Title: KC names
Post by: scott0904 on December 08, 2009, 07:04:07 PM
so who's dog has the most bizarre/amusing KC name?

Mine is Kenine Caffe Latte - not very strange or amusing but I was just thinking about the king charles in Sex and the City and its KC name was Princess Dandyridge Brandywine  :005: love it!!!!

incidently ....who names the dogs and how do they come up with the strange names?

The breeder picks the KC names for their own litter or if they don't submit any when they register the puppies the KC will allocate names.

The breeders name the dogs, usually with their Kennel name 1st then whatever name they have chosen

Coco didn't have a kennel prefix and as I chose her at 2 weeks before they were registered I was able to choose her KC name which is Cocobean Sugarpuff!  :luv: :005:

Roxy is Kenmilleven Enchanting which I think is lovely! There were 5 in her litter 2 girls and 3 boys, the girls were Enchanting and Endearing and I got to pick which I wanted for Roxy and the other girl had the other! I'm not sure what the boys were.

Sasha's is  Ladylola Lovelylocks.

Her previous owners chose this I think and called her Lola.

Only to put her in the paper for sale 2 weeks later. I bought her and changed her name to Sasha.

Ellie's is  Anahi [from the kennel she came from] Alianna.

Don't know 2 of my 3 rescues,  but My daughter calls Paisley, Pudsey Parsnip  :lol2:

Honey's is Honeycombe Ice Cream - we chose it before the breeder sent off the registration paperwork....

We incorporated her name (Honey) and went with a food theme, as her Dam was a drinks theme!!!
Also, Honeycombe Ice Cream kind of suits her colouring...  :luv:

My two were very aptly named....Roxy is "Gameheart Ride the Waves" and Rio is "Bryning Makin' Waves". Me and my OH chose the names and must've had an inclin of what they'd be like....!

(http://i243.photobucket.com/albums/ff34/hollydavies123/b17-1.jpg)

(http://i243.photobucket.com/albums/ff34/hollydavies123/b15.jpg)

We gave a HUGE list to Roxy's breeder and I think she used the other names for the three other girls in the litter. The only boy in the litter really drew the short straw "Gamehart Boris"  ph34r :005:

Penny is "Holly's Penny Black" (she was born where the Penny Black stamp came from) and the theme carried on for Sophie "Holly's Sophie Blue" (she's blue colour).

Mika has a Japanese name which translated is Snow Magic.

Kenmilleven is the name that the Kennel club allocated to pups that were registered in 2006/7 (I think!) because the breeder did not allocate names themselves I believe, so this is why there are many dogs, of all different breeds, that share this word at the beginning of their KC name  ;)

My two are: Wrenside Bella of Waitby and Gowderbank Moss of Wrenside, not very unusual - but I like having Wrenside in their names as it locates them to a specific part of the country  :luv:

We chose Charlie's name and some of the other names put forward were used for other pups in the litter  :D  So Charlie is Swanmarch First Overture for Olivesong (should of thought it through more as it takes ages to write it in on show entry forms  :005:)  All linked into Megs other time consuming choir duties.  ::)

Heidi was already Oramiss Goldilocks but we used Goldilocks to come up with Heidi - Blond girl in stories  ;)

The other two have no links to their names and were already registered as Wingate Bucks Fizz and Smokey Joes Wonder

Jasper is Roan Ranger which for a blue roan is not very imaginative.
Toby however is Caryna Chilly Lad which I have always loved - though he the furthest from a chilled out lad you could ever get. Well not in his younger days anyway

Not funny or bizarre but Stevie's KC name is Shenmore Sally Cinnamon, after the Stone Roses song. As a massive Roses fan back in the day I like to think she was always destined to be mine. I don't believe in destiny really but one other funny thing that happened is just after being told by the breeder ( a lovely lady, I'd like to add  :shades:  :lol2:) that I was in with a chance of one of the pups, I was sitting in my car at some traffic lights thinking about it all and a London bus passed in front of me with a big advert for Mango on it's side, which was Stevie's name at that time.  :lol2:

Penny is also Penny Black I named her after the stamp as she is precious and also she has two gold pennies above her eyes Imentioned it to my friend who bred Penny and she liked it so she registered her Her prefix is Jenatspan.The children calll her Jenny Penny.

Ellie is an orange roan and her KC name is Blackoaks Barley Sugar, which is perfect for her as part of her is barley sugar coloured and she is such a sweet little girl.

My first Cocker (Josh) was Bidston Be My Valentine. Bidston was the breeder's affix, but I chose the rest because he was born on the night of Feb. 13th/14th. I still love the name.

When we bought his half brother, Sam, nearly two years later, we wanted him to be Bidston Double Trouble, but the breeder didn't like it and, as he was black and born on Nov. 5th, she named him Bidston Black Guy, which I hated and thought sounded a bit racist  ph34r

William is Arianaharbor Sweet William. Arianaharbor is the breeder's affix and is a place in Florida. She wanted him to be Sunny Surprise, which I thought sounded like a dessert  :005:, so I asked for him to be Sweet William after the flower. It really suits him.

