What is this little boy's name? Throw me a bone…..

[Mantis]

We have a tut in our basenji group already, so I can't use that one….

We did think about the Alpha name which is cute and has nice meaning, but I think Caesar will be in charge of the two...

You never know with basenji puppies...so scrappy....

I have been trying to forget that teething stage around 6months that makes you pull your hair out. :P

I keep remembering Caesar as a little piglet sitting on my feet while I washed dishes and his need to be on top of me at all times....I can handle that again...

So, this means I am on mommy duty for a solid 7 months.....sleeping with my third eye open....so funny....like a pandora's box...

I know basenji puppies are a nightmare, but so damn cute....LOL....

[JoeyQ]

If you think he is going to be stocky and bold, how about Titan or Zeus?

[JoeyQ]

We almost called Joey, Akele (akeylee), after an African distance runner. It would have been Kele (keylee) for short. I have no idea how we got to Joey…a far cry from Akele!!!
This little button is soooooooooo cute! I like the brindle! What about Daniel?

[jys1011]

I like Hero :D :D

[WBL]

**What a cute face!

I like the names
Demsey
Finlay or Finley (pronounced same different spelling)
Wiley
Riley
Tierney (means Lord)
Oakley

Something you could do is go to www.babynames.com and do an advanced search to narrow down something you're looking for like, nationality, origin, starts with, ends with etc**

Mowgli–Pronounced MOE-glee (from the Jungle Book) That's what I named my first basenji, and it is officially retired from my names book.

Kiowa--my favorite character from the novel "The Things they Carried". It's a Native American name.

Kola--a stimulant found in Africa like strong coffee taken by tribes in religious ceremonies. It's where the "cola" comes from in Coca Cola. I always thought it would be very fitting of a basenji...but then again, so would "crackhead".

Okonkwo--Tribal Chief in African Novel "Things Fall Apart".

oh vegas, mowgli is such a good idea! when i was a kid i wanted a black something and name him bagera, like the panther in jungle book!

[abby_basenji]

I like Zor, Lokey is actually Loki and it is the god of mischief(not B's, they're innocent)in norse mithology but either way I like the name. So glad to hear you decide to get another B to keep Caesar company. Good luck with the new baby.

McDreamy! Sorry, have to throw my favorite Gray's Anatomy star's nickname in! :)

[Mantis]

HA!, These are great guys!!

[jys1011]

OOH how cute Mowgli is so cute!! He's that big bear from the Jungle Book but as sweet as can be…very submissive so as not to offend Ceasar LOL :D

[markusa59mn]

We were checking in on the names and… Was that a cat?;) What's up pussycat! Still like Bongo.

Koa[koh' (w)ah]
In Hawaiian means
Brave, Bold, Fearless
Koa (Name of a tree that only grows in hawaii. The color and pattern of the tree looks like that of a brindle dog);

[Mantis]

ooooh, here is one I like….

Romeo

Is that too weird? Is that like naming my dog snookums? :p

[Basenji_Boy]

@Mantis:

ooooh, here is one I like….

Romeo

Is that too weird? Is that like naming my dog snookums? :p

Caesar + Romeo….nah, too much like Caesar Romero:D

[jys1011]

How Brutus!!…like the ancient Romans... Ceasar and Brutus! It sounds very Imperial :D :D

[markusa59mn]

Romeo makes me think of a local play pal of Luxor's called "Lover Boy", a bulldog with a humping problem, he he. I think Brutus and Ceasar would not be found hanging out in real life, different classes. Julius, or Jules? Cairo, or Chai? Omar…

[Basenji_Boy]

@jys1011:

How Brutus!!…like the ancient Romans... Ceasar and Brutus! It sounds very Imperial :D :D

Marcus…..continuing on the Roman theme.

[jys1011]

That's precisely the point. Ceasar will be the alpha dog & Brutus will be a different class in the echelons of dog society :D :D :D

[markusa59mn]

Brutus murdered Ceasar though. It's a harsh name, but the irony is there. The new pup may be more of a contender for top dog than we know.
