Our new dog needs a name

Thanks, everyone, for all your help with helping us decide whether or not to get a dog and what kind of dog to get. We ended up falling in love with the hound mix at Operation Kindness. :D

He is the absolute sweetest dog. :love Housetrained, gentle, playful, good with our cats, great with the girls. We are in love with him already. But, he needs a name!

Oh he is so cute!! He looks a bit like the dog my family got when I was 14. He was the best dog ever!!!! I'm not good with dog names, we stuck with the ones our dogs had when we adopted them.

No name ideas but he sure is CUTE! :love

Maybe Prince? I dunno.

Aw! :) He's sweet!

How about "Porkchop"? :lol

Duke

Rascal

Baxter, Scout, Buck, Gus, Charlie, Max, Drake, Moe, Ringo, Cooper...

I got it! "Huckleberry". Huckleberry Hound. :)

Butterscotch?

Be careful about letting the kids name him. I had a student once with a dog named Wheel Of Fortune. They called him Wheel for short.

He looks a lot like Chuck from dooce.com

He looks like a wonderful dog! Enjoy him!

Peanut???

Well, considering our dog was named Hookempoocher, I'm not sure you would want any of my suggestions. We called her Hookie for short.

He looks like a Rex or maybe Duke.

Bandit

I don't know, that's the first name that came to mind. Isn't that from a TV show or something?

Aw, he is so cute! I want to pet him so much!

Name suggestions: Slugger - thats all I got - its what my nephew wanted to name their new dog but they went with Sarge (more than 1 kid had a say & Captian was the previous dog that had passed away from old age :( ) but I thought Slugger was a GREAT name!

Congrats on your new addition to your family!

He is adorable! :love

The consensus here is FRED. :lol

He's the color of peanut butter..how about Jif, Skippy or PeterPan....this coming from someone that has a dog named Cider b/c he's the color of apple cider ;)

Todd says he doesn't want a cutesy name (he didn't get a vote in our cats' names- Pixie and Boo, so I probably should let him have a say in this name :lol). He wants something "real", like Max (but Ashton didn't like Max).

I keep calling him Buddy since he doesn't have a name, yet. His name was Hennessey at Operation Kindness, but we want to change it.

Hennessey...I should say so! That's all you need...two precious little girls screaming for Hennessey. :lol

His name was Hennessey at Operation Kindness, but we want to change it.

:lol:lol
We had a dog that came to us named Tequila when I was a kid. My parents didn't want to change it since she was older, but they were embarassed to tell their friends her name.

I like the "Fred" suggestion.

Woohoo! He really is housetrained. :bounce They said he was, but I was still nervous. But, every time I take him out, he goes straight out to use the bathroom. :)

But, he is apparently more comfortable here now, and he's chasing my cats. :p What do I do to discourage that? My poor cats are traumatized. :lol I know they'll get used to each other, but is there anything I can do to help?

Toby?

Chance?

Hershel, Baxter, Barney, Hector, Harry.

Prince Caspian, Prince Eric?

Toby?

I like Toby! :thumbup

Prince Caspian

We had a fish by that name, after a Phish song! lol

Cute doggie!

He looks like a Paxton or Rocky to me.

Nicole, confine the cats to a different room for a day or two.

He is PRECIOUS!! :love

Champ

Dyson? (haha, he'll eat any scraps you drop on the floor, ;))

Baxter, Bud, Deno

I'd use a spray bottle with a stern "no"

Jax

Lucky since it's close to St. Patrick's

Happy

He is adorable!
Congratulations!

Most of our pets get named after favorite characters... Emmitt (Smith), (Princess) Fiona (Shrek), and Jack-Jack (Incredibles).

Do the girls have any male characters they like- with a "real" name? :lol

Here's the top 20 of 2006. Just like Baby Center .com. :lol

How about "Guappo"? Spanish for "handsome".

I think he looks like a Sammy, Charlie or Buster. He's very cute!

He definitely looks like a Rocky to me.

My parents have a dog named Kitty. It is the best name for a (girl) dog. How about Squirrel?

I also like Gus, Frank and Jimmy. I like people names for dogs, though, hence my Maggie and Gretchen.

I've never had a male dog before-always female. I like Lucky (good choice, Dawn;) ), Bob, Fred.

Pete? Prince?

Does he answer to Hennessey? If so- I'd try to keep it similar to that. Tenessee? :lol

I 2nd the squirt bottle suggestion.

Ps, I forgot to say CONGRATS on the new friend! :banana Operation Kindness is a fabulous place. :)

I like Duke. Our chi pup is Aspen because he is white and I LOVE CO.

Toby would be confusing! :lol (That is OUR dog's name)

:hug Aww, he is precious. He looks a bit like the dog I had when I was growing up - her mother was a beagle and her dad was unknown. Her name was Sweetie Pie. :lol I like the name Fred or Freddie for your dog. You might watch him for a while and see what his personality is like. I like Buddy too.

He looks like a Harley to me!

i love baxter or bentley

Baxter is my maiden name. :lol Maybe I could tell my family I was passing down the name. ;)

I like Harley and Bentley. :) I'll see what Todd says when he wakes up.

And, about the squirt bottle- I'm assuming I squirt the dog and not the cats? :lol I'll try that today- it's gotten pretty bad. If the cats are out, I have to pretty much hold his collar, or he'll take off after them. He's very smart (already knows how to sit and is definitely housetrained), so hopefully he'll catch on quickly that it's not okay to chase the cats. When he first saw them, he didn't really react to them, so I hope that we can get him back to that.

He slept in the crate all night without a problem. :) I heard him whine twice (12:30 and 2:30), but it wasn't much, and he stopped within just a minute or two. Took him out this morning, and once again, he went straight out to go potty. :upthumb

Gabe, Nate, Eddie

He is so cute!! How about Auggie (Auggie the Doggie!!!)

He is so cute!! How about Auggie (Auggie the Doggie!!!)

How fun - he's a cutie Nicole.

:rofl

Love it! My mom's oldest collie is Harley. I lived at home when they got him, so I named him (after a Neil Young song).

:lol Teri!

:love Harley! :D

Awww, he's sooooooooo cute. :)
So, have ya named him yet??

Oh, just saw Harley - too cute!!! :)

He is super cute! I think I saw him on their website. My mom just adopted a dog from there about a week ago.
