Help name my dog!

Post by kamidake »

I'm at my wits end, I'm so bad at naming things. >_< I don't know how many websites I've been to looking for names, I'm getting cross eyed. So I'm going to tap into the infinitely knowledge of the people form this board, hopefully somebody can come up with a witty name for my new pooch. :)

A little about my new doggie, we got him from the shelter this past weekend, he's a 3yr old husky mix. Looks primarily husky with dark gray fur on top and white belly and feet. But this tail like a little bushy, like a fox! Even with some brown fur on the fur tips, but the end of the tail is white. He also got pretty light blue eyes. Personality wise, so far he's really mellow, sleeps most of the time, loves getting belly rubs. His previous name is Bandit, so that's out. Otherwise, looking for something witty, clever, not too common (so no Spot, or Buddy). Thanks a million!

Oooh, I love giving name suggestions! It'd really help if you might have a photo...? xD I'm really the time to think of many more names on sight alone. Gosh, I named my cat before even I took her home (she was a stray).

But here are some random ones...

Sly
Tuck/Tucker
Patches
Rascal

ABCs... (most of these are non-pet like names...but...)

Abel
Bennie
Carl
Doxie
Emery
Fenrir (wolf god in Norse mythology)
Gen
Henry
Isaac
Jin
Kyle
Lyle
Monie
Nash
Ollie
Pollux (Roman mythology)
Quinsy
Ranse
Shane
Tin/Tinney
Undine (typically female, though)
Vince
Warren
Xylo (Shining Force, lol) I always liked this name...
Yulie

Are there any books or movies you like with huskies in them? You could name him after one of the dogs in those.

I'm very random with naming my own pets, so I'm probably no actual help. :D My cats are named Peat and Chalcedony. My turtles are named Minn, T.T. (The Turtle), Darwin, Picasso, Nemo, Julius, Lola, and two that I haven't named yet (they are Balkan pond turtles)

All I can say is to not name him Lucky. Its a running joke in the veterinary field that dogs named Lucky seem to have all the bad things happen to them. Its almost like tempting fate.

Pretty blue eyes with a Husky's appearance makes me think of Blue from Wolf's Rain. Wrong sex but its a fairly sexless name.

How exciting! I wish you tons of fun and crazy happy with your new family member! :love:
Why not go something arctic-y, like Tundra or something? But to be honest, whatever
you decide on will get replaced with a some personality [doggonality?!?] nickname,
it's happened with all my dogs, they know their whippy nicknames as well as [if not better]
than their actual name, and now back to the important stuff, Enjoy!!
:cheers

Congratulations, Kamidake! And thank you for adopting a shelter pet. I work in an animal shelter, actually.

Anyway, for names, I like [one of] Rekka's: Fenrir. Also, there's a really cool wolf boss on the PS3 game Dark Souls named Sif. I realize yours isn't a wolf, but I like wolfy names for huskies and malamutes.

You know, every dog I have ever had I just waited to see a certain personality
trait come out, and I ran from there.

With my old boy that I have had now for 12 years, I ended up naming him Digger,
simply because he liked to dig and bury things. Now mind you, he is a pug, and
that is a trait rarely seen in this particular breed. So, it was only fitting. ^_^

Hopefully something that is absolutely perfect for him will pop in your head.
I think you can't rush these things. You will just know when it is right. ^_^

I like Fluffy! But pretty sure my BF is going to veto that one. Heh.

So far, if I name base on personality, he would be Sleepy, Lazy, or Floppy. Lol!

Most famous animated Huskie I remember would be Balto.
