Shop dog... name ideas...

Bring it home and get to know its personality for a few days and give it a name that matches it's personality...


When I first got married, my wife gave me a Dalmatian for Christmas, knowing that I had a few when I grew up... Then when I went to see the dog at the pet store, they mentioned that they had another in back and I asked to see it... That one looked similar to the one that was my best friend when I grew up and couldn't leave it there, and couldn't leave the other, so I decided to get the other one also.... (When you can't decide, get both....)

We brought them home and spent some time with them... One was male and the other was female... We called them boy and girl for the first week....

My male was sort of a clown and while playing with him one day my wife said, "Come here Buster Brown".... I thought that matched his personality and we named him Buster....

The female had many sides to her personality, so I named her Sybil after the woman you hear about in psychology class with the 7 different personalities.... She could be sweet, bossy, sneaky, playful, caring, protective, etc...

Their middle names were Bonnie and Clyde because they were partners in crime....


So I recommend getting to know it before you name it...

When I first got married we got a female and a male Dalmatian and his name was Domino Black Jack Green. What was interesting was my wife's mother's maiden name is green.
The female Dalmatians name was spotted Miss Ellie. She had been a puppy mill for some breeder. When we got her she'd never been out of a kennel. At first she would just stay three feet from the house. She would go all the way around it but she wouldn't get any further than three feet away from it. Domino taught her to roam. Lol What a pair they were. Miss them greatly.

For a female dog or cat I will probably use Martha or Elizabeth someday.
My 2 cats are Max and Wedge.
