What is my new puppy called? (Cute photograph inc.)

[ASheepNamedBagel]

Hi everyone,

We will be collecting our dream little female Goldendoodle here in 4 weeks time.

What is her name?

At the moment we have:

Inca
Zola
Rhubarb
Alba
Zelda
Giselle

Any suggestions?

wow she’s the absolute cutest

Flossy
catkin (willow catkins are cream and fluffy) kins for short
mabel
daisy
misty
Cicely (Sweet cicely has a delicate white flower).
Yarrow (Yazzie for short)

🤷‍♀️ just sounds funny. It’d probably be shortened to Rhubs though. But that sounds like rudes, which is weird

If you’ve got a daughter who is Allegra, I’d go for Zelda or Zola otherwise it could sound like you’re summoning the Mallory Towers boarding cohort across the playing field (Inca! Giselle! Allegra - time for supper!)

I hope you don’t think that’s rude.

I do like Rhubarb also, but it immediately made me think of other similar names like Lettice, and that’s all just a bit too Boris Johnson for my liking ;)

Also she is very lovely and I’m sure you’ll have loads of fun with her.

Rhubarb could be shortened to Rue (some types of Rue have a pretty deep yellow flower).

@Gattopardono, no. Totally understand, I’d likely sound like a knob

I’d need some cats called Cressida and Araminta (Minty, obvs)

Given her colour I think Custard would be better than Rhubarb.

They’re your next pets, @ASheepNamedBagel.

You can yell them all in from your back door whilst wafting the Spectator or the Telegraph against the flies ;)

Good luck with your doggy. You’re going to have loads of fun, and probably a few savaged shoes/arms/legs/pairs of pants …

Oddly, I suggested Araminta (Minty) on a different 'name my pup' thread yesterday, along with Angelica (Jelly) but I think they were looking for a "quirky", witty word rather than an actual human name.

Zena

How about Nugget, as she's golden

Yes looks like a penny or Bonnie to me ☺️

That’s what I thought. She will be golden. Maybe manuka honey.

Doris

Or Rhubarb. Great nicknames - Rubes, Ruby, Ru-dog, Rooster - and the Kaiser Chiefs ‘Ruby’ was about a dog.

Piper.
Pepper.
Pippa.
Pippin.

Rosa
Callie
Gia
Iris

Marnie
Biscuit
Precious
Pickle

Minka. She is beautiful.

Inca was my first thought but DH is adamant it reminds him of ink - and thinks it’s best suited to a dark coloured doggy.

utterly exhausted today and can’t sleep and laughing because I read the first part of this sentence and thought ‘what?!’ and then thought ‘ohhh!!!!’ when I read the second part😅😅😅 She’s gorgeous, congratulations on the new addition!

I think Emma is a really beautiful classy name for a dog.

ditto Lucy

Penny or Daisy

It's obviously got to be Rhubarb - but I hope your neighbour has a pink cat called Custard.

Just in case people didn't recognise the reference 😁
