:12

She’s a beauty! I agree she’s a Mabel

Damnit, my DP has said no to Mabel as her current name ends in an ee sound so he thinks it is important that a new name does as she has been trained with that sound. I like Minnie. Especially as she is going to be anything but mini!

She is beautiful. Looks like a Rosie to me, which works with her name sound too. Dolly is cute too! Minnie just makes me think of Minnie Mouse.

Cuppachuchu · 20/02/2025 16:39

She is gorgeous 😍, and she is a Dilys.

TheMousePipes · 20/02/2025 16:42

Betty!

Sosigrole · 20/02/2025 16:46

Heidi

PrincessHoneysuckle · 20/02/2025 17:40

She's stunning.

@Sosigrole I have a DD called Heidi so although I love the name it is out!!

I think she’s a Dolly 🥰

Arrggghhhhhh · 20/02/2025 19:00

I was looking at her picture thinking Mabel, then I read your post with the picture saying Mabel. She really looks like a Mabel, so sweet.

MichaelandKirk · 20/02/2025 19:00

Lovely picture. Maud, Mavis or Mildred. Colouring is very unusual and she looks like she is going to be intelligent. Some dogs right from day one look gormless. Your dog isn’t one of them!

Arrggghhhhhh · 20/02/2025 19:01

Minnie Mabel, the at some point drop the Minnie.

Melsy88 · 20/02/2025 19:07

She looks like a Sadie to me!
