Luke and Abbys Mom Posted August 11, 2007 Report Share Posted August 11, 2007 Still need a name... My husband suggested Brook, and I kind of like it... But still more names would be cool!!! Tara Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HighDesertSpice Posted August 13, 2007 Report Share Posted August 13, 2007 'Just a thought....i name my dogs after cities in regions I particularly like.......For example, my first introduction to bc's and herding was in a town called Hailey, hence....I don't claim credit for this idea though....it was a gift from someone at the HS on the day I was about to walk out with my new bud. 'Couldn't think of the right name and a volunteer offered this up as a suggestion. I really like the idea though. Have a local map on hand....?

WyoBC Posted August 13, 2007 Report Share Posted August 13, 2007 I like the map idea. I never thought of that. I try to think of names from tv shows or movies that I like. But certin names just pop out to me sometimes too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brandon M Posted August 14, 2007 Report Share Posted August 14, 2007 I like naming a dog based on his/her personality. My dog has a lot of energy and is really athletic. Thats why I named my dog Lance, after Lance Armstrong. But if he were a girl I would have named him Frenzy, lol. For some reason Frenzy sounds like a female name.

2 Devils Posted August 14, 2007 Report Share Posted August 14, 2007 Tempe was named after Temperance Brennan from the series. Aspen was named just because Riot because he was so darn funny from the beginning Foster is an acd and was named after the beer So needless to say we come up with names from different places. I know some who names all dogs after types of beer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sweet_ceana Posted August 14, 2007 Report Share Posted August 14, 2007 you mean tempe and devils has nothing to do with ASU? I thought that was it for sure! Oh yes back to topic, we gave Ceana a Gaelic name... hopefully in a year or so I will have a fluffy red boy name shameus lol! I don't think shameus is Gaelic... I just want a silly boy to go with that name Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2 Devils Posted August 14, 2007 Report Share Posted August 14, 2007 Sorry to tell you that no Tempe and Devils has nothing to do with ASU. 2Devils actually originated when I had the acd and another bc/mix because they were devil dogs. They could get into trouble faster then anything... until the poodle came into the house. He is the most devious dog. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BC-Liz Posted August 14, 2007 Report Share Posted August 14, 2007 I heard once that a name that has atleast two syllables is easier for a dog to learn. Something that causes inflection in your voice. Don't know if this really helps but I used it in naming my dogs. My other criteria is I like to name my dogs names that I like but that I would never bestow on a human (a name that would be made fun of). Good luck! Check out Babynames.com for some ideas.

Luke and Abbys Mom Posted August 15, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 15, 2007 Lol I love all your idea's on names! It is neat how everyone goes about naming their pets. I have decided to call her Bree, it means Force and Streangth in Irish, she sure is a little spit fire puppy. One of my friends also have a BC pup who is 3 weeks older then her and is WAY bigger but she plays way to rough for him so for now until she mellows Luke is her play buddy!
