Poor guy still doesn't have a name. In our house, it's a toss up between Romeo and Beau (we liked Rugby but the girls didn't). Had to be a name fitting for a stocky, male dog who's calm, quiet, and gentle. We don't want to do the "opposites" thing... (for example, our last yellow lab was named Bosco. I liked Guiness too, but David vetoed that one. "Has to be a brown dog with some white," he said. Sigh.)

since you gave the other option I vote Buster

I always wait until a name just comes to me for a pet. Usually something linked with the animal's character.

I voted for "Beau", but my vote doesn't seem to be showing up.

He looks like a Barnaby Rudge to me.

I voted Beau!

Saludos,
Caro

Beau, he doesn't look a Romeo, more like a friend, a Beau.

I've always thought that Colin is a very good name for a dog... but maybe you should consider Bono?

Axel

sister jen... to you ....

and for the name..i pick Mac

Journey

then the next dog you adopt you name cheese so you can call them mac and cheese come here

Other- either Barnabe or Pickles.

Yeah, right.... I called the animal control officer, who was so generous in bending the rules, to let him know how things were going and he tried to sell me on number 4.... uh, don't think so.

Some great ideas in this thread that we hadn't thought of..... I'm writing them down.....

You're talking about Pickles, aren't you?

He looks like a Gregory to me.

Rodarbal

FENDER (BENDER)

Of course it'd be cruel to name him "Stay"...

I voted for Romeo, but he also reminds me of vanilla pudding. So you could name him puddin'

blondie

My friends named their dog "Truman" and I always thought that was a good name for a big dog.

How about "The Rock"?

I love the name Beau.....but that was my dogs name.
He looks like a Champ to me

my dogs...

doberman....dahser
black lab......bear

the best...my former imported beer drinking bassett..penny ( missed daily by me)

my great uncle named his dog, "Mutt nicht" (sp?) which means something like "must not"...

how about burro? jk

a most excellent name for a dog..

or Bosco, my pet burros name

Angus. A good, solid name.

So what's the verdict, Jen?

Rugby

I'd go with Romeo - those big brown eyes make him look like a real lover-boy. Good for you for taking him in!

Here's some other options:

• Jimmy
• Scamper
• Tramp (rather obvious where I pilfered that one)
• Snoopy
• Odie
• Tyco

I shouldn't have asked for advice... now I'm even more confused

We liked Hogan too, but David thought that everyone would think we named him after the Hulk. I wasn't even thinking that. We really do have to decide... he comes to a whistle, but ne does need a name..... sigh.

Peabody
Furioso
Bailey
Bandit

Bosco

Nugget, because of his golden coat.

Bosco was the name of our last yellow lab, rest in peace buddy <sniff>

sorry sister jen....

these 2 have my vote!

i like Bailey too....

Pickles..sounds like a puppy name

also,/...

bogart....

I knew a golden retriever named Bailey... it is a good name

Good luck! I hope you pick one that could be a human's name. I've always had a problem with the idea of naming an animal something undignified; once you love the dog, you can't imagine calling it something ridiculous. A lot of the cliche dog names have the same effect. Why give it a name a million dogs have? (Yup, this coming from someone with a cat named "Ollie," like about 20 million other American cats.)

Ok, so it seems that the family has taken to calling him "Beau", so I'm thinking that this is going to be his name. The question now is "Beauregard", or "Mr. Beau-Jangles"?

Beauregard, after the General.

Lakota

I like the new guy
