Dog names anyone??

[theterrierman]

In less than a month, I'm going to have a Brittany puppy, so I'm trying to think of names for it. I kind of want to name him (most likely getting a male) after a famous guitarist, or something music-related, because I'm a major guitar guy. Or at least a really unique and cool name. Any suggestions are appreciated. All I've come up with so far is Fender and Lou Dog.

How about Led for Led Zepplin? :D

[borzoimom]

[Sevaede]

How about Wylde Child - after Zakk Wylde? :D

How about Wylde Child - after Zakk Wylde? :D

I see we have a Black Label Society fan here. Nice. And props to elizabethann for Led. Two points from me too :D

[IRescue452]

How about Gibson, Fender, Luthier?

Here is a list of the top guitarist (I like #30 myself - Buckethead). :D
How about Santana? I think you won't know what to name your dog until you actually get it. Then I think a name will come to you. Good luck and please post pics once you get your new pup.

[junescrater716]

Aero for Aerosmith. I love aerosmith, I think thats how you spell it if not I've been out of school for too long already!!!! lol

[wolf_Q]

Edge (for The Edge--guitarist of U2 ;) )

[Sophist]

I kinda like your first suggestion of Fender.

Random guitar-related words that sound like they'd make ok names when I am overly tired and hopped up on Nyquil:

Fret (sounds like Fred, which I like as an animal name for some odd reason)
Tab (although that sounds more like a cat name)
Amp (good for a high-energy dog)
Bass

[Sophist]

And now some more general music-related names that don't deal with guitars specifically:

Zemirah is a hebrew name, the meaning of which is usually given as something alongthe lines of "joyous melody"

Lirit means something like "Musical grace"

Trilby is Italian for "one who sings musical trills" (good for a vocal pup)

Cadeo is Vietnamese for "folk song"or just "song"

Carmen means song or melody

Liron is hebrew for "my song"

Shiri is hebrew for "Song of my soul"

Lyric (obvious meaning) or a derivative, Lyra.

Capo =)

[theterrierman]

CAPO!!! lol...thanks for all the suggestions. I'll go over the list like 20 more times, decide on a dog name, then I'm stuck with coming up with his reg. name :p And I'll try to post as many pics as I can with my friends dig. camera.

If you are a "guitar guy" then personally what
name could be better than "Hendrix"? Maybe "Purple Haze "

[Argranade]

Fender sounds like an awsome name to me, it's uniqe & not commen,

Good luck with whatever name you choose, I named my bird after Billie - Joe lol ...

Ohh & hello fellow Canadian lol,

[bckrazy]

I immediately thought of Slash & Axl. Both would be really cute dog names, and Guns n Roses are freakin awesome. =) also... even though he was a bassist and not very good at it... Sid Vicious is a cute name.

[Argranade]

Oh yeah I forgot to suggest some names lol, now here are some good players,

Hendrix from Jimi Hendrix .. love that name lol.

Dimebag from Dimebag Darrell, PANTERA, DAMAGEPLAN

Hammett from Kirk Hammett, ACDC!

Iommi from Tony Iommi BLACK SABBATH

Hope that helped, those are some of the best players on earth (:

*edit* Forgot one of my other fav Bands lol.

Buxton from Glen Buxton, ALICE COOPER :D

[*iluvskipper*]

Hmmm... How about.. Zepplin, Gibson, Santana, Hendrix, Marley (like Bob Marley), Eagle (the Eagles), Kaiser (the Kaiser Chiefs), Ramone (the Ramones)... any of them? Well let us know what you pick! ;)
