Will You Please Help Name Our Puppy? (Jff)

Reese or Reeses (from the diminutive size and colorings).

Or if you want to get all fancy with the middle name - Reeses Pieces Smith :)

Okay, Sanders seems adorable to me! That is definitely my first pick! I agree that Mitzi is to feminine. What about something super masculine to counteract his cuteness like Butch or Spike or Andre (like the giant).

I don't know why, but for some strange reason Colonel Sanders popped into my head... LOL You could call him Sandy for short. :)

We named a female cat Huckle ,a female cat named Berry, and our female dog....................you guessed it, Finn.
What about Bitzi
Do you have any favorite books as a child
Frodo
Bilbo
Scout
Boo
Atticus
Gatsby

Or kings
Charlemagne
Napoleon
Ceasar
Henry
Philip

I love posts like this. I like to have nice stories on MP. They make me smile. :o)

We like old fashioned, strong names (no offense to people with kids with these names) - Hank, Henry, Errol, Otis, Owen, Edgar, Lucas, etc. We usually troll the older Social Security name logs. All sorts of distinguished doggy names await you.

Alternatively you could go fun - Pickles, Buttons, Peanut, Colonel...

I wouldn't go girly for a male dog. If he's a small dog, I think he needs a good solid name. Not macho but strong, firm. Good luck and happy dog naming.

Appolo, Zeus, Hercules

Clifford (the big red dog)
Socrates (sox for short)

I like Spiffy .... Cause he sounds spiffy and cute!

love the reeses pieces name!! very cute. and i do like tanner too!

Ive said this in a one of my posts about a cat but right now im really stuck on the name Gus for an animal. Its just cute.

Monkey
or George ....after Curious George.

The breed is a riot & he will entertain you. Tires of kids easily, though. Watch this as he ages. :)

I, personally don't care for mixed gender names. My husband wanted to name our female dog "Edgar". We ended up going gender neutral. We tried Jessie, but ended up going with Indie. His previous dog was named Bodie. She was also a female. I previously had a dog named Kima (pronounced kee-ma), she was also a female. The male version would be Kimo, which means friend in native american (think Lone Ranger and Tonto a/k/a "Kimo Sabe")

If you like Mitzi (and it is certainly a female moniker), what about another M name? Maury? Milton? Mingo? Mighty Dog? Moondoggie? Milkman? (tee hee) Mayor Munchkin? Mozart? Moochie?

How about Fred? I like it! :)

Of all your names, I like Sammi best. But my good friend just got a little black dog, and named him Jasper. I love that name so much it is so cute!! So thought I'd throw it in. BTW my dog is a Shiba Inu named Tanner, and I also have a cat named CoCo, spelled just that way too!!!!

I like ACE, Bailey, Tanner. But I've always like Brutice for a small boy dog...just sounds so strong...and big because he'll think he is big!

no specific suggestions but a little tip.. the best advice i got when we were picking a name for our dog .. is that u need to yell it.. and see if it seems right cuz youre going to be doing alot of that with a puppy if its not a name u can picture urself screaming at the top of your lungs then its not the right name.. my dad actually stood in the yard n yelled the 2 names we were trying to decide on.. also its reccommended that u dont pick anything too hard to say or longer than 2 sylabols
-of all the names other people suggested i like reese

Buddy is a good name.

We named our first dog after a band we love, his name was panic (widespread panic). Our next was named after one of their albums, her name is tewsy (The Earth Will Swallow You whole), next is a song her name is lilly (Little Lilly), our last if we had got to name her would have been C. Brown. But we didn't so she is Lucy. Is there an activity that you guys all love to do together. Pick a theme, works for us. Good luck!

Jazzy, Ace, Ajax, Axel, Copper, Mojo, Zeus?

It's not easy picking a name. We just got a puppy last week, a 10 week old Boston terrier. My daughter picked out the name Lucy and thats the one we all agreed on.

I like the name Mitzi and I don’t think it matters if it is a girly name with dogs unless it is a big masculine dog.

I like CoCo! My friend has a dog like that named Cleo and my parents have one named Daisy! Have fun!!!

Buddy, Peppy, Tanner ?

We have relatives with Shiz-Tzus. One is named Freddie. Another is Diesel.

I like the tough sounding names for little dogs: Achilles, Thor, Flex, Moose

Based on color: Topaz

For the anniversary: Titanic

I like Tippy too!! My son named one of his stuffed dogs that and I thought it was a very cute name!

He's a little dog so you need a cute little name to fit him.
Benny, Bailey, Benjie, Gunner, Gus, Sam, Max, Manny, Miles.

I am not a fan of actual names for animals, it gets confusing when talking about them, but that is just me.
My mom's dog is Sammi, but she was already named when we got her.
We just named our kitten Mumble, she had a hard time walking and she would slip and slide, so we named her after the penguin on Happy Feet...
Just a thought... :) Good Luck and let us know what you decide.

Pick a name of a character from your favorite tv show or book.

What about Rocky? That's the name I gave my little Shih Tzu. I ended up calling him Punkin, though. Not sure how that happened. :)

I love my pets names so here ya go....Elvis, Brandy, Smoky, Pudgy, Baby, Babybop, , Charlie and Mylo. Oh and Jessie and Katy, Itchy and Scratchie!!

Romeo, Sammi, Cosmo, CoCo

We have a shih tzu - we love her so much - we rescued her when she was a year old from an abusive home. Her name was Bella when we got her, but our other dog a cockapoo name is Bella so we had to change the new dogs name, while trying to think of a name we called her "little dog" because she was so small 3-4 lbs because the previous owner starved her. Little dog stuck and now that is her name. It was funny she would not come to any of the other names that we tried.

There are some great dog naming websites that group the names into all kinds of categories for you--by color, nationality, male, female, unique, popular, etc. I found them a couple of years ago when I was naming our Poodle puppy. I personally think Mitzi is too feminine sounding for a male dog, although my male dog is Remy. It's a French man's name and there are several famous men named Remy (and the male rat from Ratatouille), but for some reason people seem to think it sounds feminine. My all time favorite pet name is Loki, the Norse god of mischief. I had a JRT named Loki that lived to be 17 1/2. However, with the new Avengers movie out the name Loki might either become popular or get a bad rep. BTW, it's not a silly post and I asked a similar question in September or October of 2010 if you want to search the archives. I got a lot of interesting responses.

We name our pets after rock and rollers. How about Elvis, Zapper (after Frank Zapper), Jimi, or Ringo?

Or, what about Fonzie?
