Dog name suggestions?

    Mornin' all...

    Bit of a lighthearted thread if ye don't mind?

    Sometime in the next week we will know the sex of our newest addition. Depending on the litter size and sexes, it could be either a dog or a bitch.

    We've settled on a bitch if things go to plan, but we may end up taking a dog. If it's a dog, we've 2 names in mind.

    If its a bitch... Not so much. Our Husky Hugo was named ever before we saw him (odd I know) and we'd like to settle on a name for the new arrival, another (hopefully female) Husky.


    Only two criteria... (I know, weird right?)

    1. It must be a 'persons' name. Like Lucy or Kate. None of your storms, shadows or ghosts, (all perfectly fine just not our cup of tae) if you follow me?

    2. It has to have only 4 letters.
    Are we space balls or what? ;P


    So, what say ye A&PI peeps?

    Lyra

    or Jack

    Hugo is a nice strong Nordic name.
    Maybe something from a similiar deriviative.

    Spud.

    LOL, spud is my own dogs nickname. His real name is buddy, but I call him spud most of the time. :)

    It all depends on how my day goes, but I call him spud, spudball, spudser, spuddy. The poor dog has too many names.

    Hugo out of "Lost" he's a hungry man as we should all know, so it only makes sense not to call him Hugo :D

    I stick with Squigler.

    I'm a fan of Maya... Anyone ever seen the movie '8 below'? Maya is one of my fave names BUT herself isn't gone on it.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,860 ✭✭✭Hooked


    Cheers for all the replies peeps! Apart from my fave Maya, we both love Indy/Indi... And there's loads more food for thought. Fingers crossed now that there's a bitch up for grabs from the litter.

    Will be back in the new year with pics, all going to plan. We're waiting almost a year and I'm getting very excited.

    If I had a euro for every time I've head 'Hugo boss'... And the car is now the 'Hugo bus'... Though 'boss' isn't the most feminine of names!

    'Indi' is sounding even better today!

    Fingers crossed there's a female in the litter for us...


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 197 ✭✭SaceyFlynn13


    I know it's really frustration with names had the same problem when I got my bitch.. I finally went with Bella really suited her (I know that sounds weird to say that about a dog but it did suit her) it's a really pretty name too
