I need dog name ideas!!

fishgirl · 06-13-2008, 03:02 PM

In four weeks, I am getting a dachshund puppy!! He's a standard red male. I'm thinking of naming him Kirby after the Vacuum brand. We have a toddler who drops food for our chocolate lab who we have nicknamed "Hoover". So I thought Kirby might be cute, but I'm not 100%.

I grew up with a dachshund named Oscar (yes, after the hot dog), so I can't have that one again.

I know you guys and gals can help me come up with something creative!

butwhymalemodels · 06-13-2008, 03:08 PM

Dyson would be a cute name and it sticks with the vacuum theme.

I've always wanted a dog named chinook or coho, but my wife vetoed both of those for our dogs!

Chrome Bumper · 06-13-2008, 03:09 PM

"Meyer", but kirby is a good boy name.

weirdbeard · 06-13-2008, 03:50 PM

We named ours TURBO (as in turbo charged) loved to run chased a tennis a ball for hours... buy a CHUCK-IT tennis ball thrower you dont have to bend over to pick up a slobury ball and you can chuck-it 50 yards with a flick of the wrist..

Chromaflage · 06-13-2008, 03:55 PM

Oscar
Meyer
Johnsonville
Ball Park

MacFish · 06-13-2008, 04:05 PM

I've always wanted to name a dog Fido, but I keep getting outvoted

DAB · 06-13-2008, 04:14 PM

Hot Dog

All Meat

oregun_webfoot · 06-13-2008, 04:49 PM

Here is a whole new avenue for you. They were just talking on the news how people in china name kids after major events. This year the newest name that was registered the most was "Olympic Games". In chinese of course, so it would be something completely different when you hear it but this is the meaning.

"Banger" - English version of a sausage.

Dog names should be one or two syllables.

# 2 Rommel
# 3 Stretch
#4 Slinky
# 5 Nathan http://nathansfamous.com/index.html

And then it hit me........"Kobayashi" ......Winner !

Joe Schwab · 06-13-2008, 04:56 PM

Deli or Kosher.

Tilla · 06-13-2008, 05:36 PM

Dachsund eh? Hmmmmmmmmm.

Lux Luther....
I do like Kirby though.

jimh · 06-13-2008, 05:46 PM

Braut as in brautworst, or how ever you spell it.

fishkisser · 06-13-2008, 05:53 PM

I like Kirby ...

chrome obsession · 06-13-2008, 06:15 PM

STREAMER..........One that loves to rome streams and rivers!!!

Splash · 06-13-2008, 06:44 PM

I like Kirby and the sticking with the theme idea too. I did that with famous composers by using Beethoven and Mozart. Bay and Mo for short.

ElectroLux. Now that was funny.

Walleyer · 06-13-2008, 07:04 PM

Herr Baron Von Weinerschnitzel or Schnitzy
Onabun,as in a weiner on a bun,get it

otterduck1 · 06-13-2008, 07:10 PM

As much of a sausage fan that I am; I really do like Kirby better than any sausage product I can think of:

Landjaeger
Knockwurst
Bratwurst
Bockwurst
Little Smoky?
Vienna

Go_Getter · 06-13-2008, 07:16 PM

Knew a gal once who had one named Weiner....Really she did!

Woody · 06-13-2008, 07:23 PM

We had a weiner dog named Frank. The one we have now is Rex, as in T-Rex, because he has a big head and tiny arms.

nativedipper · 06-13-2008, 07:47 PM

Well I hope I can say this on ifish but the best name for a dog is Dam it. usually that is the next most common thing they hear after NO.

Big Willie · 06-13-2008, 08:51 PM

How about Barky bark bark bark bark barky bark barky bark bark bark.

You get the picture. Can't wait sweetheart!

Fried Oyster · 06-13-2008, 09:04 PM

If you allow me to name your dog, and agree to use the name, I'll pay you ten bucks.

69scout · 06-14-2008, 02:18 AM

"Mutt" is always my favorite name for a dog.....

But if ya want a real name, "MAX" is a good choice.

huntercgr · 06-14-2008, 05:42 AM

Lo Rider.

yankemnbankem · 06-14-2008, 06:13 AM

You cant have a Hoover unless you have a Homer! Homer fits for a little bald headed Weiner dog.

HntnFsh · 06-14-2008, 06:39 AM

Tid Bit

ryleysmom · 06-14-2008, 08:57 AM

Well he be taking walks on the street???????

Name him -------Street-Walker.

dre5063 · 06-14-2008, 09:36 AM

Staubsaugen....German for Vacuum.

Jennie@ifish · 06-14-2008, 03:17 PM

"Dogname!" Is that good?

