Help w/ Riley's registered name


  • We've had Riley 3 weeks and haven't had a moment to come up with his registered name. I was hoping I could get some help from people on the forum. It will begin "Sulou's" for his breeder and I would love suggestions for a play on words incorporating "tri". I think that "Riley" means courageous, so that could go in there. His call name doesn't have to be in there very obviously or at all. But I like the idea of using the meaning. Not that anyone would catch that, but I like it anyway. I don't think his registered name will be seen very many places unless he grows up to LOVE chasing the bunny like his big sis. But I wanted to try to do something fun and clever with it. Thoughts?


  • Tri-Rageous (as a play on courageous)


  • Solou's Tri'ing Courage


  • I kind of lean towards the obvious…Solou's Life of Riley :D


  • I definitely had to Wikipedia that last one, haha. Thanks for all your help ladies! Much appreciated!


  • Showing your age (YOUNG!) Life of Riley is an expression meaning "living the good life" not necessarily rich, but content.

  • I wanted to let you all know what I decided on. It's "Sulou's Tri the Good Life". It took quite the progression to get there. It had to go through "life of riley" to get the "good life" part. It was actually Susan's suggestion and was something I had thought about. And I was able to get "Tri" in there after all. It's kind of appropriate, we're always joking about what a hard life the dogs have, given that they seem to have sleep-a-thons oh, you know, every day!! But I'm pleased with it and couldn't have gotten there without your suggestions so thank you!

    We tried Jackpot on Merrick & he didn't like it. Then I did a little tast test with Evo & Fromm & he seemed to like the Fromm the best. Hope that this ia good food for him! Anyone have any bad experiences with Fromm?
