For the record, we think we've settled on a name for our new Wheaten Terrier pup due to arrive home just before Thanksgiving. But, I thought it would be fun to have a poll. I hope there are enough people here to have one....lol!

We thought Nova might not be too good.... because of "NO! NOVA!
Yep...boy dog this time around. We keep hearing their temperment is mellower, although our dear girl was a sweetheart. Just a little skitzy around company. They also say males bond better with females, and vice versa. Might be true, because our girl sure adored my husband. Yes, it is an American coat.... light beige. They are darker as pups. "Mer"ry is a nickname for Merlin???? Of course there will be pictures! We saw the pups two weeks ago. They were only two weeks, eyes closed, and dark brown blobs. Not much to look at yet. They are an hour from home, but we are going to try to go back again before we bring him home. Cara

the assorted nics.
I don't want to be a pet party pooper . But... I think it is important to live with the new pet for a while to see what personality is present. Sometimes that really steers you to the "right" name. We have struggled as long as a week to get it comfortable. And don't discount Harry... as it seems that is a common denominator here! . Harry short for Harrison, of course .

I like Murry - cute name for a cute pup.
Of course since it is a WHEATen terrier you could name it Spelt or Triticale. . I don't like Barney unless he is purple. Anne |

DO NOT call your dog BJ!!!
. . Can you imagine being out in the park calling 'Beeeee Jaaaaaay! Beeeee Jaaaaaay!' (I don't personally mind it but there are some very rude people out there and kids... esp. 12 and up can be pretty rude to other 12 yr olds.) I agree that Nova might be too confusing for the dog. I like MrsD's thoughts about 'Harry'. I also would probably go with what Anne said about waiting until the dog has lived with you for a while. When we rescued our GS. He was about 6. We named him Sar, after the area he was picked up in. Later, we found he would sit, like a king at the top of the stairs and 'survey his kingdom'. Luckily we could just change his name to Czar so it still applied and didn't confuse him. Our rottie rescue's name was "Rush" as in Mount Rushmore. But after spending a few days with us, we noticed that he just wasn't answering to it. We made a list of about 100 names, deleted the ones that each of us hated and ended up with three. We ended up not being able to decide and so called the dog by all three names... and he answered to George, so that was it. . It really seems like both names were out of our hands. . So, I didn't vote, but it was fun talking about it and telling the stories of our dog-naming-events. .