Louis was already named when I got him and is Tyaltonwood Sweet Wonder, which goes quite well with Sweet William.

Flattery will get you everywhere :D My OH was responsible for Sally Cinnamon as he was determined to get a Roses song title into one of our litters (I'd vetoed all his other attempts :005:) I'm sure he'll try to sneak another one in one of these days if I'm not careful (Shenmore She Bangs The Drums has a certain ring to it, I suppose :lol2:).

Don't think we've had any really funny names that I can think of - we usually stick to themes like stars, flowers or song titles (all beginning with S) for our own pups (although it's becoming more difficult to come up with new ones now...)

Daisy is Arrawarra Velvet. Shes part of the breeders second litter. Her first litter was 11 pups and she panicked at the thought of picking 22 different names. They had been on holiday to Austrailia so they decided that the first names would be Austrailian towns. The theme ran on into the second litter. Arrawarra is an Austrailian town and she chose Velvet because of her silky coat  :luv:

Title: Re: KC names
Post by: Nicola on December 09, 2009, 12:10:36 AM
I forgot to put mine in my first post, Rodaidh's KC name is Mordor Orange of Rinagree (Mordor is his breeder's affix, Rinagree is my affix). I've never asked his breeder so I don't know if it was because of his colouring or if there was a fruit theme going on and his littermates are called Mordors Lemon, Grapefruit and Pineapple :005:  The fruit thing may be likely though as the breeder also had a Labrador called Mordor Mango :lol2:  Whoever bred Tilly (I don't know as she's a rescue) didn't have an affix but she is registered and her KC name is Miss Lucky Charm. Caoimhe is Lovelight Garnet Glow and will be ... of Rinagree as soon as I get round to sending off the paperwork, her litter was named on a gemstone theme and garnet goes well with her colouring :luv:

That's good.  :lol2: If Andrew ever manages to sneak the name Shenmore Mersey Paradise past the approval stage then I'd like to bagsy the pup now.  :lol2: Stevie's name suits her fine but 'I Wanna Be Adored' would probably have been even more apt.  :lol2:

Boo is Mossdew Fleetwood Mac.  The breeders affix was mossdew and she named the puppy that she kept for herself Mossdew deep purple.  

As soon as the words 'I'm thinking of naming them after rock groups' came out of the breeders mouth, my partner jumped in like an excited child and asked if we could name our pup Fleetwood Mac (huge Mac fan).  So Mossdew Fleetwood mac he became - thank god it wasn't Mossdew Crosby Stills Nash and Young!!

Dyllan- Black Runer of Brimbeck (breeder's daughter's spelling mistake :o ) and you wouldn't believer the number of show secs who correct it for their catalogue ::) I've kind of got used to it.

Tyke - Cardamine Rainbow Tyke at Brimbeck. The breeder wanted Tri Tyke but the Kennel club wouldn't have it, she knew he was to be called Tyke and she included the name. He lives up to it. :005:


Lance (Lancelot)- My choice (lovely breeder ;) ) Molkara Crystal Knight at Brimbeck, Crystal after his mum and knight for Lancelot. Soppy I know but I love it and him :luv: :luv:

If she could grow me a black and Tan sometime in the future I'd love to call him Crystal Wizard (Merlin).

Tilly's litter (and mum) were named after 80/90s soul bands.  She is Lujesa Jodeci and her mum is Lujesa Hazie Fantazie.  Her litter sister is Lujesa Odyssey.  I must admit I'd never heard of Jodeci (nor knew how to pronounce it  ph34r) until we got Tilly, so her name is educational too!  I think it's a cool name, although my non-doggie relatives think it's too short for a "real" pedigree name (but what do they know  :lol2:)

Tally's is Truly Magic - the breeder had sent the list off and as we had first pick we got to choose which of the names went with her, and I didn't like the others.

My mum's little norfolk terrier X lhasa apso is registered on the working register and I called him 'Rustic Fuzzbucket' - because his name is Rusty, and he IS a fuzzbucket! Makes me smile.

Think I've mentioned it before, but there was apparently a local dog called Norfolk Enchance - try saying it a few times! They got away with it, as the dog didn't win anything for its first few years, but they were made to change it once the powers that be noticed!

