I've always been a fan of giving animals people names just for fun. I have a friend with two cats: Carl and Darren, and another friend with a cat, Homer, a dog, Sharon and a budgie named Lewis.

I've never had a newborn pet of any kind, they always came with names, and lame ones at that...

When I have a new pup, I wait until their name comes to me. It will feel right and fit the dog. Sometimes it almost feels like the dog picks his own name. Kinda weird, but that's how I pick 'em.

I have an all white Jack Russell named "JEEP" of course. Just like Popeye.

We had a German shorthaired pointer named "Guido". German dog, very Italian name. Now he have Bodie, after Bodie Miller (my mom is a ski instructor).

Just a tip, a name that ends in a diaphram type letter. With the accent on the last letter. We have one ending in a K (acK), which works well, one that ends in an E (hE) and another that ends in an A (kA). If there name ends in a soft letter (noun or vowel) it gets hard to yell it loud, when you need to and it deosn't carry well on the wind.
A small thing, that may mean the difference between stopping them running in front of a car or avoiding a dog fight.
The hard last letter (accent) of there name, means attention, now. They pick it up fast. It makes there name dual purpose, you can say it soft as a reinforcement or hard for attention.
I had one dog named Buck (worked well) another named Ivan (he was red) which didn't work well. Arak and Chica our dogs now, names work well. If your out working your dogs and your mouth gets dry, whistling doesn't work and spitting out a complicated name gets hard.
When you have a choice between cute and practical choose practical.

I always wait a bit and get to know them. Usually only takes a week or two.

I've always thought a good name for a dog would be "Greg".

How many dogs do you know named Greg?

 

[atx xj]

I had three dogs, one named Buck (what else would you call a 140 pound German Shepard), Dummy (smartest dog that ever owned me) and Mush (a Malamut). Three drunks come out of a bar and yell, "who are you calling a *ucking dummy lush?" It actually came to blows (and a dog attack), try explaining that one to the police. Cops couldn't stop laughing.
If it's a big black dog, maybe Schwartz (Black) or Schwartzer (blacky) if you have the guts to use it.
I'd call him Dick (or Dicker). Which means fat, thick, stout or husky in German. Bound to get some head swiveling looks.

My boy always went by Chaser, Jäger, and Jägerhund. Most common names I called him were 'Nein!' and 'Aus!'.

He was my 160lb Shepherd.

LOL, funny I use the names Nein and Aus all the time too. The whole herd answers to Gawd Damned Dogs. They just got done digging a three foot hole in the middle of my flower patch.

I think yelling HEY DICKER, in a crowd, could get interesting.
