NEED A DOG NAME, PLEASE HELP!

[RyanLevy]

Hello all,

it's been a long time since i've posted.

We got a little dachshund/terrier mix last year and named it Helo.

We just got a border collie/lab/something unknown mix yeaterday and cannot come up with a name for it. She is an adorable little girl, mostly black with a little white on her chest and front paws.

My wife would prefer something not sci-fi, it doesn't matter to me as long as I like it and it would fit her.

Please give use some suggestions.

Currently we've been calling her Molly, I pushed for Boomer, but Robyn would like that for a boy's name.

Pippin. You could her Pip or Pippi for short.

If your boy dog is Helo, shouldn't your girl dog be Athena?

Dogger.
As in "Dogger, north 3 or 4. Walkies. Good."

I was told that it should be something with S and two syllables. The latter seems to work more then anything though, but your dogs over the last ten years have been called Sigge, Keiran, Zilver and Jum-Jum. All responded very well to their names.

I once had a dog called Telka. I am not sure if it means anything as I made it up especially for my dog.

Waldo...then if it gets out you can ask....

Mary...as in Sister Mary Clarence...Sister Act, sounds like the dog is wearing a habit.

I had a friend who named her dog Kool-Aid, so she could yell "Hey Kool-Aid!" and it would come running.

Piddles.

Or name it "the dogs", that way if somebody let's your dog out without asking, you can say...

Sadie. That's my dog's name.

And if your wife is not into BSG, you can tell her it's from Greek mythology!

My great-grandmother, a somewhat eccentric woman who died in 1936, called her dog Arsehole and used to call for it from the front steps of her home. Her neighbours used to have a good laugh when she told them that she was going to 'give her Arsehole a bath".

She sounds like a pretty girl and a pretty girl should have a pretty name.

Coffee (couldn't resist)
Baci (Italian for kiss)
Lily (Harry Potter's mum for the sci fi connection)
Coco (name of my last dog)
Melody (name of one of my current dogs)

Classic dog name.
