How about Sirius , Kazor, Reveille, or Zeus? He is soo cute. I am very jealous. My husband and I are shopping for a brindle girl. We have a red & white boy, his name is Tobias. Good luck and congratulations!

Congratulations! I am so happy you found an adorable puppy for Caesar. I am not very good at names, does he have a registered name? Maybe that would help figure it out.

Sirius, Kazor, and Reveille are all kennel names of well known breeders in the basenji breed. I don't think they would like seeing their kennel name attached to a dog that was not of their breeding.

What are his parents' names? Maybe you can find inspiration in their names. My Rally's mom was Luna so all of her puppies have registered names with Moon in the name. I don't tend to pick my dogs' call names to match their registered names but for lots picking the registered name leads to the dog's call name. Nicky picked his own name.

When I found my B I got on the internet and looked up Egyptian names, and Africian names. I liked Sahara from the Sahara Dessert, so my baby's name is Africian Queen Sahara and it fits her completely, she is a Queen!!!!

Congratulations - he is beautiful, Betsey! I'm sure you'll figure it out after spending a few hours at home with him and Ceasar! Keep us posted!

I like Simon. I would have named Abbey that if she'd been a boy.

He Rocks! Lux wants one now! Bongo would be a good name as in Bongo from the Congo, Alpha? Alphie for short (also is a lttle tribute to Beta). Tut, or the full Tutenkhamen when he's naughty.

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....

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

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? -

**What a cute face!
I like the names
Demsey
Finlay or Finley (pronounced same different spelling)
Wiley
Riley
Tierney (means Lord)
OakleySomething 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".

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.
