dog names?

crake

I've recently adopted a young male dog - lab crossed with a great dane of all things. He's a lovely shiny black and about a year old. Big boy with mostly dane features.

I've seen people here come up with loads of suggestions for various kittens, so I thought I'd have you try your hand on dog names.

Suggest away! (my preference leans towards short names ending with the "ee" sound, but I'm open)

I had a great great dog named Sammy, Sam for short. That seems to fit your criteria. I have a lab now named Clove (or Clovey) and Brutus.... which I just call him Brute sometimes.

Jimmy King

Short and ends in an "ee" sound? Bitey. This was also the name of the possum in the episode of The Simpsons with the monorail.

AlyceInWonderland

Boomer.

Feral

How about a long name with a short version?

Like "Charlemagne Caesar the Celebrious Canine," or "Charlie" for short.

Menace

Citizen Snips, call him Snip-ee for short or something.

Sorry, I should have listed the names that are out (due to previous dogs)

So no charlie, sammy or skippers.

(I like the sound of boomer. that's going on the list for sure)

Ah, well I always liked the name Tonka... neighbor of mine used to have an awesome dog named Tonka.

Names like this were always awesome.

We had a dachsund named Sanderson Wentworth familylastname. Sandy for short.

What impression does the dog give you when you see him? Perhaps something that fits his personality, although its hard when they're still pups.

He's the quiet, gentle giant type of dog. Non threatening. Lean on each other while watching tv. A good, steady friend. I've been playing with the idea of calling him Duffy, too.

i'm gonna need some pictures before i can make any sound name advisories.

rockmonkey

Name him Maximus, Max for short.

All the name with the 'ee' sound on the end I think up are more female names.

Some fun ideas based on other large male dogs I have known:

Casey Junior
Rocky
Bailey
Wrigley
Scooter
Digsby
Bogey

My own dog (a female) is named Beasley, but people think she's a boy half the time when they hear that name too.

LadyM

Ebony?

Sounds like a cool dog.

bloodatonement

Buddy

Jinn

Name him Dr. Gonzo but always refer to him as "my attorney" and address him as Doc


I so wish I had done this with my dog

The Nazarite

The only ones I can think of are:

Chester
Buster
Taxi
Guiness (sp?)

Rook

We always name ours after trees. Holly, Willow, Rowan etc. Find a tree you like or that he resembles.

Incenjucar

Malarkey.

Personally I tend to draw names from random books I have at hand with unusual words in them.

I used to have a snake named Maedar, after the male medusa in Dungeons and Dragons.

thorpe

Thor.

Godfather

Bubs.




Pudding works just as well.

Sarcastro

Goliath.

He's gonna be a big mo.

I also like Captin, Kudos and Budros Budros Ghali ('Bud').

Bud is an awesome dog name.

I'm a huge proponent of the names of the Gods. I finally convinced a friend of mine to name his St. Bernard either Apollo or Zeus, it ended up being Apollo. Great names in that realm however.

Sami

I'm a fan of russian names for snakes and big dogs

I vote Aleksi or Sergei

-edit- and if you're feeling a little Greco-Roman, Jupiter

Captain Cthulhu

I tend to treat my dogs like another human member of my family, so I usually name them human names. My dog names to date include:
Leonard
Abigail
Annie
Amy
Becky
Andrew

and I have a cat named Norman.

Also, though, I always loved the name of Rob Dyrdek's dog, Meaty. Upon seeing Meaty and asking what he would name it, Rob replied "Well, lets tell it like it is. He's a little bag of meat so lets name him meatbag. Meaty for short." That was, of course, for a cute little bull dog.

RubberAC

Monty
Tao(tay-oh)

LondonBridge

A name should fit their personality. A fun dog should have a fun name for example.

King Kong

Ebony?

Sounds like a cool dog.

I have a black Pitbull with this very name.

TehSpectre

Zero = Best dog name evar.

TacoMan

My wife's family has a blackish/grayish pup that looks a lot like a scottish wolfhound. His name is Diesel.

Easy to yell. Very badass.

Sir Red of the Manti

Call him Tiny, just to mess with people.

Grimm

I once knew a dog named simply named dog. They would pronounce his name Dee o gee real quick. Get it?

I named my brother's dog Odin, he's a 95 lb German Shepherd. It fits him well.
