I ask my wife what she thinks we should name them, the end

"Nalu". My Wife named him. I'm more of a Hank or Ruger or Dempster guy. But she likes Hawaii and Nalu means "Ocean wave".

I've always felt dog names should be 2 syallables, they seem to react better when called.

When my kids were little they'd name all of our outdoor pets by the color. So a gray cat was "greyee", black... blackee, orange... orangee. Then we had a few variations of "fluffy" (the original) which morphed into Mr Fluffy Pants on the last fluffy cat we had. Then they graduated to giving the outdoor cats names that sounded like Disney characters. We have one named Annabella. My oldest daughter named her cat Cleo because we needed a "Queen" with Ace (black as the ace of spades) and Jack (because we already have an Ace) our dogs. My youngest named her cat Cali but it's not a calico. The only cat I named is Brutus Beefcake. I don't know why my wife and kids won't let me name pets anymore.

My wife named him Cooper which she regrets because I started to call him Pooper (which stuck). People laugh and think it's a cute name. I tell them he's the "Pooper" because we all do what we're good at

My male Boxer is named JAX after the lead character of Sons Of Anarchy.
The bond between me & him is as strong as the club members bond to each other was.
I'm his Alpha and he's my "Mexican Pistol" cocked and ready to unload as needed.

A friend's dog is called Boof. I like that name for a dog.

He just looked at me one day and said "Hey. Name's 'Ed'...".

My Chihuahua's name is Goliath. He is huge at 15 pounds. No an ounce of fat on him. He's a big fella.

First dog was a GSD and I was only 4-5 so my sister named him Flipper. Go figure. Next was a black and white beagle/sheltie mix and he looked just like the Pokey Little Puppy and was slow so he got named Pokey.

Many years later we saw a yellow lab on the side of the road. Her puppy had been hit by a car and she was trying to get it off the road. No one claimed her so we adopter her and since she was the mother dog her name was Theresa. After she passed we adopted another yellow lab from a rescue. They named her Jackie and she was blind in one eye. I laughed and said "One eyed Jackie?" They were not amused. We got a beagle at a rescue to keep the lab company and our son named him Luke from the cats and dogs movie (I know Lou is the real name, but we didn't like Lou).

My brother in law passed and we inherited his brindle black French Bulldog named Shadow. He is dark like a shadow and is underfoot like a shadow so it is a perfect name.

Noah, from the Bible. As that's the only thing I could relate to in there as a little kid, because it was about a guy building a boat from nothing.

Also, because most all my past dogs names started with a "R", and I have no rational reason why I did that.

First dog, a black Lab, we named him Benson. At the same time, there was a TV sitcom in the early 80's with the same name...

Five years ago my sister in law was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. She asked me to take care of her 10 year old Lab. I had Homer for four years.
Homer was named at 8 weeks old by her adult son. The name really seemed to fit...
I miss Homer...

We got our rescue about 13 years ago, a scrawny 1 year old mix (border collie - Aussie). His name was Tank, and it just didn’t work for us. Rather than confuse the dog I decided he was now Hank. Worked right out of the box. But boy it was a bunch of work to get him to be a good dog. We persevered and (in about 2 years) he became the sweetest companion for us. Here he is at his favorite place, Carmel beach Ca a couple of years ago.

Bosco. My wife named him, claiming every dog I didn’t know I’d call “Bosco”. He’s an 8 year old 30 pound mini labradoodle.

Paisley.
My wife and daughter named him after the country music singer Brad Paisley.
We call him Pai Pai most of the time. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...605172b993.jpg

We picked up Teddy 15 years ago on President's Day, so we named him after a president with the best name for a fluffy dog. TR is also one of my favorite presidents.

We picked up Lucy recently, close to President's Day, so we picked a first lady's name. Most weren't suitable for a dog, but Dolly Madison and Lucy Hayes were good ones; we went with Lucy, although I know nothing of her husband.

When I come home from work and I don't see my wife around I sometimes yell "Looocy, I'm home from da club!".

She named our fist dog Lucy.
I named the next dog...Ricky!!
