Lot's of people know Molly the crazy dog. She's my fave dog in the world. But there was this dog out on the road and we picked it up and took it to the vet and got its shots and now we have another dog. It's really cute and seems happy all the time.

Problem is, we don't have a name for it. I need suggestions. It's a girl-dog.

PICS!

Mulţumesc, lol.

I like the name Chewbacca then call the dog "Chewie." But my parents are like, "We don't wanna name it chewie!" and I'm like "I do!" and so we can't agree.

Name it Cerberus. Or Roflcopter. Those are my top two picks... or Chewbacca... Or you could go to one of those baby name sites and browse until you find a name that catches your eye.

EDIT:
I hadn't seen your post when I suggested Chewbacca, I think something about that dog says "wookiee"

I considered "wookie" and "chewbacca" but my parents dont like it...

I think Germanic names are great, but my parents like things like "Lucky"

I should start a campaign against over-used pet names. I've literally known at least five dogs named "Lucky," and at least three pets named "Chance" or something similar. You should name it Snark... or G.I. Joe.

EDIT:
Or Ninja. Ninjas wear black and the dog is black.

I'll name it Lep, or Gwil.

I don't know what name we will go with, but if one of you suggests a really good one I'll puch for it

I think Chewie is the best so far.

I love those kind of dogs. The only problem is their coat gets very thin.

Norse names are always badass.

Valkyrie (a group, but could work as a name easily. Or "Val")
Freya (Goddess of fertility and love ... who was also a bouncer for Odin) It can also be spelt Freyja, I believe
Beyla
Eisa

You can also go with apocalyptic names like "Ragnarok" or "Gotterdammerung".

Also, Cerean, is another Wookie, just not in the movies. I can't think of other wookie names, though. And it isn't a good name.
Blame it on Microsoft, God does.

You should tack "Evil Countess" on the front of whatever name you choose and then when someone calls her by just the name you can tell them sternly, "you shall address Her Ladyship as 'Evil Countess <name>'!"

... that's what I would do anyway...

On an unrelated note, I looked at the most popular names from 2005 (presumably in the US), some of the top male names:
1 - Aidan
2 - Caden
5 - Brayden
6 - Hayden
8 - Jaden

I'm gonna go cry now :'(

maybe it already has a name that it likes. i got my dog from a rescue shelter about 8 years ago, and he was quite old even then. the shelter had no info on the dog, so i sat for a night with him, going over various names and consonant/vowel variations, looking for some sort of reaction from him. we eventually settled on gus.

ZING! on Lep...

Lots of old Norse Mythology names. I like them, but my parents are not into much foriegn stuff or ancient stuff for that matter. Or at least not enough to wanna name a dog after it. They like names like "Molly" and "Susie" and other really american-people sounding names. They didn't wanna name Molly "Berserker" even though it REALLY fits her personality.

I'll tell you Molly's full name if you won't laugh. They named her "The Unfenceable Molly Brown" :cry: because she always got out of fences we put her in and she was brown. It's a play off "The unsinkable molly brown" who survived teh titanic and another such shipwreck.

Tracer, she's not a bitch coz she's spayed. :razz:

Whenever I hear about naming dogs, I can't help but think about this one story I heard about people whose dogs were so misbehaved the dogs thought their names were actually "bad dog!" since their owners said that all the time.
