    Hi all, just got a rottwieller pup yesterday, (9 weeks old) and can't decide on a name for her, I was thinking about Judy but it dosen't fit her, we have a Doberman called Nigel and a German Shepherd called Molly, neighbourhood kids are coming up with all kind of names, Montana, Hope, Ella, Ruby, D'arcy, She looks like a little bear cub, absolutely gorgeous, fierce little nature too, she growled at me today when I came home. (Molly will soon knock her into shape) I quite like D'arcy or Hope, but hubby is not to keen on either one but no suggestions from him so far, Lol. Local teenage lads coming up with usual crap, Killer etc, I quite like Sally but thats my mates name...
    Anyway all, my baby needs a name, all suggestions considered.

    Karlog - nice list of names, but the rotts a girl so I'm not sure how many will suit :)
    My aunts male rott is called Yogi! lol
    We went through a few with our Lhasa pup, she's Daisy now.
    We tried Poppy and Sophie but they didn't suit. She responded to Daisy right away so that was what we chose.

    Congrats. They are a great dog.

    My friend had three Rottweilers while we were growing up - Lady, Tyson and Lucky (who incidentally wasn't that lucky in the end :( )

    We always used to talk about bringing "Lucky" down to see friends who didn't know what kind of dog he was, and they always got a great shock when we rolled down with a big male rott rather than a chihuahua or other fluffy little guy!

    From the other suggestions I like Tara or Mr Giggles, lol

    Lol nah I just wasn't expecting my name when I opened the thread.
    Apparently theres an elephant and a gorilla with my name :eek::pac:

    Names are tricky, Daisy wasn't named for the first week &half that we had her, as I wanted to see her personality, get to know her, then names sit better.
    My friend has 3 golden labs, HoneyBear, Miss Molly and Little Lady :)
    Another friend (and boardsie) has 3 dogs, Rhodesan ridgeback called Phoenix, Huskey called Leon and :o what's Kya... like a huskey but white and fluffy. Darn brain.

    Em... other names, aunts rottweiler is Yogi I think I said that, Yogi's gf in the cartoon was Cindy! ;)
    lol I just thought of calling her Piglet!
    Girls names...Maisy, Belle, Bella, Ellie, Lily (my adult Lhasa), I'll think of more...

    Friends of mine had three generations of Rotts when we were younger. Can't remember the grannies name but the other two were called Java and Bali.

    Always liked those names.

    OP do you prefer human names or pet type names, any films you really like where there's a character you like the name of? Do you prefer Irish names?

    Sometimes if you give the pup a few weeks a name just pops into your head once you learn they little ways.

    We are seriously considering calling our new pup who we're getting on the wkend 'Mr Binky'. Had a cat called Rover and have a guinea pig called 'Pig' so not great on the oul names.
