Looking for a cool, fun name …

    I like african Djugu.
    And french names Claude, Pierre, Auguste etc. (simply like impressionists :D ).

    I had a cat named Francois. He had a little dark spot on his chin like hair on a Frenchman's chin. He was so good with the 2 Basenjis I had.

    Yeah, that little spot looks like beard, great :D.

    Swedish would work if only OI could get my hubby and friends to pronounce them right, and it is hard, I undertsand as swedish is a hard sounding language as supposed to soft.
    my swedish names of choice are..Ludde, Bo, Nisse, Axel or Noak..


  • I like when the call name is a 'take off' on the registered name, so I would go with either Eddie (for Edgar), or Pogo (for Poe)

    I'm sort of a dork like that


  • Maybe if we saw a pic of the dog it might help. I know you don't have him yet but do you have any pics that they sent you?



  • How exciting Petra!! Congrats! I really like the name Floyd! :D
    He's a lovely boy :)

  • Houston

    lvoss, that is the picture I have as well. Isn't he cute?
    Floyd is one of my favorites, my hubby has a friend named Floyd though, so of course he is thinking about that…

    I do like the playoff on the registered name as well, but none of the ones are cute enough..yet... We thought Edgar but nickname him Gar...but it means so manly it is girly (?) weird..


  • I like Boyd as well. Sounds like Floyd x Bolt :D

    IMO he doesn't look like a Floyd. Sorry Hubby. Could be an Edgar (Eddie) though. Otis and Eddie. See you have to put the 2 names together because there's going to be posts in the future like "OK, Otis and Eddie got into the pantry and ate a loaf of bread and a box of crackers". :D

    Otis and Eddie. See you have to put the 2 names together because there's going to be posts in the future like "OK, Otis and Eddie got into the pantry and ate a loaf of bread and a box of crackers".

    You and I think so much alike..I have been walking around "yelling" Otis and–- to see which one sounds the best together..Otis has been outside so he is not walking around thinking he did something wrong ;)

    We were told by some older friends when we were looking for a name to give our daughter 9+ years ago, to "yell" it out the door three times, that way you know what it sounds like..when you are looking for her to come in after a day out playing..so I am using that same "old wifes tale" antic on finding a suiting name for Edgar..


  • Cant help with a Name Petra, having enough trouble thinking of names for our new pup, have to say my husband is rubbish at picking names :D
    Lucky you getting a Podengo, have you any pics yet ?

    I always think in syllables too. 2 syllables are OK 3 is too many. The rescue lady, Karen originally named Buddy an African name- Vinjari. The one problem is that the kids always ask the dogs name and Buddy is much easier for a 3-4 year old to say or remember. You say "Vinjari" and the kid just stares at you. Plus there's 3 syllables. Sometimes we walk by people and they say "hey buddy" automatically and I say "how did you know his name"? They laugh and say "really"? Plus he's real friendly in that he wants to be your buddy.

    Shelley,

    The only pic I have of him, is this one. He is younger here.
    He turned 5 mo. yesterday, so he is still a baby..not that Otis isn't, he will be 10 mo next week..


  • He is soo gorgeous :D.

    He looks like Edgar (in my opinion) :).
    I like E.A.Poe so it would be the right name for me.

    Is he Podenco Grande?

  • Houston

    Yes, he is Portuguese Podengo Grande, and he does look like an Edgar, doesn't he?
    I can't wait…

    I'd say Edgar too.


  • I wanted P. Podengo Medio before Bujumbura. Maybe sometimes in the future I will have some Bs, Thai Ridgeback, Podengo and big house with huge garden :D.


  • He's just gorgeous Petra, thanks for the pic. Bet you're so excited :)

  • Houston

    Shelley.. Thank you so much..yes we are so very excited..

    Thank you for updating!! Please still send them if you can, DH's project is going well, I'm not sure how many he has, but I know more will always be appreciated, if not this year, for next year. I know he didn't get as many as he had hoped, so it's great if you can still send them! I am sorry to hear about your loss, since having a baby and starting school again, I haven't been on here nearly as much as I wish I could be, everything is so busy…but it's a good busy so I can't complain :)

    That is too cool!!! It is impossible to watch without smiling. (even though I found myself worrying for Bailey when he/she disappeared in the snow.) I think the dog is "Bailey the snow mole"! Thank you for sharing that morning smile with us. Pat

    I LOVE It's Me Or The Dog!!! She is awesome. She really lays down the law for people. Especially when the family pack order is all out of whack, which is often.

    We've had people ask us if Cory was a Shiba Inu or a Fox Terrier. Most think she is a Fox Terrier. A couple weeks after we got her, we took her on vacation with us. At one spot, someone asked about her and before we knew it, we had attracted a little crowd. It was really strange and a little worrisome because we hadn't had her long enough to know how she was going to react to so much attention from strangers. It was definitely a new experience for us! Cory took it all in stride and looked like such attention was to be expected!! Pat
