I have a secret plan to come up with a funny name or pronounceable acronym that I can attempt to [innocently] convince the girls to choose as his name.

A name that, if you heard it, you'd have a laugh but the locals wouldn't blink an eye at ;)

Examples:

Frak
Growler
NED
Chav
Boner

Suggestions welcome (what's the worst we could get away with?) :thumbsup:

(Collie) Flower

Fork

Regina

I don't know about what name you could get away with, but human names are usually a good bet for turning heads. Richard would be a cool name for him...

Most of these are perfectly acceptable names for Canadian humans.

We recently got a puppy. A girl

Me and OH pulled out all these names:

Penny- so we could shout in a nerd like fashion, Penny , Penny , Penny
Vera- so we could sing Vera, vera what has become of you?
Ruby, for Ruby Murray, curry
Minnie - the poocher

We thought these were all hilarious and laughed at how funny we were.
The kids didn't agree and after a complex name choosing effort we settled on the name the breeders had given her, Ziva.

PS I like flower the best suggestion, but not so much suited to a boy dog. Can he not be a trannie?

That's the best name. I'm renaming the cat as we speak.

Thanks for the input everyone :)

I've made some suggestions to the "naming committee" and it appears I have a battle on my hands. From the original short list, they like "Taz" and have been listing off all the reasons for this choice.

I did get a good reaction from "Teabag" and "Frak". So I thought I'd made a break-through but they're still standing firm :frown:

I want to also suggest "Gunt" (as in: "You can go rest your gunt on the table over there, Mrs Miggins"). But I'm too scared.

"Clunge" is cute (glad I looked that one up before I said it out aloud).

"Rod" does have a euphemisitc quality to it.

Not sure if the dog will be a tranny - he's probably going to have his nuts removed at six months. I suppose if he grows breasts he could be called "Moobs".

Pikey & Gypo... if anything else that belongs in the garden gets moved in here, that's what I'm calling them :sneaky:

Did someone say "Dick Cheese"?

Thanks for all the others, and there's still time for more :)
