Thread: Puppy names needed.

Tweet

Hey all,
In a few weeks we will finally be brining home two female puppys. I'v had a while to think about names but can't decide. Infact I don't even know what my top five choices were in the first place. They are black and white boarder collie/aust.cattle mix's. There so cute and tiny.

Cookie is not an option. lol. So any names you can think of would be great.
Thanks.

Hi HR, congrats on the addition to your family. Well, I have many names in mind for such breeds, although pictures would really really help a great deal.
Let me know what you're looking for and open too, such as: Halloween names, Gothic, vampire, Metaphysical, Spiritual, Romantic, Dark, New Age, Healing names, Mystical/Fantasy, celtic and other old world based names, or just mainstream names.

You don't have to know what category as a given law, just maybe some of the category's that interst you as well as turn you off. And if you know anything about their personalities that would be a great help as well.

Sporko? Ludlow? Knockwurst? Bela? Electra Glide? Hera? Juno? Klondike? Rafferty? Julia? Ditzy? Shemp? Tina Louise? Trigger? Fargo? Winona? Dusty? Ann-Margret? Theda Bera? Ethel?

I think its important to have a good name for a puppy, the last one we got was a black chihuahua, I was hangin up stockings for the dogs this year, I know, dont rag me, and I hung his up and it said Spooky on it, I had to laugh,thats not his name now it was changed to Skurvy a month later. I also have a white chihuahua whose name was a no brainer, I am the hugest Nightmare b4 Christmas fan, and Zero, Jack Skellington's ghost dog was so the obvious choice. Then there is Twiggy, a boston terrier, named after Twiggy Ramirez from Marilyn Manson. Good Luck finding a name.

congrads on the new puppies , show us a pic when you get them home

as an ex collie breeder i can come up with a few but i always like to see the dog or breed caracteristic and temperment before deciding on a name that often will influence the choice , wait till you get them home and see how they are

border collies are very intelligent , outgoing , wore raised in the past years to heard cattles and sheep , their known to be loyal too ...

so 2 names for these little sisters? that come to mind would be feisty and spunky

maybe browse here Dog Names, puppy names - find male or female dog names

good luck with the puppies

Thanks guys! Bella is an 88% chance. As far as personalitys go there only four weeks old so it's kind of hard to tell. They are very smart and loyle but that also depends on how you raise them. There mom is very sweet, friendley, smart and loyal. As far as a catagorie I don't have a prefrence. They should be home in about two weeks so I'll be able to get some pictures then. I googled a bunch of names but most of them seem kinda silly.

Bella is beautiful HR, wonderful choice

Wristslitter, I just love all the names you've choosen, Zero was a totally wicked choice And I think it's lovely "about the stockings" I spoil my babies on thier birthdays, and especally Halloween. I don't celebrate xmas so no stockings in my house, but I just loved to hear that those who do include their non-human family members into the holidays by the way, do you have any pics of them?

Thanks Dutchess, here is a pic of the black terror ,Skurvy, thats on my lap as I type and Zero. No Xmas? I dont do easter, kinda not religious here.

I have a Border Collie and the words loyal, sweet, and hyper fit her very well, but at the same time, she is such a LADY at times.... (well, I'm comparing her to my german shepherd/red heeler mix, haha) that it's really hard to find a name to fit her.... them. Border Collies, that is. Mine is named Zoey, which is a combo of our sons names - Zane and Joey. (It was to be both their dog)..

Anyways... just think about the characteristics - oh so smart, loyal, (with very distinct personalities....) and come up with some ideas... but I really feel like you can tell their personality at a really early age... try one out for a few days, or a week, then you will KNOW a good name once you get to know them.

Spirit
Smoke
Wraith
Primrose
Boo (also Mandarin for No)

Just a few quick ideas
