german_shep_fan Posted February 7, 2012 Share Posted February 7, 2012 Fly lol But then again i do adore Babe :D I will have a think, what sort of names do you like? old fashioned ect? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rilla-My-Rilla Posted February 7, 2012 Author Share Posted February 7, 2012 babe was one of my favs when i was little, and Fly was so nice, lol :D Not sure about whether I like old fashioned or not....my list is a little mixed :) Also like Meg and Nutmeg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vickie Posted February 7, 2012 Share Posted February 7, 2012 (edited) I always try to pick a name already in their pedigree :) I figure if an ancestor was a good enough sheepdog to be bred from, then any of the names are a good omen :) Otherwise, I like this list, with traditional names http://www.palado.de...db/dognames.htm Edited February 7, 2012 by Vickie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pretty Miss Emma Posted February 7, 2012 Share Posted February 7, 2012 Need more help!!! Is there a theme or anything? I just got a litter of foster kittens and I am using the theme of "white" to figure out names for them - at least it narrows the field!!! So any ideas on theme - attributes? Scottish? Black and white? etc etc!! Does she have a registered name that we can tweak to get a name? Kenzie's registered name is "trick or treat" and she was very nearly called Trixie. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rilla-My-Rilla Posted February 7, 2012 Author Share Posted February 7, 2012 She's going to be called 'Hearts Desire' and will most probably be black and white (lol, she isn't even born yet :laugh:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I chose my new girl's name for its meaning lol Plus we have a tradition of naming dogs with names starting with 'T' so that narrows my choices down alot! :laugh: Very sorry OP but i have always wanted to ask do the breeders of 'Fly' and/or 'Rex' have a website link on DOL? They were both such beautiful dogs :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Puppybella Posted February 7, 2012 Share Posted February 7, 2012 I vote for Fly! Quirky but lovely, and a nice reference to Babe! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Starkehre Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 I would call her Heart. Love it!! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rilla-My-Rilla Posted February 8, 2012 Author Share Posted February 8, 2012 Scout is cute. Heart is nice too, except we already have to dogs starting with 'h', and I think three h's would confuse them even more, lol :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grizabella Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 I've always liked the name 'Fly' for a Border Collie (I always loved her in Babe!), I think 'Shadow' is nice as well. I also like 'Ivy' and 'Bramble' as potential BC names. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rilla-My-Rilla Posted February 8, 2012 Author Share Posted February 8, 2012 'Bramble', lol. It's cute, sounds like the dog would have to have a bit of a quirky personality...might add it to my list. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

benshiva Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 There are so many Border Collies called Fly that I would NEVER consider using it. But then again, I have some strange names. Shiva, Cheers, Trouble, Teek just to name a few LOL. I even had a gorgeous girl called Pink xxx If I had one called Hearts Desire (gorgeous name by the way) I'd go with something like Desi, or Heart.

I had a 'Trouble' in a litter too :D New owners of course renamed her and asked before they bought her why i had named her trouble :laugh: When i got an update from them a few wks later they told me they knew now why i had called her Trouble :laugh: Don't worry about strange names, i called another litter pup 'Captain Snooze' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
