...PLEASE help me name my new puppy!!! I have been trying to choose a name for him for weeks, lol! I've never had such trouble naming a dog I don't want the usual "chocolate" names, either. I know a name is just a matter of taste, but nothing I try is just right.

Here's what I have it down to: Phineas (Phin) Anybody seen the Phineas and Ferb cartoons? My grandsons love it, and that's certainly not a name you hear every day, lol! It's my favorite choice, but of course Mike HATES it Then I have Tucker, Quincy, Teddy (they look so much like a bear) and Shiner...Mikes favorite because it's a Texas made beer

Ok Ladies, PLEASE play the name game with me

Have you gone to the baby name sites online? That's what I usually do. I have always liked the name Tanner, but never got a chance to use it. Most of the time I wait to see what kind of personality the puppy has...that usually helps alot.

[Blueyes]

Yes Janet, I've looked at tons of name sites, lol! I like to name Tanner, too. Hmmm...

[paula1961]

Sounds like you already have some good names Betsi.. I really like the names Tucker and Janet's suggestion of Tanner. I also like Max and Eddie Good luck choosing one.

How about Ratchet? I really like that one for a male dog. Or Sprocket? Hmmmmm.............Snickers........That's all I can think of at the moment.

I have nephews named Tucker and Tanner!!! That's funny!!!

There's a guy up here who named his dog "River." I like that. Another friend has an "Elvis," which I think is fabulous. I stick with "Beau."

And I'll chip in with the name Kipper. Have you ever seen the British cartoon Kipper the Dog? Cutest dog ever!

I love Phineas too. Shiner is pretty cute too. How about naming him Texas? We named a cat Austin because we love living in Austin so much.

Max is a good name. And I like Tanner Too.

Thanks everybody! You are all good playmates I still don't know what to name the poor thing. You have all given me something to think about!

[Janet]

Good luck Betsi!

How about Buster.......Corky.........Mocha........Tinker (after Tink).......or how about Russell or Stover......LOL........Good luck!!!

Maybe something will happen and you'll know the perfect name. When we got Rowdy, we didn't know what to name him either. We had him at home with us and couldn't decide on the perfect name.

Then Gary ended up in the hospital and before he could go home, he had to walk down the hall. The nurse was helping him with his IV poles, etc, and she turned around and said to Gary, "Come on Rowdy, let's go".

Gary and I looked at each other and said, "That's IT" And that's how Rowdy got his name. It is so ironic though, because it fits him perfectly!

[Blueyes]

I'm hoping something like that will happen, Gayle. That's what I want...a "that's it" name!

I like the candy names Diana...cute! I also like Kirby and Clancy.

[gja1000]

Oh Oh! I like KIRBY!

[JJJ]

How about Dribble or Rascal? Maybe SmuchUm or Tickle. Or just plain Ol' Loverboy

[judy]

Kirby!!! (or Beau!!)

I had an Irish Setter named Brett. I liked that name too.
