Hootie and Hobbs are getting a brother!

[RLC12345678]

On Friday, my husband and I are picking up our 8 week old black lab puppy! I am so excited!!!!! My husband has been wanting a "manly" dog for awhile now and I am happy that the time has finally come for us to get one.

So, I need help with a name! If you can't tell from Hootie & Hobbs' names, I like really unique and somewhat weird names. Any suggestions?!

[Marilyn]

Yea!!!!!! Congratulations on your new puppy!!!! I'm terrible at picking names. First daughter was 4 days old before she was named. Came us with Melissa's name the afternoon after she was born. Took about a week to name Zoe.

Hopefully others will be more help here.

Just wanted to share your joy!!!

Congratulations Rebecca and hubby!!! We've had a couple black labs. Their names were Gus, Rueben, and a Lab/Irish Setter mix name Samson. They are great dogs. You sure won't regret it.

Did you read in Marley and Me about the difference between the American Labs and the English Labs? Don't know if you want to get a Marley....LOL

Thank you SOOO much, Marilyn!!!!!! I am just SO excited! I really hope he gets along with my itty bitty babies. That's the only thing I'm nervous about.

Oh yes!!!!! EEK! We definately are getting a BRITISH lab! And the breeder had 2 puppies left and I asked if one was more laid back and he said one was DEFINATELY more laid back so that is the one we're getting!

My brother-in-law has a black lab named Onyx. It is such an appropriate name I think. Wished I would have thought of it when we had our labs. Raven is a good name for a black lab.. and I do like Marley....LOL Are there any names you've thought of yet yourself or your hubby?

My hubby likes "DALE." I like it alright, but I don't think it is unique enough. Hootie and Hobbs are SO unique, and I would really like another name just as unique as that, you know?

It's really hard to get hubby and I to agree on something. I really like these names, but of course hubby doesn't. Sigh.

He's only 8 weeks old. He will probably be bigger than your babies, but not so much at first. He'll probably grow up thinking he's a yorkie. Just wait till he's grown and he's trying to jump in your lap.

By the way, Dale may not be a unique name, but if your hubby likes it.....

Once you get him home, a suitable name that you both like may present itself. How about Fredrick? That's a dignified name for a dignified black dog.

I like Fredrick. I was trying to think of something dignified. Hubby likes short names, though...he prefers 1 syllabol for some odd reason.

Hubby just mentioned Lamar. Do yall like that?

[Marilyn]

Lamar is good!! Makes me think of Lamar Univ.

How about Beau (pron. Bo)? This is my hubby's suggestion.

[Janet]

If you have a favorite sport, movie, etc....pick out names you like from those venues and then wait till he gets home to see if he fits any of them. We have a friend who loves football. This Shelti would hunch down like a quarter-back all the time so they named him Payton (after Payton Manning)

A good name will come to you.....just wait and see what kind of personality he has.
