[dave289]

My brother is getting a female blue staffy and was wondering what he should call it, so I told him I,ll post a thread and see If that helps him out , any ideas would be much appreciated, thanks dave.

missy

[kenz]

Elizabeth...

[Iggypoppin']

sophie

[Geez Louise]

Mondeo. Got a nice ring to it

[Trek]

Lassie
Carrie
Butch
Shelly
Annie

These all seem a bit clichè though (bar one).

I like to pick names which stand out.

Some names I have used;

Maverick (not after Top gun, but because he was the only one in a litter that came out to greet me)
Ambrose (after Marcos of course)
Memphis (after Gone in 60 seconds)
Patches (cause that was the colour she was)
Tuppence (cause she is only a tuppence the size of a normal dog!)
Shannon (after the Shannon River in Ireland)
Tyson (my old man's cat, cause he weighs 8.1KG, and struts when he walks. Vet has given him a clean bill of health)

Locations are a good source of unusual names, as are movie characters, and celebrities. Being a Ford man, Frosty, Moffat, Gibson and Roush are all on my cards for future use.

good luck with it and let us know what wins in the end.

Cheers

Ahh i was going to name my gsd that. but ended up getting a female instead of a mongrel

[vik351]

This one started out as Jezebel...But it's too long,prolly woulda ended up as Jezz...Jezza...



But after having her for a couple of weeks,her name got changed to Molly,dont think you can name a dog in first day,need to get a feel of their personality...




Porky ( Now in the doggy park in the sky) is the mutt on the pewter

He got called Porky...

vik...As in Porky the pig...

[BlueKoop]

Harley, Shelby, Brembo, Clevo, Whinny, Holley, ..... car/bike names always work

[Cam]

A mate called his "Deefa"

Like "D for dog..."

I let my children name our newest dog two weeks ago, after browsing a heap of names on the net i ended looking at movie characters, we got up to the X-Men, i liked Rouge but the kids wanted Storm so it was settled.

Short and sweet.

There is nothing more embarrassing than being in the park and calling at the top of your voice "BUBBLES".

That is what happens when an 8 year old girl gets to name the dog.
(Or MJ and a monkey)

That reminds me, years ago we had a delivery of special order timber to the job site, the truck driver was,......how can i put it, over the top in an effeminate way.
Any way he has this Chow Chow dog in the truck, it wanders off for a look around, said driver sees the dog and runs after it (like a girl) crying out " JOYSTICK, OH JOYSTICK....COME HERE JOYSTICK".

The blokes on site were all in tears......

[Falc'man]

My suggestion would be something unique and simple, like Lydiakalanirowealeekundemondisha.

This way she won't get mixed up with any other dogs name's... tex rex sex etc etc.

well i have a 8 month old female pure breed rotie and her name is princess

[XR8GRL]

I've always liked Rosie for a female dog.

That's what I'll call my female staffy when I get her.

[jaydee]

You gotta come up with a name that relates to the dog, for example a friend got his dog on Anzac day and called it Digger. I had a bluey and called it Bogart, but it got Bogey and Boges.
Or let the kids name it, like mine did with our latest dog, really original, Suzy.

[smacxr8]

We named our female Alaskan Malamute 'Tala' which is Native American for 'wolf'. So try to think of something that really does relate to your dog.
