Just a little funny re: naming a new puppy german shepard

[sproutster]

Me - I want to name it Bon Bon
Kid - Wants to name it cybersquash

Talking to co-workers ... It get's around to german names, and mean names.

Himmler, Goering, and of course Adolph.

... I get back to my desk and am inspired.

msg co-workers:

Ooo I've decided to go with Adolph, but americanize it. I'm naming it Unitary Executive.

:D

Happy Friday guys!!

1. How about "Loki" --though that might be tempting fate a bit!

[brentspeak]

5. Actually, "Thor" wouldn't be a bad name for a German Shepherd

It's Scandinavian, not German, but it fits the image of a large, powerful dog.

8. Woden. Sigmund. Siegfried. Otto. Ermintrude. Gus.

Lubitsch.

Dietrich.

Kubrick.

Hitchcock.

Frankenheimer.

von Stroheim.

Rudolph.

Reiner.

Schlesinger.

Preminger.

9. Yes, yours is better. Thor is a good name, and Loki might make mischief! n

2. I'm partial to Colonel Klink.

I like puppies. :)

3. You should name him Congress.

This is the only way that you will call it several times a day and it will listen to you!

edit: Good luck with your new puppy!

[brentspeak]

4. No, give him a nice name

"Bon Bon" -- the other dogs will laugh at him.

6. Naming dogs is always such a decision!!

Hitler's German shepard was named 'Blondie'. Doesn't that just figure?
Enjoy the new member of your family.

7. Bon bon is what you call a poodle. A toy poodle.

10. Anyone like my second choice? Angus

11. Choosethe name that fits your dogs personality, but don't

forget...What is it going to sound like when you have to yell out your back door, for all your neighbors and all to hear... HERE XXXXXX!

12. Jake and Joe

I had two german shepherds, brothers, from the same litter, for 12 years. I loved my dogs! Both developed health problems at 11 yrs. One had hip displasia, the other, ruptured bowel glands. I had them put down a year ago. I now have a black lab, a wonderful and intelligent dog, but I sure miss my boys.

13. My favorite German male name is Udo. Here Udo! Fetch Udo!

[Chomskyite]

14. What I'd name him

Wotan!

There's that great moment near the end of Wagner's Die Walkure when Wotan is coming down from the clouds, bellowing because his three daughters the Walkure have disobeyed him. Some of the greatest angry music there is, almost as good angry music as Metallica's St. Anger.

15. My Pitt bull/Boxer's name is Maximillon P.B. Boxer

You did not mention what sex your dog is, that is very important in this decision, especially for the dog's mental health.

With the name, Adolph I am assuming the dog is a male. So with that, here is my suggestion: G. Mann Shepard.

Of course the dog will know his name as "G" or "G Mann" when he is pushing your pissed-off button or G. Mann Shepard when he needs a good chewing (ha, ha, a dog needs a good chewing ha, ha, I just crack myself up, ha! ha!).

Good-luck with the new member of the family.

G-Mann is a good name for a dog because they are sticking their big nose where is does not belong.
