Introducing Jacob

[snowbunny]

“Os” (pronounced “Oz”) is Catalan for bear. Little Ozzie Bear!

 

[snowbunny]

Also, the twins’ full names are Shadow Bear and Willow Bear. Among other names!

 

[HAH]

He tried to eat my hat today, does that count?.

I feel such an idiot about the name thing. I was convinced something would stick when we got him. Can i just call him puppy? That's working out so far

Don’t feel an idiot. It’s so tricky, and easy to overthink a name, we had real strictures when we got Kipper. I think narrowing it down to Bear and Bear-like names is the way to go - seems to suit him, and you’ve got a few options popping up here already Os, Ozzie, Balu, Ben, Paddy/Paddington - it’ll fit in the next few days.

 

[Candy]

Call him puppy for now. He'll be fine, I'm sure, and the right name will come. It's such early days. It'll all sort itself out, don't worry. xxx

Oh my goodness, the palpitations and agitations I've put myself in over naming dogs!! I feel your pain! I still want to change Carbon's name and I've had him for two years.

All I can say is don't stress about it. Call him puppy or fuzzy Ozzie for now, he doesn't care. Brogan was "Piglet" for his first month and he wasn't scarred for life.

Once you pick a name that suits him and that you and your OH like, you'll know.

 

[Emily_Babbelhund]

Actually Brogan was "Stephan" at his foster home, "Piglet" for his first month with me and then "Brogan" after that. Poor boy!

Then we have @Aitch 's Toby. He was something before Toby, then he was Toby, then he was Alf, then he was Che and now he's Toby again.

 

[snowbunny]

Ginny was Coixeta, then Conchita, who knows what before, and now answers to “Ginny”,”Juniper”, “Juniper Berry”, “Oi, bat ears!”, or just “Ears”

 

[Candy]

In France Winnie the Pooh is Winnie Orso!
If that's any help.
Which I doubt, come to think of it. Oh well!

 

[Candy]

Joy answers to 'Hey, sweetheart'! That's all good though!

 

[Emily_Babbelhund]

“Oi, bat ears!”,

 

[Emily_Babbelhund]

Watch out, Carbon, this thread is giving me ideas...

 

[Jen]

What about Ted/Teddy?

 

[VanillaBean]

Beautiful little pup. Look very settled and sure they will be best of friends...

 

[Cath]

I know when we got Robbie (our old dog) I went through loads of names and couldn't make my mind up. My OH said why not Robbie, I just loved it, but I would never of thought of it myself. You know you call your dogs lots of names, Fred, Freddie, Lurpak, Handsome and Annie, Sweetheart, Trouble
so just leave it a while and I am sure you will find a name that suits.

 

[Lab_adore]

I showed Steve your videos and he said two things:
1. "Monty doesn't look impressed"
2. (when I mentioned he doesn't have a name yet) "He looks like a Buzz"

I think he looks like a little fuzzy bear so I'm with the bear thread

Maxx gets:
Maxximus
Max pain in the @rse
You little sh!t (e.g. "Come back here with that you little sh!t")

MLF is never happier when giving input on names so take your time, @Natalie

 

[Atemas]

The name will come - don’t worry. Sky came to us at 5 months - her first owners called her Paige. We weren’t keen on that so for a week she was called no name. I find myself calling Red ‘Pippit’ a lot these days - where the heck that came from, I really don’t know but she responds to it

Truer words...

 

[Selina27]

Lurpak

? Any explanation?

 

[Selina27]

He's a lovely puppy @Natalie whatever you call him. He'll be fine I'm sure, I'm liking the Bear theme.
