Name the dog
« on: November 03, 2008, 01:24:52 PM »
Hi folks, the forum is a bit quiet at the moment, so I'll try to revive it a bit. My old dog recently died ( :( ) and although a new one is not on the agenda yet (we want to take the time to miss this one), I know that we will eventually adopt another dog in a year or 2.
So, what should we call him/her that is MK related but not to obvious (not Mark, for example)?
Let your imagination flow, don't be afraid to be silly!

Off the top of my head, some initial thoughts for your new dog's name:

Danny: big cuddly dog like a labrador.
Glenn: tall lean dog like greyhound.
Matt: good name for dog but not sure of type - one that hides behind a large piece of furniture??
Guy: faithful, reliable dog like Golden Retriever
Emmy: classy female dog with long hair, possibly some top end type of collie.
Rudi(ger)
Croc: pugnacious little dog like terrier.
Coaly:black dog.

Must get back to work - more later!

Rudiger is my favourite so far, but then for some reason it's always been my dream to own a Daschund and call it Bismarck.

Matt: good name for dog but not sure of type - one that hides behind a large piece of furniture??

No, obviously Matt would be a very manly, heroic, handsome dog, eg beautiful German Shepherd or Labrador.  ;)

Sorry about your dog, Nat!  :(

You did say don't be afraid to be silly, so here's a very silly one:

Wag  (the dog)!   ;D

My choice would be Freuder, though.
Goin' into Tow Law....

thanks Val, he was old, that's what happens. Hard but that's life  :(

Wag (the dog), excellent  ;D

I knew woosh (the giraf), the one that came to close to a helicopter....

Fender is a great idea! Search party's over girls and guys, we have a winner!


And it will go perfectly our our son's name! (Leo)

No, I was kidding, the search party isn't over, I want more ideas. See if you can beat that. And maybe Mr Rollergirl won't like it, (although he likes guitars too)

Hank
Marvin
Gretsch

There's a gazillion names for that pooch!

Romeo
Elvis
Cal
Harry
Johnny
Billy
Sonny
Lonnie
Marlon
Mac
Tink
Jack
Vic (or Ray)
Belle - if you wish a female of the species
Maggie ditto
Kroc - spelled with a K.

I think Romeo Rollergirl would be a top choice.

Rollergirl, so sorry about your old dog. My Max has been gone since 1984, and I STILL wake up thinking he's in the room or is standing outside the door, waiting to be let in...and sometimes I am calling for him when I wake up. I should get a dog too. As far as names, Rudiger was what first came to mind, but that's been said...what about Les Paul? Then you'd have a first AND last name!  Or Sailor...or Mason...or Dixon?