Jennie@ifish · 06-14-2008, 03:18 PM

Seriously, tho... I like older women's names... Myrtle, Lucille, Roxanne, that kind of thing.

Woops.... It's a boy. OK.

Edward, Robert, Chester, Ernie.... I love those!

Clyde · 06-14-2008, 03:23 PM

kilchisfisher · 06-14-2008, 03:26 PM

I have to admit I like Fido which was suggested earlier. But Kirby keeps with the theme.

buckhunter · 06-14-2008, 03:46 PM

I've always wanted to name one of my dogs a simple name like Bill, Dave, Jeff, Mike ect. but the family never lets me. Kirby is my vote,,,,,

merrile · 06-14-2008, 07:50 PM

Culter!

fishgirl · 06-14-2008, 08:10 PM

You guys are good. And you're crackin' me up. I love the idea of Lux Luther! But I don't think I could holler that at my dog in public without being a little embarrassed.

My husband's stupid idea of Barky Bark Bark etc. is dumb. He's just mad I'm bringing home another mouth to feed!

I also forgot to mention that our other dog's real name is Dolly (named after Dolly Parton) so a country music theme also works. Kenny and Dolly would be kind of funny!

Lassie was a boy, all of them. You can name it whatever you want.

Sweet Melissa · 06-14-2008, 10:03 PM

Frankfurt

Kenny would be funny, too. "Doggies in the stream, that is what we are..."

nehalemguy · 06-15-2008, 04:54 AM

Kirby is cute.

However, you also have to remember that you are talking about a little dog that will think he is much bigger that he really is. So....here are are few suggestions.

Roscoe
Maximus.....Max for short.
Ferris
Maynard
Leroy
Rodney

bassettmama · 06-15-2008, 07:08 AM

SLink, or Kirby is really a cute name for a doxie.

PaPa Jon · 06-15-2008, 10:51 AM

Kirby sounds right to me.

lor · 06-15-2008, 12:18 PM

Your offer is real tempting, considering the cost of this dog!!

Irish Pennant · 06-15-2008, 05:11 PM

Stick with Kirby.

You gotta have a theme

Ours is music with a military accentuation

Sargent Pepper
Major Tom
Captain Fantastic

Otherwise known as Sarge, Major and Cap

GRUMPYR · 06-16-2008, 09:43 AM

This is Chile' as in Chile' Dog

This is Schnitzle as in Wienerschitzle

CATCH AND EAT · 06-16-2008, 10:10 AM

Dog name? How about Cheddy as in Cheddibrauts?????

Axle?

Sporty?

Hoover?

Cheach?

fishgirl · 06-16-2008, 10:40 AM

Oh, Grumpyr! Those are TOO stinkin' cute.

Newbs · 06-16-2008, 10:46 AM

I wanted to name my new dog "Ruger". It's not a vacuume but I think that's a cool name for a dog. Unfortunalty my wife and daughter like "Jackson".

GRUMPYR · 06-16-2008, 11:59 AM

this is Schnitzle the week we brought him home. All 10 ounces of him and nothing but attitude.

ORrinker · 06-16-2008, 12:18 PM

When I was growing up we got an adult from the pound that was already named "Adolph". Not sure if I would have picked that name

Randy

fishkisser · 06-16-2008, 02:15 PM

Red ... Or Red Hot ... Original Huh ...

iwanttofish · 06-16-2008, 04:59 PM

Duckwheat · 06-16-2008, 06:30 PM

We have a Dachshund. My daughter named him Badger. It fits him really well.

I was in the park the other day and met a lady with her black lab, Betty.

I liked it. The next hunting dog I am getting is going to be Bill or Chuck. I have never had a friend named Bill or Chuck.

DW

K-sigfish · 06-17-2008, 09:31 AM

I always like the ironic names like my friends chihuahua named goliath

I would go with Hurcules. Than again you could name him charlie so when he's under foot an you accidentaly step on him you can say "Sorry Charlie"

fishgirl · 06-17-2008, 07:38 PM

What do you guys think of the name Magnum? Magnum PI is one of my favorite shows of all time, and I always wanted to get two black and tan dachshunds and name them Zeus and Apollo. Those of you who've watched the show know what I'm talking about! Then I could shout out the front door, "Zeus, Apollo! Patrol!".

Who knew picking a dog name could be so hard? Naming this dog is distracting me from my other job of picking a name for the human boy who's due to arrive in October.... ugh. That's the job that will be hard!

GRUMPYR · 06-18-2008, 08:06 AM

Zeus and Apollo. That's perfect! Schnitzle is referred to as our Ratweiler from time to time.
