RedFeather Posted September 18, 2015 Share Posted September 18, 2015 And a cattle dog and call him Anthony...sorry, no purple dogs to call Jeff...although I saw someone who had dyed her small fluffy purple in parts, maybe he could be Jeff...he'd have to be very sleepy though :laugh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mrs Rusty Bucket Posted September 18, 2015 Share Posted September 18, 2015 (edited) what about "Spud" Why does that make me think of John Cornell from the Paul Hogan Show tho I think his character was "Strop" which might be misunderstood (Stroppie). PS https://www.facebook.com/OffTheLeashDailyDogCartoons?fref=ts One for hubby. There's another one that suggests naming the puppies "eat sleep poo" Edited September 18, 2015 by Mrs Rusty Bucket Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Two Best Dogs! Posted September 18, 2015 Share Posted September 18, 2015 You could go with the Aussie tradition of opposite-nicknames and call him Blackie! Also menyin might get a laugh out of any aboriginal fellas. It means trouble/troublesome ;) Jackie jackie was a bushranger Irwin?

cannibalgoldfish Posted September 18, 2015 Share Posted September 18, 2015 Quote what about "Spud" Flansy's middle name is Kennebec, as in the potato, aka Spud :D (So, Kenny would work as well :D ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jch80 Posted September 18, 2015 Author Share Posted September 18, 2015 Another update! Have been doing more searching and thinking. Current potential names are: Nugget, Murray, Darwin, Syd (Sydney), Midas. Now are you starting to sympathise with my husband? ???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I pick up a rescue dog without a name, I normally read them a list of names slowly and watch for a response. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nyssel Posted September 19, 2015 Share Posted September 19, 2015 (edited) Not sure whether some of my suggestions have already been said so sorry in advance if they are Victor/Vick - (after the state Victoria) Mel - (after Melbourne or Mel Gibson) Hugh - (Hugh Jackman :p ) Hewitt - (after tennis player Lleyton Hewitt) Ledger - (Heath Ledger) Baz/Luhrmann - (Aussie director of Romeo + Juliet) Irwin - (Steve Irwin) Bendigo/Benny Burnie/Bourne (Au suburb) I really like Murray and Darwin. I can imagine Darwin being shortened to Winny or something along those lines haha I also really like the suggestion of Boomer/Boom after Boomerang. Suits a big yellow lab :) Edited September 22, 2015 by nyssel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mumsie Posted September 22, 2015 Share Posted September 22, 2015 We named one of our Keppel - after the island (Great Keppel Island), shortened easily to Kep when calling him, awesome mutt of a dog Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sandgrubber Posted September 22, 2015 Share Posted September 22, 2015 Sonny is good, especially if your are in the group that thinks of their dogs as furkids...and the dog has a happy disposition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
