My puppy will be coming home in two weeks, and I want to have her name all picked out so I can make her an ID tag!
She is an all black standard poodle/golden retriever mix puppy.
I have a few names I like, but so far none of them feels like “the one”.
My 3 favorites so far (in no particular order):
Astor
[name_u]Rue[/name_u]
[name_u]Zola[/name_u]
I also like (also in no order):
[name_u]Scout[/name_u]
[name_f]Willow[/name_f]
[name_m]Arrow[/name_m]
[name_u]River[/name_u]
[name_u]Aspen[/name_u]
[name_u]Dexter[/name_u]
[name_m]Fynn[/name_m]
Help me come up with some more ideas! Or pick your favorite.
I don’t like super common pet names (No [name_f]Maggie[/name_f], [name_f]Roxy[/name_f], [name_f]Lacey[/name_f], [name_f]Bella[/name_f], [name_f]Sadie[/name_f], etc.) I had a dog named [name_u]Max[/name_u] as a kid and it bothered me so much that every other dog I met was also [name_u]Max[/name_u]!!
Congratulations on your incredibly cute new bundle of (canine) joy! She is absolutely gorgeous!!!
Here are a few that jump out at me as I gaze into her soulful eyes:
[name_f]Athena[/name_f]
[name_f]Clara[/name_f]
[name_f]Eartha[/name_f]
[name_u]Ember[/name_u]
[name_u]Jet[/name_u]
[name_u]Onyx[/name_u]
[name_f]Pandora[/name_f]
[name_f]Sable[/name_f]
[name_f]Selena[/name_f]
[name_u]Whitney[/name_u]
[name_f]Zoe[/name_f]
I like pp suggestion of [name_f]Sable[/name_f]!
The other names that come to mind
[name_f]Darla[/name_f] - darling
[name_f]Willa[/name_f] - protector
[name_f]Maisie[/name_f] - little pearl
[name_m]Rune[/name_m]/Runa/Runi - secret lore
Deara - dear one
[name_f]Tula[/name_f] - tranquil, calm
[name_f]Tansy[/name_f] - immortality
[name_f]Alma[/name_f] - nurturing, soul
[name_f]Tallulah[/name_f] - leaping water
[name_f]Sasa[/name_f] - princess
[name_u]Darcy[/name_u] - dark one
[name_f]Hyacinth[/name_f] - a flower
FWIW, I like to get to know the personality of the puppy before I name it. She looks soulful, shy, and sweet in the picture but what if she has mischief or a spirited playfulness at other times?
I vote for Astor or [name_f]Astoria[/name_f], very elegant like a poodle.
My dog’s name is [name_u]Scout[/name_u]; it’s just adorable to me and I recommend it. You could name her something really ridiculous like [name_f]Lark[/name_f], which may just be able to work on a dog, I don’t know…
What about [name_f]Nyx[/name_f]? Short, ancient, but modern-sounding, and most of all not a typical human name…
