Name that puppy!

rufaro · 10-27-2009, 10:27 PM

Please help me name the late, much-lamented and highly hono(u)red Rufaro's successor. He is a 3lb2oz, 8 weeks and 2 days old, boy toy (poodle). He is either caramel, cinnamon, cafe au lait or ginger, depending on who you ask. If, after all my time here on PriusChat I have figured it out, there is a picture of him attached. Seeing as this is just about the smartest and funniest group of people I know, this should be fun...For the record, I've already considered and rejected a ton of names--but I won't tell what they are 'cause that'd spoil the fun!

(And this is taking a VERY long time to type, as I have a lap and 1 hand full of a squirmy puppy who ate over an hour ago and WELL NOT go potty as and where directed...)

Let the games begin!

You could go with Sequel...since he's the puppy AFTER the "late, much-lamented and highly hono(u)red Rufaro."

You could also call him Beta (which is the second letter in the Greek alphabet following Alpha...or the Alpha Dog Rufaro). I like using the Greek alphabet to name my animals and a few of my favs are Alpha (or Allie for short), Kappa (or Kappy), Sigma and Omega. All are unique!

You could go with Deuce...as in #2...after Rufaro.

Random name...Tink.

Techy name...Gizmo.

OMG... he is ADORABLE!!! He almost looks like a mix (maltypoo). The reason I say that is because the face looks like a Maltese. My baby girl's name is Star. Her brother (not related) passed away almost a year ago

. His name was Nando. As to a name, well there is nothing wrong with using the same name. It may give you some comfort. Give the puppy a HUGE hug from uncle David.

Is it just me, or does that puppy look like Johnny Depp?

SPEEDEAMON · 10-28-2009, 12:59 AM

How about Gari. Its the ginger served with sushi

Or Nikki. Its cinnamon in Japanese

Mocha.

Congratulations, he is a cutie no matter what you end up naming him.

Somehow I knew you wouldn't be without a faithful companion for long.

Colour names like Cinnamon and Ginger tend to sound rather...feminine, though the curls rule out something tough like Ruffian. He looks more regal than that - almost like an Auberon or a Beauregard, but that's getting pretentious, and Paddington is a bear's name. A coffee name would suit him - I was going to say Mocha, too, or Carma...or, you could call him Bindi, after the spot on his head.
