Suprised your third choice wasn't Tadger, just to continue the theme developing with your first two suggestions .

Stay

Honey- she will be a love and give you much love.

She's lovely.... how about Sooty?

Well - thanks for all the suggestions and we've spent some time and had a good few giggles a lot of the names.

In the end we've gone for a very normal name of 'Ellie'. This was the mothers name of our previous Lab we had for years. I was fighting for nigger and a couple of the other suggestions but was on a loser with those. Hehe.

Only been a short thread but loved it - thanks.

Looking forward to July 5th when we pick her up.

Ellie's nice.... suits her.

in true Canadian fashion I was gonna suggest "****inthe"

But Ellie works.

Spot? Patch?

Why don't you wait to see what your dog's personality is like before you name her rather than just going by what color she is ? It also seems unfair that human beings get at least two names and pets get only one. Our dog started out being called Segovia but that soon got changed to Tweakey McPiddle.

Out of curiosity, why are there so many "funny photos" on the internet that use that large white block lettering? Has that become a standard font for adding humorous text to a photo or do all the photos emanate from the same source? I started noticing it about a year ago, but prior to that photos with words on them seemed to use a variety of fonts?

That sounds reasonable. Our cat started out as Honda. The vet didn't like that and her paperwork still bears the name Chaton. We call her Minette.

Ellie is fine, two syllables so she's easy to call and doesn't sound like a command, (that's the problem with Joe, Brit, and Stay). Give her a treat for me!

The name we picked isn't relative to being black. A dogs name is supposed to be short with 2 syllables for ease of them understanding commands.

The reason we wanted a name sooner rather than later is so that the breeder will now start to call the puppy by it's name and it will get used to it being called that before we even pick it up which again will aid in the training of the dog.

The chances are when we get to know her personality she'll have a number of nick names but when being called, told to sit, stay, down etc it'll be Ellie - just like kids
