So, I got a surprise gift today. A puppy. I need to give him a name, but I can't think of any. So I'm gonna ask for some suggestions and I'll see if I can figure one out. Or else my mom is gonna name him Orton.  |

Woofy. My grandfather had a dog named woofy... everyone who ever knew it said it was the smartest dog they ever knew. Not just teach it tricks hollywood kind smart just naturally smart. I wish I knew it more before it got sick and had to be put down.

When I get a dog I am going it Apollo. The subsequent names will obviously be Clubber, Drago, Tommy and Mason

Got this off the internets:
* Keep it simple. Dogs grasp brief orders, so short and sweet says it best. Names with just a couple of syllables work well.
* Don't confuse the issue. Your puppy's name shouldn't sound similar to any commands. "Fetch, Fletch!" and "Stay, Ray" will only befuddle your pup.
* Publicity hound. Since you'll be calling your dog's name in public, loudly and frequently, make sure it's not a name you'll be mortified to yell. "Butthead" may be funny in the privacy of your frat house, but it won't sound great at the dog park.
* Consider the kids. You're right; "Fluffy" doesn't illustrate the noble nature of your Champion Irish Wolfhound, but kids appreciate simplicity, too. Register the fancy schmancy name with the AKC.
* Don't name the pooch after a family member. Naming your baby after Uncle Norbert will keep you in the will, but naming your pup after him may not. Ask first before bestowing such an "honor" on a friend or relative.
* Old dog, new home? Try and keep the name your adopted dog already owns. If you must change it, stick with similar sounds. "Barney" becomes a terrific "Farley" with ease.
* Try it out. When you find a name you like, give it a test run for a day or two. If it feels natural, it's a keeper! Otherwise, move on to the next name on your list.
