Registered names?

[coco-bean]

For both Nova and Buck I picked out their call names first and then wanted something to go with it for their registered name. I had a hard time with both of them.

Nova is a type of star so I wanted something to do with stars or space. One day I was browsing through websites and saw another dog named something like "Kennel Name's Out of This World" and I modified that to fit what I wanted. Her name is Simply Outta This World.

When I named Buck I asked the people here for help because I couldn't come up with anything. Tasha (Crazy-Cat-Lover) suggested Buck Naked and I loved it, I thought it was really funny. Nova is the name of my future kennel so I put that at the beginning and got Nova's Buck Naked.

I'm getting an ILP on Luka soon and I can't think of anything. I might need to get suggestions from here again.

I already have the call name and regisitered name picked out for my next dog. I have one picked out in case she is yellow and another if she is black. The mom is yellow but a sire hasn't been chosen yet (and the puppies aren't due until October) so it's still up in the air as to whether I'll be getting a yellow or black.

I like to keep things relatively simple with registered names. I, too, pick out a call name and work the registered name around that. I was lucky enough to be able to put my "kennel" name on the front of my dogs' names. As a little girl, I lived on the banks of the Deep Fork river. Well, river is a bit of a big term for it. It is the headwaters of the Deep Fork river that runs through the 'burbs of my city, but it's really just a polluted city creek. But, I decided as a girl my kennel of dogs would be Deepfork's. And, I don't really have a true "kennel" either, as I don't breed. So:

My dog Laika was named Laika of Deepfork.

My sheltie Aslan was named Deepfork's Aslan.

The one I like the best is my sheltie Jericho. He can only hear loud noises. At the Batttle of Jericho in the Bible, the walls of Jericho fell after the attacking army issued a loud noise. He is Deepfork's Battle of Jericho.

When I was looking for a name for Sheena I wanted something where her call name worked with her registered name. I also wanted soemthing that described what she was and is to me. I purchased Sheena mainly to be my Service Dog(she was meant, and has, given me my life back) and if she excelled and passed her health tests she was going to be the fondation bitch for a Kennel where my soul focus was to breed dogs that had the potential to be service dogs for the disabled. A lot of stuff to put into one name. But I found it in the Greek language. Sheena in Greek means "Gods' Gift of Grace." Sheena is a gift from God to me. So her registered name was a play on that "Debbie's Gift of Gods Grace". It has been 3 long years since she first came to me and changed my life and in hopefully a few more months we will have our first successfully breeding to hopefully change some other disabled persons life for teh better.

Luca does not have a registered name because we got him from a rescue.

I just pick a songtitle or really neat songline from my favorite band (R.E.M.) and add my last name to the front of it.

Hard to believe given how I agonize over selecting thier actual names, but I am pretty loose with registered names. Whichever pops into my head first and sounds all right... I just want to compete in a few nearby breed events. Currently have no interest in chasing after big championships or breeding or a kennel, so it is just kind of a formality.

I had a hard time thinking of a registered name for Royal. Like the others have said I too picked his call name first and wanted the registered name to correlate. His breeder actually came up with the registered name and I thought it was perfect! "Windswept's Diamond Royale" Its clever because his dam's registered name is "Kossok's Diamond Solitaire".

Years ago when we had our Boxer I named her Abbey, registered name (which was never registered haha) Summit View's Abbey Road- I was a huge Beatles fan at the time (well, still am I guess! haha)

Ive seen some awesome registered names, people get so clever!!

Blair and Electra are my only kennel club regsitered dogs and they are:

*kennel name* My Boyfriend Blair, and this actually has a story lol Blair was gievn to us right after my parnets split up, Blair was Blairs litter name, and before my mom met my dad, her boyfriends name was...Blair. so, since a dog named Blair ended up with my mom right after she split with my dad, the registered name "my boyfriend Blair" came up as a joke..and it stuck lol

Electra is KDs Storm Warnin4 Tollchester, no story as i didnt choose it, she came with the name lol

I see what the sire/dam reg names are. See if I can get something from them. I ask my mentor, I ask PT. PT actually named Houston.LOL his reg name was Juroblyn's Trouble in Texas. His owners now renamed him to Juroblyn's Little Texas Tornado.

Gracie's reg name is Juroblyn's This Time Around. Her reg name is my favorite Hanson song. I named her this because I had tried to show another sibe, but we never made it to the show ring. So "this time around" I was gonna make it to the show ring with Gracie. I did, but not for long. She was DQ for being 1 1/2in over the breed standard.

Unfortinatly Charlie's breeder was a scam. We got our pup and never heard from him again.grr! no papers, so we can't register him. We were going to name him LexDot's Long Haired Country Boy.

Another cute reg name and call name combo is Gracie's only sister. My mentor own her. Her call name is Aretha. Boy, does it fit her! She's a screamer! Her reg name is Juroblyn's Rock N Roll Baby. That's an Aretha Franklin song.

the breeder register the names in the UK so you really don't have a choice
you can change it for a fee though, just another way for the Kennel Club to make money I think

I think that would be the idea with that one. Wow. You'd figure it would be up to the owner.

I picked a call name first and then worked in the kennel name, and then thought of something clever. Pippyn is the AKC dog in the house. Full name is Fantasia's Big Pippyn Pwn Puppy. I get a lugh out of that. If my TFT was AKC I wanted to name him Sir Beacan Nublin since all he has is a nub.

I do agree though. People get very creative with registered names. I love what they come up with.

I have some from when she was a week old, and had a thread, but Zoto did that tradeover and broke all of my links. I'll repost a couple here hehe, but don't want to hijack the thread.

Kai was supposed to be registered, but we had some problems with his "breeder". I was going to register him as "Satelier's Fool in the Rain". I'm a Zeppelin fan. "Fool in the Rain" is my favorite Zeppelin song and seemed to fit him because Kai is such a goofy boy.

Kaedyn can't be registered because he was adopted. I gave him a fancy name anyways.. just cause it's fun. He is "Dazed and Confused".. another Zeppelin song.

Keeva's contract says that I have to have "BayArea" at the end of her reg'd name. She will be registered with the AKC and CKC as "Komplete Khaos O'BayArea". It fits.. because living with her is chaotic.
