What should we name the puppy?
 

We got a puppy last saturday.... had him almost a week and he's still not named. He's registered at the vet as "no-name".

So any suggestions? We've thought up many but just can't agree on one.

It's a male black lab, apx 7 weeks old....

Ali?

The only name that will do is: Steph's!

OK, Solon Jr. would be OK, too.

He's freaking gorgeous, Teddy!

Awwwwwwwwwwwwww! He's such a dollbaby!

Dunno why...but Lobo popped into my head as soon as I saw him.

Whatever you call him...give him some kisses from Auntie Lixy!!

What gorgeous blue eyes ... maybe that'd be a name ... Blue Eyes or Mr. Blue.

Ohhhhh, I want him!!! Lab puppies are so damn cute!!!! :loveshowe:

Not sure what would be a good name for him, I'd have to meet the little guy first. The first thing that comes to mind though is Bear.

Frankie- cause of the blue eyes

My daughter's chocolate lab is called Pooh Bear. Labs are such affectionate dogs. :thumbs:

lil' no-name.....
 

Actually he has black eyes, dunno what happened to them in that pic.

Thanks for the suggestions.
Steph's.... LOL.
We had thought of 'bear' but it was rejected.
Auntie Lixy, he says thank you for the kisses.

:)

How about "Rufus"?

Isn't that the name of your truck WI?

I say we need a puppy cam so we can watch the little fella. He's just too cute! :loveshowe:

Louie?

sir crapalot. :roflmao:
it looks like he's poopin in that pup pic. :D

k...serious now ... how 'bout bruce after the dark knight, or gotham, or ronin for black knight, or cleese after THE black knight, (or just loony :D) or inky, sable, ebon, raven, jet, kohl, spook, phantom, demon, shade ...i could go on forever. :o

or just go for irony and call him whitey. :D

Yes, Rufus is the name of my truck.


And my truck is black & cute too! :D

Coal? Char?

I'm at a loss for a name for your pup myself, which is unusual for me...we named our lab/blue heeler mix Riley, which has proven very appropriate...

But I couldn't let this thread go w/o adding that he does have his cute on...

& a warning to put everything out of his reach that you don't want chewed on, esp. being a Lab...

He looks like a Pongo to me... so cute!!!

And to ad to Scotz.. from our experience, labs are cute but dumb until they are 3 years old. They keep the cuteness, but get smarter.... lol Make to the 3rd year and you will have an awesome dog all the way around!.. :D

Fenway

Eb?

Short for ebony.

There was a movie I saw "They call me Nobody" so call him NO! Buddy you will be using that phrase quit a bit until he grows up so keep it simple!

Otherwise Elmer comes to mind

Oh no, can't be Fenway............ gotta be Wrigley if you're going that direction. :D

Hi all!!!


How about Beau? Dudley? Max? Logan? Scout? Baily????????????????????????? :)

Kahlua to go with Bailey

Bozz?

WOW! Some great names! I'm telling the family all of them and we really like a few and we've giggled over a few.
wyndhy we can't figure out what pic you mean, good names though.
Chey.. 3 years??!!??

jay-t I can't remember when I was last called 'Buddy", if ever. Funny thing is thats the name hubby favors for the pup.

No name yet.... I'll keep ya posted.
Thank You all!
:)

OMG I am slow..... I just got it, kahlua.... lol, thanks Lil.
:D

Ever see a lab that's afraid of something? My granny has a black lab(has had her quite a few years now) and that dog is freakin' TERRIFIED of thunderstorms! She will pee all over herself trying to run and hide! She'll push people/chairs whatever out of the way to get under the kitchen table or into the master bathroom where she can hide in the shower!

Oh god yes. We had one when I was a kid and the poor guy was absolutely terrified of storms. Poor thing would jump in your lap and just shake.

On that train of thought, name him Dammit...the neighbors will be quite amused with the calls of "Come here, Dammit...get down, Dammit...stop that, Dammit"...

OK, I've just read a lot of books and they all point to this:

If you can't decide on a name, it means you haven't bonded properly.

I flipped through the book further and it stressed this fact:

SHIP THE PUPPY TO TORONTO, CANADA

ONLY STEPH CAN GIVE IT THE NAME IT DESERVES

Sorry, Teddy. It's a fact. PM me for details on how to get this puppy to Toronto. If I don't receive a PM in five minutes, I will call the authorities. There are authorities somewhere that will take the dog and make sure he's with me. Don't think I'm bluffing. Solon Sr. is already chomping at the bit. OK, so he's sleeping and twitching in his sleep but I KNOW he's going to turn into a guard dog and we're ready to have a major international issue here.

If you know what's best for you, the dog will be in Toronto by sunset.

I don't know Steph, I think he looks like a small town dog. I think you should send the little fella to Iowa to be with Uncle IowaMan. :D

I even decided on a name I'd give him.......... Andre. After one of my favorite baseball players, Andre Dawson...... could call him Hawk for a nickname too. :p

Awwwww he's precious cute!

Deefer, deefer dog (D for Dog) *L*

Storm, Strider, Shadow, Bastian, D'Argo

Blackie, Midnight, Conner, Shadow, Poppy

Great ideas.... :)

I was away the past 3 days and no name was decided on while I was gone.

He's still 'no-name', with hubby calling him buddy.

Thank you ALL!! :D

I can see buddy sticking.

I went through the dessert on a horse with no name.

It felt good to be out of the rain?

It's a pity he had no name.




After all, in the desert you can remember your name.

So............. did "Buddy" win out?

My neighbours dog's name is Buddy. It is a cross between a Husky and a Shepperd. Really friendly dog - so much energy.