I did originally want a girl amd I was giong to cal her Summervilles Tina Turner, however we ended up with a boy so that converstation with Harvey's breeder never had to materialize!  :005: :005:

Harvey's is Summervilles Felyn Bachgen. I did want it to translate to golden boy, but it was too long and I was getting too stressed with it all so settled with 'yellow boy'  ph34r Considering he is now a nice shade of ginger his name is meaningless now! ::)

My old boy Merlins was Lorebank Jazzman and Morgana who I have now and is from the same breeder is Lorebank Quality street. Her three pups that we bred are Talisman who is Golden Tally Is The Man. (even though he is now more red  :shades:) I wanted Golden Talisman, but was not able to have Talisman at all, so had to do a little play on words instead.  :shades: His sisters are Avalon who is Magical little Miss Avs. I was unable to have Avalon in her name, but she is a little miss Avs anyway, so it's all good.  :shades: and Solstice who actually managed to get her name in and is Wiccan Summer Solstice. My rescue boy that I have at the mo Harvey and my old boy Charlie never had KC names, but they were and are just as special.  :luv: I don't have an affix at the mo, but since showing I have thought I would like to get one and have thought that some sort of mix of my old departed boys would make an apt one.  :luv:

Hi

I recently registered my affix 'Casagren'.  This is a combination of our names (Carol and Grenville) which just seemed the right thing for us.  You can use anything that suits you so long as it hasn't already been registered.   Basically, you register your interest in a name (always worthwhile having a couple at least of alternatives).  KC will approve if there are no obvious reasons not to, then you wait until your chosen name comes out in KC Gazette so everyone gets 4 weeks to object.  No objections = your affix !!  Simple as that really.

Good luck!

Casagren Goldens and Cockers ;)

Dennis was named by the breeder before I got him.  He is 'Carginbar Colour Me In' which suits him with his tan eyebrows. 

The only problem I have with his KC name is, our local radio station Radio Forth's breakfast show DJ has been promoting the phrase 'Colour Me In' as the term for having some adult fun IYNWIM. 

Dennis and I are announced into the HTM competition ring as 'Barbara with Colour Me In' - is this an open invitation? (if this use of the phrase catches on nationally)

My kennel prefix is "Saltire" - but we will not have any litter next time because first I need a suitable girl for breeding :luv:

Maddox full name is "Serbian Affair of Luna's Dynasty" - of Luna's Dynasty is kennel affix and the name is special because his daddy is from Serbia  :005:

Ians full name is "Gallinagos Wild Wild West", Gallinagos is Kennel prefix, and this name is perfect for him ;) he is my little cowboy!!!  :luv:

We recently applied for a KC Affix and they chose for us our fifth choice so think carefully what you put down. When I rang then they went through some of the options that we'd preferred and one of them was similair to one first registered in 1964 but been obsolete since 1971 but still we couldn't use it. Their records must be vast!!

Hamish is not KC registered but Maggie RIP was, and she was Magdelana Millersway.  She was born at Easter so all the litter had bible names.  Hence her pet name Maggie.

Kenine is the Affix given by the kennel club when there is no Affix for the breeder, this one relates to pups registered in 2009.  ;)

Keli was Kelynen Mister Bojangles.

When the KC reg came back I was so disappointed. All the other dogs had beautiful Celtic and mystical names. So did his parents - but he got Mister Bojangles.

But in the end, he really was a Mister Bojangles - you could imagine him with the hat and cane. :005:

Jaray would be the KC Affix from the Breeder & so your puppy is known to come from that particular Kennel/Breeder.   
My Honey Lamb is the KC name the breeder registered your puppy as.  The breeder usually chooses the name's.  :D
Title: Re: pedigree name
Post by: Jane S on December 06, 2010, 08:55:36 AM
As Ninasmum says registered names for puppies are chosen by the breeder. In the case of KC registered pups, most breeders have their own kennel name/affix which will be the first word of the registered name. The KC also has various rules about what words can't be used in a name and limits how long they can be. Not sure about the DLRC as this is a totally different kettle of fish and don't think breeders who use this company are able to register their own affixes.

Here's an oldish thread from last year where people talked about their dogs' registered names:

As I chose Coco at 2 weeks old I was able to choose her pedigree name and the breeder registered it - don't think they had a kennel affix.  I had to choose a 2 part name that the KC would accept and that had not already been used. Coco's registered name is Cocobean Sugarpuff  :luv: :005:

Buff.
A new fangled `necker chief`, worn around the neck by many different types. Me being different thought it may look quite cool on a dog.

Thus

S'ok J! Now I know what a buff is :) I've seen them on dogs before anf thought they looked cool, I think they suit the boy dogs better than our girly doggies, there's so many cute clothes for dogs out there, saw a pup@our local farmers market a blue roan called saffy,  she was only 2weeks younger than delta but she was sooo small and had a little pink stripey jumper on with a pink bone logo on the back, I'm not into the dress-up-your-pooch thing but she did look a cutie-pie!!

Interesting, I just came across your post in a search..

I have a working cocker, Murphy who is Brogenslade Hustler..
We got him from a farm nearby on the edge of the New Forest.
He's 12 and a half now and finally slowing down a little 🙂(sadly tbh)
Just discovered he has high blood pressure (220 to 240..! hardly surprising the way he acts) so he's on tablets for it now.

Normy is 'Brogenslade Delightful' which is just her Kennel's name followed by a random word I suspect as she's not really 'Delightful' :lol: Might see if I can change it to Brodenslade Queen of Huff :005:
