New Puppy! Needs a Name!

NoxyNoxy Registered User regular
edited January 2011 in Help / Advice Forum
So, my fiancee and I just adopted a puppy. Unfortunately we are having trouble coming up with names. She likes old fashion names like Winston and I like somewhat random names like Spud. So basically, everything is fair game.

Mostly I figured that a mass brainstorm might help us decide or come up with a good name for the chap, so here goes...

This is our puppy. It is a boy. It is a Japanese Chin/Poodle mix. So a mutt basically.

    I like Winston a lot. But my husband makes fun of me for liking old names too.

    I ate the entire cake. At one point, I remember becoming aware of the oppressive fullness building inside of me, but I kept eating out of a combination of spite and stubbornness. No one could tell me not to eat an entire cake - not my mom, not Santa, not God - no one. I would eat cake whenever I damn well pleased. It was my cake and everyone else could go fuck themselves.

    Fluffy!

    Snowy?

    you can also call this cute puppy "bunny". It'll probably confused a lot of people.

    Thanks for all the suggestions so far. I've shown her this thread and we've come up with a bunch of names ourselves. I find it really difficult to name pets so I am leaving most of the deciding process up to her.

    Anymore names would be appreciated and I'll update when we come to a decision.

    I just hope she picks a name I like, heh.

    My family has an odd habit of naming dogs after alcohol, so I am going to offer Wit. It can refer to wheat beer (witbier) or intellectual humor.
