Title: Name my dog Post by: Nerf on February 15, 2010, 07:14:34 PM The girlfriend and I are getting a puppy here in a few weeks, and we need a name for it. The problem is of course we both spend hours sitting at an MMO char creation screens trying to think one up, so we need some help on this one.
Unfortunately, I can't name it Nerf :( Title: Re: Name my dog Post by: angry.bob on February 15, 2010, 07:15:19 PM Barkspawn?
Title: Re: Name my dog Post by: Azaroth on February 15, 2010, 07:16:16 PM Need to see it first. I mean.. at least tell us the breed.
Title: Re: Name my dog Post by: Rasix on February 15, 2010, 07:18:23 PM Fippy.
Title: Re: Name my dog Post by: MahrinSkel on February 15, 2010, 07:24:05 PM Fippy. Seconded. In fact, I move we close the nominations.--Dave Title: Re: Name my dog Post by: Nerf on February 15, 2010, 07:26:26 PM It's a blue merle miniature australian shepherd with 2 blue eyes, should be around 15lbs fully grown. We may end up with a black tri instead, it depends on if this one is breedable.

Seconded. In fact, I move we close the nominations.--Dave Yup, you must name the dog Fippy now...sorry. Hey, it could be worse. Someone in my family named their dog "Kitty." I have no fucking idea where they came up with that one. Title: Re: Name my dog Post by: Trippy on February 15, 2010, 07:31:05 PM Yes Fippy Barkpaw has a nice ring to it (can't use Darkpaw cause his paws aren't, uh, dark). He's even the same color as Fippy (not including the white). :awesome_for_real:
Title: Re: Name my dog Post by: Nerf on February 15, 2010, 07:36:10 PM She never played everquest, and I lasted about a week, so EQ-related names are out.

Title: Re: Name my dog Post by: Arnold on February 15, 2010, 08:06:41 PM Australian Shepherd?
Spazzo Title: Re: Name my dog Post by: Murgos on February 15, 2010, 08:07:26 PM Shitmaster 5000. :awesome_for_real:
How about, "GODDAMNITDON'TPISSONTHECARPET!"? You could name it 'Bark Country' but then Schild would come over to your house and take "Licked Outta Goonswarm"? PrideOfUSA :uhrr: Though, I think you should just name it ALLCAPS. Title: Re: Name my dog Post by: schild on February 15, 2010, 08:08:38 PM I'd let him name it Bark Country.
Spacefag would be better though. Title: Re: Name my dog Post by: Viin on February 15, 2010, 08:13:42 PM Oscar
Edit: Wait, is it a girl? Title: Re: Name my dog Post by: Signe on February 15, 2010, 08:14:24 PM Yes Fippy Barkpaw has a nice ring to it (can't use Darkpaw cause his paws aren't, uh, dark). He's even the same color as Fippy (not including the white). :awesome_for_real: Don't be silly. I have a black cat named Magenta. You're named Trippy and I bet you're not ever on acid. Look at Nerf's name. Never mind. That one fits, actually. I like Fippy, too, although I wouldn't bother with a surname. Bent and Spacefag are also quite nice. If you're going to show it, it's probably better for all those to be affectionate nicknames. Of course since it's Australian, you could get away with giving it a name like Boing Boing or Humpybong. Title: Re: Name my dog Post by: rattran on February 15, 2010, 08:17:31 PM Or Bruce.
Title: Re: Name my dog Post by: Signe on February 15, 2010, 08:19:49 PM Or even Todd. :ye_gods:

Title: Re: Name my dog Post by: Engels on February 15, 2010, 08:42:11 PM The girlfriend and I are getting a puppy here in a few weeks, and we need a name for it. The problem is of course we both spend hours sitting at an MMO Expansion Pack? Title: Re: Name my dog Post by: Nerf on February 15, 2010, 08:45:11 PM People names for dogs just seem weird to me, with the exception of Einstein, but since he's not a corgi or a corgi mix, that would just feel wrong.

Derp. Title: Re: Name my dog Post by: Tale on February 16, 2010, 01:58:16 AM The dog is clearly communicating with a prop that his name is Matt and getting very frustrated that humans are too stupid to understand. Re-examine the photos with this in mind.

