I need a good name for my dog.

Asked by sliceswiththings (11723points) October 21st, 2009

My housemate is getting a dog in a couple weeks, and we are stumped for a good name. He is a Teddy Bear dog, shitzuh/bijan mix, two months old. We want a name that’s both brave and sensitive. Any suggestions?

Rex and Fido are quite traditional.

Curly. We used to have a lab with that name. Don’t know why we named him that, because he wasn’t remotely curly at all…he was pretty dumb though…

It’s been a long time dream of mine to get a dog and name it either Soda or Cola, both good names I think.

I’m all about food names, I have a cat named Almond.

Thanks! We’re currently thinking about Aslan or Corduroy. But keep ‘em coming!

Winifred Choppers. That was the name of my granny’s dog, as a kid.

Supposedly dogs named Sammy are very sensitive.

I have known similar dogs to yours named Jake, Ruby, Teddy, Zeus, Moxie, Zuchon, Tucker, Weebo, Stewart, Cotton, Marty, and Madame Bijou Brigit Frizzette.

@ragingloli I’ll see your Satan and raise you:

*Asshole

*Son of a Bitch (I grew up in a bar…A very dear middle-aged couple named their large black dog, S.O.B…just so they could say it out loud)

Well, you could go for something less common like Alf ! Short and easy.
If you got a dog with a loud bark, you could also call him Thunder .
Good Luck in that.

Parsifal.

You could call him Parsley for short.

I would call him Pussy Meow (don’t worry I would pay for doggy therapy to help him with the bullying).

Farfel. Carol. Norbert. Andrew. Diddy. Michael Jackson.

@Dog I have a dog named Grizzy Bear! Griz for short. I’m quite surprised someone mentioned it…I was going to then I thought wait, I don’t think anyone else would like that name. I love it though and it fits him, he’s a big dopey german shepherd.

deni's avatar

I also like Zeus, and all of @tinyfaery ‘s suggestions.

rooeytoo's avatar

You have to wait until you know him, then his name will become obvious!

My dog is Town Dog, because she is a town camp dog, not a bush dog. It suits her. Although she could be a bush dog, she is a great hunter.

Whatever you come up with, practice calling a dog by the name aloud. What looks interesting when written can sound awkward when used trying to attract a dog’s attention.
