YippeeGirl Posted September 16, 2015 Share Posted September 16, 2015 Not sure if it's been suggested or not, but how about 'Clancy', from the poem 'Clancy of the Overflow'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HazyWal Posted September 16, 2015 Share Posted September 16, 2015 There are so many great suggestions here. It's taking quite a bit if convincing to get my hubbie on board with the Aussie names though ???? I think he likes the more human sounding names (Benson, Stan, Rigby).. He did like Cobber though. May have to compromise.. For what it's worth, Jarrah is my favourite ❤ Gotta love a Stan :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mrs Rusty Bucket Posted September 17, 2015 Share Posted September 17, 2015 (edited) blond australian cricket players Cos they like catch - couldn't find any blond australian tennis players (they like tennis balls) apart from Leyton but google wouldn't play - coughed up lots of blond and female. ARGH. Warnie Shane (covers several of them) Clarkie Brettlee Thommo Most naughty dog name I know is "Fenton" but he's not Australian and you have to be careful when you call your dog something that reflects naughty ie that can be what you get - cos you expect that. Pick a better behaved name (so maybe not Warnie), and get better behaved dog, cos you expect a better behaved dog and are less likely to reward a naughty dog.

Jch80 Posted September 17, 2015 Author Share Posted September 17, 2015 Lol you guys are awesome. This has been my first post on the forum (first of many I'm sure) and I have not been disappointed. Currently in discussions with my hubbie over 'Darwin'.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sunny1shine Posted September 17, 2015 Share Posted September 17, 2015 from a chronic namer: both you and hubby make a list, give lists to eachother and circle names on eachothers list that you like, make new list. pick perfect name for pup then one year down the track realise you call the yellow lab- "lazy boy" or "stink bug" more than you call them their actual name! more name suggestions: Barry- Baz garry - Gaz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mrs Rusty Bucket Posted September 17, 2015 Share Posted September 17, 2015 (edited) Mine gets her own name a fair bit but also Smokey, snowy, evil hound, evil weevil, pumpkin, hairy legs (after a cousin's goldfish - only I remember that gold fish) or just Legs... PS and pucker-bum :) PPS - when you get the puppy home - the name will become apparent. Ie the dog chooses the name. Hence an Aussie Terrier named "Tracey" after a cyclone...

Jch80 Posted September 17, 2015 Author Share Posted September 17, 2015 (edited) If you wait until you bring the puppy home, he will tell you his name then For those of you who talk about the puppy choosing his name, do you mean that the right name will become apparent based on what he looks like and his temperament? I have 2 kids and their names were easier to choose than this puppy's name! Top 3 at this stage are Darwin, Benson and Chester.

I have 2 kids and their names were easier to choose than this puppy's name! Top 3 at this stage are Darwin, Benson and Chester. Hi Jch80 Yes. Once you get the puppy home - some of the names will just not suit him at all. If you get to visit him before you bring him home - that may also help rule some of them out. Not a big fan of "Benson" - might as well call him ciggie cigarette. But it might be ok if you have a completely different story to tell when people ask why you called him that. Better than XXXX (beer) I guess. I like Darwin too - but you do realise that's an old pommie bloke with a really big beard... And don't forget to apply the "yell across the park" test. First few names for my dog failed. Eg Buckethead and Mrs Bucket - rhyme with something rude and possibly offensive if misunderstood. And Hyacinth (Mrs Bucket), you try yelling that across the park. Another name for gold - "nugget"... I know a few Aussies who have that as their nick name. There's also B1 and B2 (yellow bananas) :) What's the yellow wiggle's name?

Gee it's been a while since I've been subjected to watching the wiggles so I have no idea! I really like nugget, thanks. I think I'll make a short list and when I visit the puppy I'll try to whittle it down. I've finally worn my husband down with the constant suggestions so he has said that 'as long as it's not completely ridiculous just do what you've gotta do'. ????????
