Naming My New Dog

Sign in to disble this ad
So finally after years of convincing my parents to let me get a dog, theyre finally letting me. Which leaves me with one problem: naming it. I'm not sure what to name it, but i want it to be music related. Like names of bassists, bands, or brands. I have a few names but im still open for suggestions. Go crazy!

When I was young my family raised Dobermans. All of them were named with some sort of Rolling Stones reference. I can't remember all of their documented names, but their common names included Jagger, Ruby, Rambler, Lady, Vamp, and Mac.

No dog No Names.



Im voting Maki. Jaco might be really cool as well. Geddy, sounds a bit weird. Naming your dog Gibson or Fender is just weird...

The name should "come from the dog," depending on his appearance, manners, etc.


On a similar note, have you ever known some pets with stupid names that just don't fit the animal? try to avoid that...

+1. I wasn't even looking for a dog when I got mine, but when I saw him the first thing that popped into my head was the Scorpion's song China White. (He's an American Eskimo dog, solid white.) I was with a friend of mine while she was dog shopping but ended up going back later that evening and picking him up.

And his name is China. Dumb name for a male dog, but he sort of came with it.

+1 no dog no name

i cant believe im taking such a serious tone here, but without knowing the breed of the dog, i cannot give much input, or at least no input that i can really stand behind.

+1 brand names seem odd. i might consider schroeder for some reason, though.

my only dog was a mutt (we think poodle/lab/husky), and his name was generic: max. my next dog (when i own land) will have a sweet name, though.

ive probably mentioned this on tb before, but im allergic to cats and yet i would consider getting one because i have the bestest best name ever for a cat: Meow Zedong, or Chairman Meow. for some reason that amuses me to no end.

Show us a dog and we'll give you a name.

We can't name something that doesn't exist.
