Title: Name for new puppy
Post by: Snoopy on February 24, 2013, 11:23:38 AM: I'm picking up a new puppy in a couple of weeks but I'm stuck on choosing a name!

The dogs I have now and in the past have always had names ending with "eee" like Cassie and Winnie etc.

Any ideas would be gratefully appreciated.

She's a blue roan show cocker. :D

How about Snoopy?

Snoopy's a boy's name (I like it though - but only if the dog's colouring is black and white)!

I like Daisy. The female dogs around here tend to have the same names - Poppy & Molly are super-popular, then there's Katy, Lucy, 3 Myrtles (?), Abby. Most of the dogs around here seem to be male, oddly enough!

My OH nick named Willow 'Snoopy' at a young age due to her floppy ears and its kind of stuck she gets called Snoopy or Snoops more than she gets called Willow. Bless her heart she answers to either :005: :005:

Can you imagine shouting that out in the park?!!
Title: Name for a new puppy
Post by: Lovely on February 24, 2013, 04:40:11 PM: Yes shouting Lovely Spud is bad enough but i've heard worse. One of my neighbours shrieks "get your furry little ar*e in here" at her dog first thing in the morning!

Title: Re: Name for new puppy
Post by: MIN on February 24, 2013, 05:11:41 PM: Minnie or Lucy

Our 3 ees were / are peggy, mindy and poppy

But I have found that no matter what name you decide on, when you see your baby a name will just pop into your head and chances are it won't be the one picked
Title: Re: Name for new puppy
Post by: piph on February 24, 2013, 05:12:05 PM: There are loads of websites to help you choose - just Google 'cocker spaniel names'. This is how we chose Ozzy's name - when we saw it on a website we realised that it would suit him as he was really chilled and laid back when we first met him, and he reminded us of Ozzy Osbourne. :005:
Chilled and laid back?? How wrong we were!!!! :shades:

I still haven't quite found "the one" though.

Maybe when I pick her up in a couple of weeks it'll just happen....
Title: Re: Name for new puppy

That is sometimes the case - a name comes to you after she has lived with you for a while - I had a poodle who I could not think of a name for - until I saw her playing with a flowerpot...and she got called Pippa, after the telly gardening presenter :D

Wow - I didn't know that about the year they are born and the names! Is it compulsory?
Title: Re: Name for new puppy
Post by: Amus1 on March 01, 2013, 11:49:18 AM: I used to have a guinea pig named Mabel!! Now just a lone piggy named Peggy, or Pegs as she gets called now.

I had a murphy (eeee sound),

I like
*Dilly/dillie,
Dollie,
*Cali,
Halle,
*Ginny,
Hattie,
Bridie,
*Jinty.

* = love those ones! Lol.

Though I too think that it would be wise to wait an see the puppy. I decided flynns name before we visited (wouldve been stan) and on the second visit I just thoughts it didn't suit him, so I changed it.

Hi Piph
Yes it is on registration documents .

Well, you learn something new every day!!! I'm assuming this is all 'registered' pets? What happens if some old farmer's mongrel has pups? Do they still have to be 'registered', and named with the letter of the year?
Title: Re: Name for new puppy
Post by: PopPops on March 03, 2013, 04:14:20 PM: We have a Jazz/Jazzie (Jasmine), Abby and Georgie, and have had a Misty, Merlin, Nell and Sophie. My grandparents called every single dog they ever had either Bob or Jock as they loved those names. Made it easy to remember but in family reminiscences we end up talking about young Bob, old Bob, OLD old Bob....

When I was looking for a puppy the top contenders were Holly, Fizz, Dora or Lola as well as Poppy, but I met Pops on the morning of November 11th and Poppy just seemed to fit her perfectly. Now I know her better, Dora the Explorer would have fitted her very well too :005:
