I need a nice name for a dog
 

My parents have just taken delivery of a German Sheperd Dog.

Our family have had many Sheperds over the years, and we have always called them german type/style names. Not nessesarily as in person names, but more "generic" type names.
Leibe-harben (harbon?) was one, for instance...

I want lots of suggestions, please! The dogs now 9 weeks old and is still being called "puppy"!
Please help us find a nice name.

The dog?
Male, Long hair, black & gold.

V E R Y long pedigree, but this dog is purely a family dog, not for breeding.



Thanks all.

:confused: :confused: :confused: :confused:

I'm still a fan of "Deeogee" (pronounced "D-O-G")

I've always thought it was hard to name pets - you have to see their personality and then thing of something and run with it.

Personally I like historical names, our first cat is named Jefferson and the second was named Meriweather - which is fitting because of the Jefferson/Meriweather-Lewis expedition.

Good german names:
Helmut
Mercedes
Wolfgang
Rocky
Otto
Oskar

I've also heard 2 syllable names are good for pets because it is easier for them to understand.

Marvin
Jerry
Malcolm
Terry
Boris
Alan
Allan
Harry

Baron.

I have known 2 dogs named Baron, a Rottweiler who was a magnificent speciman, and my own mutt ( a Samoyed, Black Lab mix) who was named after the first Baron.

It's a cool name, which can be familiarized to Bare, or Bear, of Bear-dog. All of my friends thought it was a cool name too. It's strong, and fits a dog.

I've known German Sheppards named: Tochu, Lady and Achmed.

Ooo...HellMutt...get it? See, he said helmut, so I took it one step...further...and, oh never mind.

I call our dog "Flea Fest", more so than her real name..."Ruby".

Shiloh.....have no clue what it means

Striker.. sounds like a good shephard name..

btw. Congrats on the German Shephard.. I love that breed!

hmmm...angel or roxy are my favorite dog names :)

Achtung would be cool. Especially if it's a german shepherd. Imagine the look on a thieve's face when you started yellling "WARNING!" while your dog bears down on him.

DaVinci is another one I like, mostly because I like the man.

Gunner

With a name like that, he's bound to turn into a hero dog.

Stay .........as in come 're Stay.

Ryot, Bacardi, Target, Cache, Paddy, Almost of the seven dwarf names, Cuervo, Bombay (nice liquor names, eh?), Cider, Harley...there are a million of them :D

Before I met her, my wife called her dog .. . . . ...





Doggo!
0/10 for imagination

Still, it's better than her cat which was called .. .. .. ..


Pusscat :(

i named my dog sonic after driving past the restaurant

How about Endezeichen.....German for terminator

I was going to call my old cat Sonic :)

I think I'm getting a kitten today (if the animal shelter has any) and I'm going to call it Holden (after Holden Caulfield in Catcher in the Rye). I like naming pets after book characters.

Darwin sounds like a good dog name to me. :)
Or Tonto.

I've always been a fan of the following names for male dogs: Rex, Sparky, Max, and then just for random sake names from tv shows, or Joe.
Females usually have been named after flowers, Daisy, Lily, Rosie etc

I wanted deefa (D for DOG)

But what about dishlicker?


hahaha

Hey I like that.... Now for a pronounciation....

But then again... I read that in a lifetime, you will call your pet 30,000 times.


Stey... might be a problem when hes on the other side of the park....

maybe: comebehind! ?

But thanks for all the suggestions, I'll pass them on. Keep em coming!

Bonzo. That's it. Bonzo. If you don't use it, I will.

Kitty. Here kitty, kitty, kitty.... BAR-WHOOF!! :lol:

My grandfather had a series of dogs called Gunner.

While discussing events in the family sometimes we refer to the Gunner timeline like:

"Remember when so and so went into the air force? You know around Gunner III?"

I've had a series of German Shepherds. We followed the biblical theme. Judah, Shiloh, Samson, Delilah and etc.

My uncle named his German Shepherd Shiva.

If I get to name another German Shepherd, I'm going to name him Schultz after the guy on Hogan's Heroes. Possibly Klink.

KOJAK

it sounds like a tough, crime fighting name :)

Phineas. It's a great name for a dog.

Max, its a killer name for a Dog. Thats what our cross german sheperd / doberman was named

Go with George Constanza and name him "Seven."

*quoting a line from "The Jerk"*...
You should call that dog shithead. :D

Have you got a name yet?

Lars, Hans, Razor

I had a friend whose dog was named "Deeogee".

Ballsniffer... Crotchhound...Lil' Fucka These are quality names!

Buddy
Westley
Seem like 2 fitting names for a German Shephard.

Good German names....

Nacht-night
Geist-Ghost

I had a German Shepard named Spike and my girlfriend has one now named Killer. I told her if we ever get one together I'm going to name it Spiller.

Good German names (with their meanings) from BabyNames.com:
Braun, Conrad, Decker, Hank (like H-ah-nk, Ruler of the Home), Kaiser, Sprague, Ulmar (Wolf), Varick (Honorable defender), Vilmos (Steady), or Zelig. Oh I wish I had another puppy prancing around the house to name!!
Good luck!

Blitzkreig (Blitz for short)

Mauser

Call him Fido

How `bout Pickles?

I named my dog Indy. Its not german, but it is people-friendly. Great name!

There are definitely some good names on here, I'm going to have to write them down for when I have a kid or something :)

Gunther is my Grandma's dogs name. He's a shepard that my mom had given to her as a pup from a friend who worked at a pet store. He had a heart palpataion (spelling is awful sorry) and had to have major surgery to fix it. This dog couldn't be sold, so my mom made a few phone calls and placed him with my Grandma and she had the surgery taken care of immediatly. This dog is HUGE for a shepard (well for any of the ones I've ever seen) and is a mass of awesome doggyness. I love his name, and it's fitting for him somehow! :)

I also like Baron a lot too :)
