Name Suggestions?

@thejackalope I like the idea of this, but the girl we lost in July was named Roxy, and a Rory nickname would be too close. I already had someone ask me this past weekend when we were planning to “replace” her.
/giphy douchebag

@PurplePawprints Giphy finally nails it.

@Fuzzalini Right? That came up on the first go. Oh course, said relative was/is a Trumper, so not surprising.

@PurplePawprints You lost Roxy? Aw, damn. May I ask what happened I really loved the pictures of her you posted. (I Boxers.) Now I’m sad.

@PurplePawprints sorry to hear about your loss! Maybe “schach”/shock instead

@thejackalope Thank you. She was a good girl.

@Barney She had an inoperable tumor behind her eye. We found out about it in Feb/Mar. She held her own for quite a while, but then went down hill quite fast. Her last few days were rough.

@PurplePawprints Aw, poor baby. And Torben lost someone he loved…

@Barney He really did adore her. He didn’t mourn as much as I thought he would. He became a lot needier and attached to me, so maybe he just transferred it over to me. He definitely needs a packmate though.

@PurplePawprints Sorry for your loss.

@f00l Thank you! We’re excited and a bit nervous. After Torben I said I’d never get another puppy, but well, like babies, you tend to forget just how bad those first few months are.

@medz

Having an interesting day?

Hope it’s a good one.

@f00l living the dream

@medz

Whatever gets you through the night …

@thismyusername Seymour Butts?

@SSteve technically Asses.

@OldCatLady Oooh, that was a really interesting read. And yeah, we’re hoping he’s going to be a big one. He’ll need to be to keep up with Torben.

@PurplePawprints I like the Finn reference. You might consider using “Fingal” (which is the Scots alternative; both easier to pronounce, and to spell).

@luvche21
WOOFgang - excellent!

@PurplePawprints Oh he’s coming from my neck of the woods! Guessing you probably wouldn’t go for Rebel, doesn’t have to be a Southern thing, it could be Rebel Without a Cause thing. I looked up Torben which means Thor’s Bear, that wasn’t helpful…lol…all I can think of now is Loki…but that’s because he’s just a cutie. Bad, but cute. Last one, since a lot of suggestions have been kind of literary in nature, Sherlock.

@mehbee My dad actually had a German Shepherd named Rebel when I was a kid. I wonder if I could get my husband to go for Loki…

@PurplePawprints I think Loki is cute and Loki is the trickster and he looks like he’s going to give you a wonderful run for your money!

@PurplePawprints Oh and I had a friend that had a German Shepard named Rebel!!!

@mehbee My husband said he isn’t opposed to Loki so it’s in the running.

@PurplePawprints woo hoo!

@CaptAmehrican I have no idea yet other than “gets along with everything and isn’t overly destructive.” He’s actually a few weeks older now than the flyer suggests. We won’t decide on a name for sure until we meet him, and it often takes a few days for us to decide, but I’m trying to come up with ideas now, at least.

@aetris No Danish connection. My husband has Irish roots, and the pup is thought to be an Irish Wolfhond mix. My husband is also into Viking shit right now. Torben’s name is supposed to be derived from “Thor’s Bear” or something like that. He’s mentioned he may want to continue with a similar theme, but I’m not sure that’s going to fit this pup. I do like Soren, though.

@PurplePawprints Torben is a Danish take of Torbjorn, which means Thor Bear. In Scandinavia Thursday is Torsdag, literally Thor’s Day.

Want to stick with a Scandinavian name?

@PurplePawprints - With all that Irish he ought to be a Sean, Finn, or Russell. But if your husband is into VIKINGS, umph. Try “Cúchulainn” on him. Or Cú [husband’s name].

@RiotDemon My husband is saying yeah, Scandinavian, Norse, Danish, etc. He looked up and found all the background info when we got Torben and named him.

@aetris It’s funny you suggest that because my husband’s name is Shawn. He already nixed Finn when I told him about @OldCatLady’s suggestion. I’d have to figure out the pronunciation “Cúchulainn”…

@PurplePawprints - “Coohooley” is close enough, but admittedly hard to yell in emergencies. Beats “Mjölnir” though, imho.

@aetris @RiotDemon My husband suggested Haldor (Thor’s Rock). When I posited that people would think we were saying “Hodor” he responded, “I know, it would be awesome”. So, that’s what I’m dealing with here. haha

@PurplePawprints - It may be time to rename your husband!

@PurplePawprints If you want Scandinavian, try Trygve (pronounced TROOGvuh). It’s a Norwegian name you don’t hear much over here and derives from “trustworthy.”

@SSteve that’s my grandpa’s name.

@RiotDemon Ha det bra, farfar!

@RiotDemon Sunday and Monday named for the sun and moon. Tuesday named for Tyr, the Norse god of war (called Tiw by Anglo Saxons), Wednesday is named for Odin, aka Wodin. Friday is Frig/Freya’s day (Odin’s wife), and Saturday is for Saturn, Roman god of fun and feasting. So many centuries later and for many Saturday is still for fun and feasting.

@moondrake in Norwegian Saturday is lørdag, it means washing day. Not quite as exciting.

@Barney

@PurplePawprints

@moonhat Thanks! Keep working on him. You’ll wear him down eventually.

/giphy Dogs are life

@RiotDemon Sindri is one that my husband suggested this morning. I think y’all might be looking at the same sites. I’ll pass these suggestions along, too. Thanks!

Fandral the Dashing
Hogun the Grim
Volstagg the Valiant

@medz
/giphy I see what you’re doing

@PurplePawprints really?

@medz Not really, but I felt like I was missing something and should pretend like I got it.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯

@PurplePawprints
/image nose point animated gif

Or Robles.

Floyd or Fflewddur Fflam.

Tex or Floopity Doo

@cranky1950 I thought Howard was something you named a duck.

@rtjhnstn Well it’s a good duck name too. Larry is a good name for that dog too.

@cranky1950 Larry the Lobster.

Also try Harold, especially if you have purple crayons.

@mfladd Thanks! I’m glad you like that pic. My phone was being a punk and only showing the one I’d taken most recently, so I was glad it was a halfway decent one, at least.

@moondrake Gorgeous!

@moondrake I’ll mention it to my husband, but we live in WV and most people will think we named him after Beef.
/giphy seriously?

Your dogs are gorgeous!

@tinamarie1974

@moondrake that is one of my favorite episodes
