ideas for dog name
 

Family friend thinking of getting an Irish Troodle and I wanted to offer some Irish inspired names in the event they move forward


Ollis O'Neil or
Ollis O'Malley

I think I like the 5 syllables better than 4. Seems more regal.

Ideas?

How about Seamus O'Nme? Or Paddy O'Dorr? Sorry, too punny?

got the 2nd one but the first??

thanks!

Seamus O'Nme...or Shame is on me?

What is a troodle?

The Irish word for "dog" is "madadh", which is pronounced as "mah-doo". Just throwing that out there as a suggestion.

I like ironic dog names. My last dog weighed 150 pounds, and his name was Tiny. (Full name was TinyMonsters)

I already private messaged you about the weird coincidence in the names in your first post. I told my parents. They got a giggle out of it.

Murdoch, Finn, Duffy, MacDuff
Faolan & Conan; both mean hound or wolf

Naming a pet is tough....

I tend to favor simple names, as I've learned that long names tend to abbreviate with time.

With our last kitten, I had a list of names ending in a... I wanted something different from Weezie in sound. When we got her, then I went thru the list, over a week's time or so, until one seemed to "fit" her personality. (so we called her baby for a short time... as I call all our kittens baby ... :rolleyes: ) The final choice was Maya.
It was 2012 and the Maya end of days was predicted. She is very timid even today...to her the end of the world may still be imminent!

Good Morning Everybody :)
 

You would like our cats then...we have one named Mouse, for his white fur and pink nose that makes him look like a lab mouse; one named Scooby, for his willingness to do anything for a snack; and one named Lobo (Spanish for wolf) due to his face and eyes looking very wolffish. I think the folks at the vet office just think we are confused...

I love those names! LOL Weezie is named for the sound she makes all the time. She rarely meows (except in the car) and instead says Whheeeeee! to us. So I named her Weezie. The vets all think that we named her that because she might have a lung problem and wheezes! But actually Weezie is a nick for Louise as well. Weezie is my avatar right now.;)

Wow!! Thank you all for the ideas. What fun.

I think Angus is a Scottish name.

I like MacDuff.... but isn't that Scottish?

I think if I ever did get another dog, I'd be naming it after characters in books. I'd like to name a dog "Sherlock", since I'm a big fan of the originals books, and also a fan of the British tv show. (more than a fan of the tv show...obsessed fangirl is more like it)

Sherlock literally means "fair-haired", and is Old English, but I've also read that it's Irish.

Names are like literature and love - we are always surprised at the choices of others.

i've seen so many cute names on the show TOO CUTE. it's on on saturday nite i think on animal planet. it should be new tonite but i don't know if it's puppies or kittens.

of course i don't remember the names now but they are adorable and different too.
