Suggestions for naming a puppy!!

[Maggoty]

A new member is joining our ever growing family tonight. It is a chocolate labradoodle 8 week old puppy. He is quite a chunky pup with long wavy fur. But we are arguing over names. We already have loads of animals (cats and rabbits) and we tend to go for names like Carter, Barry, Roxy etc (rabbits) and Ernie, Jacob, Colin, Edie (Edith), Malcolm etc (cats). But we are stuck on naming the pup. I like names like Dave, Phillip, Deacon etc but the boyfriend is going for the more obvious like Harley (the bf likes motor bikes!), Cadbury (yuk!!) etc. Any suggestions?? So far Deacon and Granville are in the forefront... but would appreciate more suggestions.

.....run out of names on those though any ideas??

ideas for your dog...hmmm

Barney is nice but I find Homer a very funny name, oscar and fraser are nice and smart sounding.

Marmite, snoopy, paddington, marmalade, bournville, terry 'chocolate orange', button, bob, bailey<----like that,
bernard, sam, sammy, smithy, joe, jack, jake

I Have a pup and called him Bailey. But Barkley does seem quite a good name. I also used to have a dog called Prince coz he was my little prince! Good Luck.

We have had various dogs and names.
Winston cos he looked like winston churchill
Tansley - grumpy old dog, named after my boss at the time
seun(shen) gallic for charm
talisman
buffy
bader

The rabbit is hutch, the guinea pig is flag, the cat is tikka
fish - slipper, spot and coconut milk(chosen by a 4yr old)

With dog's names, remeber you sometimes have to shout them outloud, my aunt had a cat called cooking fat, try it quickly.
My mates dog was deefer or d for dog
On telly last night was a ridgeback called wasabe, thought that was different too

Must admit i like barclay

[Maggoty]

Thanks for all your ideas. Others that my colleages have come up with are

Boot
Kick
Go away (as in Come here Go away!!)
Naked (so that I can walk Naked down the street)

any more.........?

Murphy or Guinness?

[lafrancaise]

Our neighbours' dog's called Davidson, they too like motorbikes.

[Maggoty]

Good thinking lafrancaise... I liked the name Dave but bf wouldn't entertain it - it may go for Davidson tho!!

[drgnrdr]

Chopper
or Chomper....

[starfishgill]

To many of us our animals are our life, or certainly they make it better.

How about 'Biscuit', as in Chocolate Labrador.....

[abilicious]

On the subject of food ... Bourbon? Or Oreo?

[lilacben]

Ben.............

[Thicko2006]

Dave.

[knobbynonuts]

when we first got out golden retriever he was always bouncing all over the place (hasent changed much in five years though) so we called him bouncer

[knobbynonuts]

But if you decide on calling him barkley be carefull when you call out his name as if there is a 6 foot 6 inch all in wrestler in earshot of you that is with his girlfriend called leanne and you shout out bark lee then he might think you are insulting his girlfriend.........
Sorry about that one....
