Dog Sibling for Larry (hypothetical)

Pet Names
1

I already have an adorable mutt named Larry and when we get a house, we are thinking about getting another dog. I am sold on Beauregard nn Beau if we were to get a boy but I am lost on girls name. I really like “old people” names with Larry, however I don’t want to name a dog something just because it sounds good with Larry. I will also take more suggestions for male dogs.

So far I like…
Lennon (for a girl)
Leroy (boy-we call Larry Leelee though)
Leopold (boy-nickname Leo is too close to Leelee)
Ethel
Selenas (yes Selenas)
Jillian
Thelma
Gertrude
Agnes
Matilda (too grand next to Larry? Plus nickname Tilly is out as someone else in our family has a cat named Tillamook nn Tilly"
Walter (boy)
Jimothy (boy-yes Jimothy)
Chester (boy)
Gilbert (boy)
Hal (boy)

[name_m]Hi[/name_m] there.

[name_m]Larry[/name_m] for a lovable mutt is so cute. I think that [name_u]Beau[/name_u] would be very nice for a brother.

Here are my thoughts on the rest of your list-

Lennon-Meh, it’s okay. I love [name_u]John[/name_u] Lennon; but I don’t like [name_m]Lenin[/name_m]. And I just don’t think that this sounds that pretty.

Leroy-That’s fun, but too close to [name_m]Larry[/name_m].

Leopold-Leo is adorable, but kind of close to [name_f]Leelee[/name_f] for sure.

Ethel-That’d be amazing for a dog.

Selenas-I’m not familiar w/this name. Not sure how I feel about it.

Jillian-Not my cup of tea. Feels a bit meh.

Thelma-Not my style, but could not be more perfect w/Larry.

Gertrude-I’d die happy if I met a dog named [name_f]Gerty[/name_f]. :joy:

Agnes-That’s pretty cute. I know a beautiful cat named this, & love it on her.

Matilda-Yeah, I feel like it doesn’t fit w/Larry & it’s just a little done. Mostly just on these boards, so maybe in real life it feels more interesting. But [name_f]Tilly[/name_f] seems hard to avoid.

Walter-That’s really charming. I met a [name_m]Basset[/name_m] Hound named this before. So stinkin’ cute!

Jimothy-Meh, I don’t know. Seems a tad made-up-ish.

Chester-I want to like this name. I really like [name_m]Chet[/name_m]. [name_m]Chester[/name_m] just sounds weaselly to me.

Gilbert-This has a similar vibe as [name_m]Chester[/name_m], but sweeter. I can totally see this on a dopey lovable pup.

Hal-I like that too. Better as a nn for maybe [name_m]Harold[/name_m]? [name_u]Or[/name_u] is that too close to [name_m]Larry[/name_m]?

@MichelleM I love that you said that about Jimothy. It is definitely made up. It is a refference from one of my favorite TV shows. Same with Selenas. It is a movie reference. It was the was the way this character said Selena. I love your suggestions of Bernard and Ned and I added Bernard to the list. I couldn’t do Ned as a friend of oours had a Ned that sadly passed away. I also also love Susan.
I would say Harold is a bit to similar to Larry as he sometimes gets called Larold.

[name_m]Beauregard[/name_m] “Beau” is cute. Also [name_f]Ethel[/name_f] & [name_m]Chester[/name_m].

I also thought of [name_m]Montague[/name_m] “Monty” or [name_u]Sidney[/name_u] “Sid”

For a girl, how about [name_f]Judith[/name_f] “Judy”
