Rilla-My-Rilla Posted February 8, 2012 Author Share Posted February 8, 2012 Don't worry about strange names, i called another litter pup 'Captain Snooze' I'm guessing Captain Snooze was sleepy? :laugh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dancinbcs Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 Think about what activities you will be doing and avoid names that sound like commands. Eg. in obedience you use words like heel, sit, stand, stay and in sheep trialling you use stop a lot so you wouldn't call a sheep dog "Spot". I suggest you wait until you see the puppy. Sometimes you pick a name and it just doesn't suit. I chose Gina in advance for my first bitch, after her grandmother. It didn't suit her. Her registered name was Wildfire so I tried Cinders but it ended up being Cindy. When I kept a daughter from her, the daughter became my Gina. Fly is a very common Border name so not one I would choose. I prefer the unusual when I can think of something. My last wonderful girl was Dharma, which means perfect behaviour or the divine rule and it suited her perfectly. I also like non-human names if I can think of something appropriate.

german_shep_fan Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 Don't worry about strange names, i called another litter pup 'Captain Snooze' I'm guessing Captain Snooze was sleepy? :laugh: Yes :laugh: She was my silver and black sweetheart Her new owners called her Phoenix :D She was the last born and almost died at birth so i always kept a special eye on her :) When she wasn't leading the way to naughty adventures in the backyard she was snoozing off her little head Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Clover Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 I am no help with nice Border Collie names, mine are Elvis, Tinny (Was Tin Tin) and Dawes (Was Dora) . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dasha Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 I think a name will come to you. Doesn't have to be named as soon as it arrives home. Just get to know it and name will come. I like a whole range of names. I like short names. I like names that are feminine for girls (usually) or people names, I like unusual names an traditional names. But when it comes time to name one, the criteria can change I have Dash Cricket Abby Tiesha Pip Blondie Jock Lass Have had Jess Sam Bess Pixie Penny Chinook - Chooka Zeke So there is really no theme with them at all. Just what comes to mind Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lando's Mum Posted February 9, 2012 Share Posted February 9, 2012 My vote is for Desi!! That's a great name and goes with here breeder name. we have a Star wars theme, so we have Jedi(Jed) and Lando, our next one will probably be Wicket or Han. Having a theme defiantly helps, there are endless options out there. I'm sure you'll know as soon as you see her. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rilla-My-Rilla Posted February 9, 2012 Author Share Posted February 9, 2012 Thanks for your replies everyone :) There certainly are some interesting names... I'm sure I'll probably name her something not even on my list when I pick her up :laugh: although pippa is still my fav :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grizabella Posted February 9, 2012 Share Posted February 9, 2012 Pippa is nice, and can be 'Pip' for short. :) I really like that one. Probably when she arrives you'll be able to easily pick one that just suits her. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rilla-My-Rilla Posted February 9, 2012 Author Share Posted February 9, 2012 Just thought of two more names....they probably belong on the 'unusual' list - Flick Flit :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benshiva Posted February 9, 2012 Share Posted February 9, 2012 I know of a lot of BC's called Flick but not Flit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rilla-My-Rilla Posted February 9, 2012 Author Share Posted February 9, 2012 My sister suggested Flit a while ago, but I had forgotten it until now :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
