Name My Puppy

12:09 / 17.01.06

I like Rose.

How about

Moominrose?

Mono

12:23 / 17.01.06

Chantelle.

12:24 / 17.01.06

Heh. Someone at work already suggested Chantelle! (Betcha can't guess who, mono- here's a clue. He's Portuguese).

'Trogdora' is the obvious solution to that problem.

I think you should call her... er... um... actually, I think I agree with Little My, but it's hard to shorten. Nipper?

12:30 / 17.01.06

So how about modifying it to Chanterelle, like the mushroom?

Hell, what about mushroom; or even psylocybin (which could then shorten to Psylo)?

12:33 / 17.01.06

Pollylocybin?

William Sack

12:33 / 17.01.06

Tove or Dr. Jessica Parsons.

12:33 / 17.01.06

Come on. Only a brain-fried hippie who fell into a cauldron of tie-dye as a baby would even entertain the notion of calling their dog "Psylocybin".

12:35 / 17.01.06

OR! or!

Polly Jean? Simple, classic, excellent provenance,

12:35 / 17.01.06

Some wag would inevitably decide to dose her up "for a laugh" and I'd have to spend ages convincing her I wasn't actually made of eggs or something.

12:36 / 17.01.06

GGM- that would be far too Yeovil.

12:37 / 17.01.06

oops. Sorry, forgot about the Y connection.

12:39 / 17.01.06

Although I like Trogdora, which gives you Dora for short, which is a good Worst-Witch type name.

12:45 / 17.01.06

Also anything to do with the Worst Witch is totally stylin'.

(I felt really weird typing that. I wanted to write 'styling'. That would have been wrong, wouldn't it?)

12:47 / 17.01.06

(I think then you'd have to drop 'totally'. Perfectly styling? Jolly styling?)

12:49 / 17.01.06

Only a brain-fried hippie who fell into a cauldron of tie-dye as a baby would even entertain the notion of calling their dog "Psylocybin".

What about suggesting your friend call their dog Psylocybin?

Kit-Cat Club

12:53 / 17.01.06

(I think on reflection I should have stuck to 'super'.)

12:56 / 17.01.06

Meta suggestion (with historical antecedants): call her... Stoatie!

13:17 / 17.01.06

She is very bright.

How about naming her after a very bright woman then?

Simone? (de B)
Nina (S)
Lydia (L)
Cosey/Christine?

etc etc

grant

13:36 / 17.01.06

I still like Moomin.

In Mandarin, there's a fairly common name that means "bright" or "brilliant" -- Hui, pronounced "Hoo-way" (or "hway") really quickly as if you were just hit in the belly by a football.

13:44 / 17.01.06

GGM- so not Chantelle then?

13:54 / 17.01.06

Oh, I like Chantelle, I'm just on a roll with names. Chantelle is lovely.

How about Chantelle de Beauvoir?

13:55 / 17.01.06

Thing is, there's still over a week of CBB to go... if I end up despising Chantelle for some reason it could be really, really bad.

13:57 / 17.01.06

What's everyone's opinion on Brunnhilde?

Sekhmet

13:59 / 17.01.06

Stoatie.

Name Her Pirate.

13:59 / 17.01.06

I thought of Pirate... then (obviously) Bandit...

...still not entirely ruled either of 'em out.

Sekhmet

14:05 / 17.01.06

Or name her after a woman pirate. There's a list here!

Grace O'Malley would be a good one. Or Sadie. Sadie is a great dog name.

Stoatie must have a piratical dog!

Sekhmet

14:07 / 17.01.06

OMG, there was a lady pirate called Charlotte Badger.

14:09 / 17.01.06

I already know a dog called Sadie!

Shrug

14:12 / 17.01.06

Granuaile? Grainne Mhaoil shurly.

As well as Moominvalley, there's a treasure trove of good names from the Narnia catalogue too.

Tim Tempest

14:13 / 17.01.06

Call it: The Samaritan.

That's a badass name.

Triplets

14:42 / 17.01.06

I reckon Captain would be a great name for a dog. Piratey too!

modern maenad

14:48 / 17.01.06

OOH ooh, I am combining themes as we speak:

Call her Bandit Queen, after Phoolan Devi (aka Bandit Queen), she was a kick ass rapists nightmare of a bandit.

or,re: the shopping assistance of earlier today, how about

Stoatie's Little Helper?
