Names Of Your Future Dogs?

[Karen]

I want a Caviler King Charles Spaniel and I want to name him Cecil. Next dog is going to be a Caviler I think. I've had my share of big dogs, next one is going to be a little lap dog and, if indeed it is a Caviler, his name will be Cecil if he's a boy. Not sure what to name her if it's a girl but I kind of have my heart set on a male Caviler.

If you end up with a female, she can always be Cecile, (Se-SEEL) or Cecelia! My Aunt C, who died before I was born, was a Cecile, but Cecelia is more common.

Oh, I couldn't tell you NOW! I ha to meet the dog, see the look, movement, style, get to know the personality. Sometimes takes a couple or 3 day to see what suits!

I usually stick to names with 2 syllables, ending in a "ee" sound. I was taught this is what the dogs can recognize most easily (attending border collie sheep herding trials as a child).

Marlin arrived here at age 9, he knew his name. But I often call him Marlee. He doesn't hear the soft "n" sound at the end anyhow, why bother saying it? LOL.

Of the pups I have now, Lacey is the only one I named.

YES! I like that, Karen! OK, now I have a name for my future caviler male or female I love the name Cecelia but too many syllables for a dog. I like Cecile. So...Cecil for a boy and Cecile for a girl

But when I'm ready to get another dog, the kids will be several years older and I'm sure they'll want a hand in the naming process, so I may not get to choose the name. I guess we'll cross that road when we get to it.

Seeing how chihuahuas have a life span of 20 plus years. And how Mister will be turning 4 this June. I am good on getting another dog anytime soon. And I agree I must see the dog and get a feel for what it's name should be. However IF I do get another dog I want a bigger dog and deff another male.

When I was younger I picked out cool names for potential dogs. And I actually got to name a couple of dogs over the years.

But then I got into rescue, and most of the dogs I take in are already named. So, over the years, I've kind of given up on naming dogs. Of the nine dogs I have now, my son named three of them, and the other six came already named. And not names I would have chosen, by any means. *sigh* I just don't even think about it anymore ... whatever they are named, it's fine.

I do like dog names which match the breed's country of origin, though. I think that's nice. I groom some Scotties named Aberdeen and MacIntosh. And some schnauzers named Wolfgang, Trinka and Zeigfield.

I also like pairs of names on a theme ... I once though Isis and Osiris would be cool names for dogs.

I was thinking about this today, I guess my next dog would be named yellow.

I have found that no matter what you think about or dream about when it comes to dog names they always seem to have their own ideas about who they are.
When we picked out our puppies at the breeder, before we brought them home I was thinking about mythical gods. Zeus and Apollo. Castor and Pollax. Things like that.
But… When we brought them home it was a totally different story. For one thing, we wound up bringing home 3!!! They had 1 male left that the original buyer backed out on and my husband just couldn’t leave him behind.

So we wound up with-

Maximus – He took over right away, acting like a General and commanding attention and worship from everyone.

Loki – He was the real trickster of the bunch, always playing, bringing toys to you and asking to be played with. Rolling over on his back and just proving he was the cutest.

And Rudy – He was the smallest of them all. Only 6 lbs. when his brothers were already pushing 9 lbs. But he never let that keep him back, he had determination and spunk and always kept up with his brothers. So we named him after the character in the movie “Rudy” about the Notre Dame football player who was too small to play, but proved he could anyway.

Though my son was determined to have a dog and name him Shamus. We bought him a Golden Retriever and I have to say the name fits him perfectly!!!

Cecelia has been high on my list for months. Other than that I like solid short names. I love the name Finn.

Ive always been fond of the name Dakota for some reason.

i also used to be fond of the name Toby. but that sounds too close to Kirby now to me. LOL
