Title: I need a name.
Post by: IanM on March 11, 2010, 02:36:00 PM: Ok, its a fact, I am rubbish at thinking up new names for my dogs so I need help. In a few weeks time I am getting a chocolate working cocker bitch. I do not want a name that relates to chocolate or the colour brown. Something short and different would be great.

Post by: Jenna on March 11, 2010, 02:39:36 PM: What sort of names do you like? Have you thought of any that you like so far, so we have something to go on?

Do you want to give her a girly name or a strong-sounding name?
Title: Re: I need a name.
Post by: IanM on March 11, 2010, 02:46:25 PM: The name should relate more to a girl than a boy, if that makes sense. I have not started a list of possible's.

If it helps, I already have a: tain, jura, tia, poppy, cruz, flik, and freddie.

Post by: Jenna on March 11, 2010, 02:58:00 PM: You might also like Jazz (short for Jasmine), Zara, Trinity, Shilo, Sasha, Phoebe, Milly, Tilly, Jojo, Jada, Indy, Gabby, Belle/Bella, Amber or Jess.

Post by: Nicola on March 11, 2010, 05:29:37 PM: Isla, as you already have a Jura?

Most of the names I like are Gaelic but I also have Tess and Corrie on my list of possible names and Tilly is obviously an excellent name :shades: :005:

Post by: aliceandlouis on March 11, 2010, 05:37:49 PM: I absolutely love the name Cora - but have been trying to think of something that relates to a working cocker and though possibly Purdey (I think they are gunsmiths aren't they?)

Post by: Joules on March 12, 2010, 08:37:55 AM: I like Pip best from your list :D I guess you want something that is easily distinguished from your other dogs' names :-\

But I also love Scout for a girl and Pebbles is a great name too :D
