Name that dog

[C8PPO]

Some excellent suggestions here, I knew I could rely on PH - Names Matter.

Some laugh out loud moments, we'll have to compile a shortlist now I think.

A few more
Della, Dani,Darcy, Dasha, Dixi

Has nobody suggested "Deefer"?

Good man for rescuing her

Any pictures of her yet?

Just this one - we should have taken more, but tempting fate a little as she's not confirmed as ours yet:

You fail.

With a bit of luck, we will be making an addition to the family next week in the shape of a lively rescue GSD bh - and if she arrives, she's going to need a name.

It has to start with "D" - MrsC's rules for pets are that they have to have names alliterative to their type, so starting with D for dogs, M for mice, etc etc.

I'm stuck between Difflock and Distributor at the moment; the alternative being human names, so Doris is quite high up the list.

Fire away (and no, we won't be calling her Deefer.....)

Update:

Well we're collecting her this afternoon but still not settled on a name! Pics to follow on the Dogs thread.

Well, we settled on Duffy in the end. She came from a Welsh pound so that was the rationale!

Pics on the Post your Dogs thread now.

Thanks for all the input.

Well done, lovely dog, and rescued just in time by the sound of it! Always distressing when charities put down healthy dogs - thankfully there are plenty of breed specialists out there that will take them on.

Nice one, she looks great

[C8PPO]

Thanks - yes, apparently the Welsh pound gives just 7 days for someone to claim the dogs, or that's that

Just thought I'd pounce on the suggestions given,

I'll hopefully be taking in a Golden Retriever from a rescue centre in the next week or so. My problem is that the dogs name is Charlie and has been called that for 3.5 years. Nothing wrong with the name Charlie, infact I love it. Trouble is my 4 year old daughter is also called Charlie

Now, I've been advised that I can change the dogs name slightly so if you have any suggestions I'd appreciate it.

So far I have Marley

over to you....

I have a lab called colin - named after my father. Never causes a problem TBH when he visits as the tones of voice used tend to be different. The little girl will also probably love the fact that the dog was called after her

[alfa pint]

Dinah.

[becksW]

Harley. I know a couple of dogs with this name and one is actually a retriever, I think it suits him.

I was thinking along them lines myself but I'd still like to keep it open to suggestion.

mmm, I like it!

(Shame it's the name of 300 kilos of overpriced rusty American rubbish but I'm sure it could work)
