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. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]()

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. |

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. |

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.

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!

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.

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! |

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 ![]()
