Oxo!

Milly-Molly-Mandy

I'm loving the food related names. Very BE of us. Surprised we haven't gone for names like

removal

tele (as in TV)

Roger (even though its female)

Skype

I hate to get technical, but in the picture, there is a lump...and that's why you got the Dick, Willy and Nudger suggestion. Is this the abdominal chord? So it's a girl? Or is it a willy, and he's a boy. You can't call a boy Molly.

.....just saw you post, it's NOT a willy!

some words that go after "black" (I like 2-syllable names for dogs...)

Magic
Velvet (if you please - good CanCon connection there too)
Pudding
Pepper
Sabbath
Coffee
Treacle

thinking of treacle, Molly would work as it could be short for Molasses...

Ali G (am I getting all these suggestions because I is black?)

That's what Guy Gibson of Dambusters fame called his black lab and Richard Todd as Gibson, used the name in the original movie. It is now dubbed out when the movie is shown. There's supposedly a remake being made and the dog will be called Digger.

I went 'looking' with my OH last night at a dog knowing for sure that we'd end up with one and we did. It's not ready yet so we can only pick her up on July 5th but we are busy picking names. I'm sure we've had a thread similar to this so my aplogies if that is the case but wanted to get everyone's thoughts.

I'm obviously expecting some ridiculous responses and quite looking forward to some and it wouldn't be right if I didn't get any so thanks in advance to Oink, dbd33, BristolUK and the others for those :D

I've attached a picture we took last night when we first got there.

I can't remember what the favourites are but will post our 'best of the rest' later on tonight when I see the constantly changing list.

What a cutie .... :)

We have a black lab cross ... Jett .... but (apart from Joan Jett) maybe not a female's name.

His sisters are called Cinders and Domino (because she has white paws!).

We considered a lot of names for our dogs ..... Luna; Pearl; Magic (as in Black Magic!); Marmite (that didn't wash with anyone except me!). I like 'grandma' and 'grandpa' names - Stella, Molly, Daisy, Ethel, Mabel, Dory, Charles, Eric, Bob, etc, etc.

However now we've had our male dog for a little while I think I would have chosen Hoover or Piglet based on his eating habits.

Have fun with your new pup ... J :)

:sneaky: Oh - its a GIRL :sneaky: I'm sooo innocent :p

Doggie Woggie or Frak.
