Hello! Call me [name_u]Piper[/name_u], I’m new here. In a few months I’ll be taking home my gorgeous collie puppy! He is a sable merle (if you are not familiar, it’s ashen brown with few darker markings) and he’ll be 8-10 weeks by the time we got him.
I like older, historical names or ones with fantasy elements; I’m fond of names like [name_m]Caspian[/name_m] ([name_m]Casper[/name_m], though I personally think [name_m]Caspian[/name_m] suits a Husky more than a [name_f]Collie[/name_f]), [name_m]Horace[/name_m] ([name_m]Ace[/name_m]) and variations of that name, [name_m]Lancelot[/name_m] ([name_m]Lance[/name_m]), [name_u]Dayton[/name_u], [name_m]Percival[/name_m] ([name_u]Percy[/name_u])…
Bonus points if they have nicknames to go with, because practicality. Thanks!
[name_m]Casper[/name_m] is great. I came across the nickname [name_m]Cap[/name_m] in a signature recently and fell in love. I think [name_m]Casper[/name_m] ([name_m]Cap[/name_m]) would be great on a human or pet alike!
