Subject: Help me name a puppy...
Written By: lorac614 on 07/02/04 at 4:38 pm
We're on our way to look at a puppy. It's a male Chesapeake Bay Retriever and brown in color. I'm not any good at picking unique names, so some suggestions would be great!! We already have a Chocolate Lab named Jake (Jackson Brownie is his AKC name).
Thanks!!

It's kind of hard coming up with a name without seeing him. Can you post a pic? That would help.

We had 2 Norge Elghuns named. Freya and Gudrun. We almost named our second dog Idunn (pronounced Eden) For boys I am partial to Odin, Ole(pronounced oh lee) Thor, Loki. Because I am married I couldn't pick our dogs names. Our eldest( a German Shepherd/Bassit Hound cross) is named Oscar Mayer Wiener. Our youngest (Finnish Spitz/ English Springer Spaniel cross) is simply named Jack.
God lyk!

I would suggest Coco or Cocoa, but that wouldn't be too original. How about Chaser (my dad's late dog) or Elvis?

I don't usually name a pet until I've had it for about a week or so, to get to know the personality. I usually give my pets a name that decribes how they are, rather than how they look.
One exception was with a stray cat who had beady eyes. We used to call him Beady Eyes when he was just a stray. When he became freindly and we adopted him, we found out that he was a real sweetheart. Since he is a big male, I didn't want to call him sweetheart or anything like that, so I just changed the spelling to BDI's.

Your pets names have a Nordish Scandivanian mythological sound to their name. :)

Yep, our first two family dogs were named after Norse goddesses. Gudrun (pronounced good run) was also my great aunts name. With the exception of my youngest dog I would always prefer a non-human name. Heck my eldest is named after a hot dog!
God lyk!

I agree that names should be a bit personal. That is why I asked for a pic. (By the way, love your avitar. ;))

This what the breed looks like, sort of like a Chocolate Lab with wavy hair.
We still haven't picked a name, my 3 year old wants to call him either "Best Friend" or "Pickle"!  :)
Thanks for trying to help, but I guess I need to wait and see what his "personality" is like, right now he's still a little scared, I guess since this is his first time away from his mother and litter mates.ÂÂÂ

Is the puppy male or female? Cuz I can think of a ton of puppy names....I work at a dog grooming salon! I have so many dogs that come in with so many great names!!! You can also check out names on the internet! There are a ton of sites to check out specifically for naming dogs!

For some reason, the name "Bowser" comes to mind. :)