Title: Re: Name my dog Post by: ShenMolo on February 16, 2010, 05:35:49 AM 15 lbs? My cat weighs 15 lbs!
I always liked using the names of famous companions/helpers/sidekicks from literature. I had a dog named Starbuck when I was in college. Some other good ones: Littlejohn, Samwise, Friday, Watson, Patroclos Here's a good list of dog names from literature: http://www.lowchensaustralia.com/names/dognames.htm (http://www.lowchensaustralia.com/names/dognames.htm) Fenris is cool Title: Re: Name my dog Post by: slog on February 16, 2010, 06:10:22 AM Precast

If I ever am so lucky to have a little puppy, that's what it'll be named. Title: Re: Name my dog Post by: IainC on February 16, 2010, 06:59:08 AM Cujo is a nice name.
Title: Re: Name my dog Post by: NowhereMan on February 16, 2010, 06:59:16 AM Krypto. Then buy him a little red cape to wear.
More seriously I really like Fippy, even if I didn't recognise where I knew the name from till someone mentioned EQ. I think it's a cool name for a pet. Title: Re: Name my dog Post by: Bunk on February 16, 2010, 07:20:49 AM Whargarble
Title: Re: Name my dog Post by: bhodi on February 16, 2010, 07:53:17 AM Wharrgarble has another R. It's the most important letter.
Title: Re: Name my dog Post by: Azaroth on February 16, 2010, 08:04:25 AM What a terrible list of suggestions.
The dog's name is Bodie. Title: Re: Name my dog Post by: tazelbain on February 16, 2010, 08:06:26 AM Title: Re: Name my dog Post by: NowhereMan on February 16, 2010, 08:07:34 AM Call him Professor Farnsworth or Doc. Brown. If he hasn't got a pedigree at least you can show everyone he's highly educated.

Made calling for it easier. Title: Re: Name my dog Post by: Xurtan on February 19, 2010, 12:53:13 AM I like Fippy. I've always wanted to name a pet Schrödinger, but its really more of a cat name. What about Argos?
Title: Re: Name my dog Post by: ghost on February 19, 2010, 07:13:32 AM What about Scratch Fury: Destroyer of Worlds?

Title: Re: Name my dog Post by: bhodi on February 20, 2010, 06:12:10 AM And also a public admission of being a Scott Kurtz fan. :facepalm: I've got nothing against him, he's a reasonably funny guy. I used to (and still do, sometimes) read his comic. It's a pretty good way to waste 45 seconds. What of it? Title: Re: Name my dog Post by: NowhereMan on February 20, 2010, 11:48:34 AM I can enjoy PvP once in a blue moon when he decides to do a comic based on computer games rather than a super-intelligent cat trying to kill Santa Claus.
Title: Re: Name my dog Post by: Trippy on February 20, 2010, 06:49:55 PM No more PvP discussion in this thread please.
Title: Re: Name my dog Post by: Nerf on February 22, 2010, 10:18:19 AM So I really want to call him Skwisgaar Skwigelf, but the girlfriend thinks the name is too hard to say. Skwizzie is an awesome name for a blue eyed little hyper furball.
Toki is out because it sounds like a name a couple of potheads would call their dog. Title: Re: Name my dog Post by: Abagadro on February 22, 2010, 10:28:00 AM Definitely go with Pickles.

Title: Re: Name my dog Post by: ghost on February 23, 2010, 11:01:02 AM On a more serious note, I usually like to give pets "people names", like Larry or Ted. There was a Shih Tzu named Barry at the vet the other day. I about shit myself.
Title: Re: Name my dog Post by: Morat20 on February 23, 2010, 11:14:10 AM Well, it...looks like a rabbit. So, Rabbit? Lapin?
I've been trying to convince the wife to let me name our next dog Gozar. Especially if it's a labrador. Or Slor, if it's one of those big drooly dogs. But Gozar is awesome. I'd suggest Buzz Killington, but that's really more of a cat's name. Title: Re: Name my dog Post by: tazelbain on February 23, 2010, 11:32:00 AM Speedy
