Help us name our new puppy!

[scottracy]

I got our family a new puppy for Christmas. He is a 9 week old sable German Shepherd. He is scheduled to arrive at our home here in Texas on the 22nd from North Carolina. He is from the "G" litter and should have a G name. I do not have a picture of him yet but I do have one of his father.

well....G is a bit of a tough one... try "Gunther" which is german for "warrior"
or Galahad "pure and noble"..all else fails "goof ball" usually works lol

[Emg]

General Lee (and I"M a Yankee ! Lol)

[Boohoo]

Gizmo

[Mako]

Geico, gizzard (I know a cat named gizzard), grizzly, "griz", graffiti (again, I know a calico cat named graffiti)

[Slappy*McFish]

Duke is what I'd name him, with or without a G.;)

[pbrack]

Gonzo? Geronimo?

[you made me ink]

Griswald...-lol-

George

Gunther

thats all i could really think of

[FisheyLisa]

Is the dog from a breeder?
It is beautiful!!! Oh wait, that isn't 9 weeks old! O you said it was his father. DUH!

My parents raise Fidelco shepards to be trained for the blind. They have lettered litters in the same way- so we are always trying to come up with wacky names...like z names or I names.

Gustav
Griffen
That's all. I am not too creative right now. I'll see if I can think of more.
Congrats on the pup!!!

[Mako]

FisheyLisa's avatar made me think......

How about Grover?

[squall_japan]

guard
guardian
garfield -> garf?
garnet
goodwill

[TheMightyQueenPixie]

Geronimo sounds great...I actually knew a Shep named Geronimo once

[mandimoron]

Oh, I adore German sheppards! You simply must post pictures of the little fuzzball when you bring him home!

Being the video game addict I am, of course I'll suggest Ganon or Goomba as a name. Or perhaps Gryphon? Ghengis? Gyro? Gatsby? Goethe? (<-- The English major in me especially likes the last two. Hah.)

[cyberbeer65]

Gerhard

[Warmaster259]

Gifford
Garfunkalo

Lol :p:

[pbrack]

HAHAHA...Garfunkalo...? HAHAHAHA

I think that's the funniest name I've ever heard. I wonder if it's a typo :D

[Warmaster259]

HAHAHA...Garfunkalo...? HAHAHAHA

I think that's the funniest name I've ever heard. I wonder if it's a typo :D

nope...... I just thought it sounded funny :joke:

[scottracy]

Garfunkalo--that is funny!

He is from a breeder in NC. I have an 11 year old black/tan male from the same breeder. I also had a black/tan female that died one year ago form the same breeder that was 12 years.

The people that breed the dogs are much better with dogs than with computers. Hopefully I will be able to post some pics of the pup soon.

Keep up with the names. There are some good ones!

[Rava]

Are you concerned about vet care during the holidays at all? Between traveling and all the dangers of the holidays (food, decorations, ect.), you may have one stressed pup! I bet he's gorgeous, from the look of his father. :)

[mykidsmylife]

Beautiful Daddy! I bet the pup is gorgeous

Gremlin
Garrette
Gary (Two young kids, Spongebob goes into everything....sorry)
George
Grange

[Marn]

Guss

I like the name Gate.. i think it is so fitting for a German Shepard.. as they are protectors ..u know he will be the gate keeper of the house .. :)
and such a orginal name ..
I can even picture his dad being called gate.. ..what is his dads name ??

Rava Are you concerned about vet care during the holidays at all? Between traveling and all the dangers of the holidays (food, decorations, ect.), you may have one stressed pup! I bet he's gorgeous, from the look of his father.

Rava--I agree that there are many bad or poor breeders out there. I am personal friends and have known this family of GS breeders for 12+ years now. The pup is not truely a Christmas gift but more of a timely addition to our family. I have been waiting for this particular litter since March 2005. The shepherd we have now is 11 y/o and the we lost one last year from old age at the age of 12 years (died in her sleep). Both dogs from the same breeder. We have at least 2+ acres of secure land and a calm animal friendly family. I like your thinking! Its obvious you have real concern for animal friends!


I can even picture his dad being called gate.. ..what is his dads name ??

His dad's name is Yancy! I like Gate.........I will run it by the family.


Scott

[mykidsmylife]

If his dad's name is Yancy how about Glancy for his son?

[Halo]

Did you buy him from a fellow in Yancey county NC? Heh, was he a guy named Stirrel? I might know your dog breeder!

Name him Gervase, or Gerbil

[flyingfish]

If he's a really good puppy you could name him Gabriel. :)

[mermaiden78]

woooohooooooooo you liked the name my good deed is done lol...Let me know if ya use it for sure

[mermaiden78]

WHOOOOOOOHOOOOOOOOOOO you like that name hehehe let me know if ya use it we had a bull dog names gate keeper and we called him Gate for short... VERY COOL DOG... All dogs go to heaven right :dog: :Angel:

[Marn]

oh i love English Bulldogs .. and i will get one in time .. just need to save up for it .. and i allready have a name for him... Hampton.. i think it is so fitting gor a bulldog.. my hubby wants a Golden Retriever and he wants to name it Vincent..
I sure hpe ya go for Gate .. i just think it is so fitting.. and if he looks anything like his dad . the name will suit him..
i knew a husky with one blue eye and brown eye named Balance.. he was such a beautifull dog..

Marn

[nursie]

If you ever get another one, and need a "C" name, a friend of mine had a sable German shepard named Cinders...she died of old age recently too.

[cohazard]

I have some:

Ganymede (Ga-neh-meed)

Garver

Grisham

Gerson (her-son) <---my buddy from high school, lol

Garrison

Gohan

Gable (like Clark Gable)

[phoenix]

Gimli

Gandalf

Gwaihir

Glorfindel

[Leopardess]

Well...Gunther was my first choice but pixie beat me to it. I've also always liked Günter (Goontr) and Gustave. G names sound cooler when they're germanic.

Or these...some I've always liked, some I found on the internet looking:
Gus
Gawain from Athurian legend.
Goliath - good name for a big dog
Gomer - Apparently old english for good fight or famous battle. Know someone on the forums who uses this name
Grady - means noble
Griswold - I like that

[pbrack]

Gong
Gonad
Grumble

[Leopardess]

See though...the thing is you have to think of something that sounds okay when you're yelling it off the back porch at 6 am. Gonad just doesn't meet that criterion;)

[Slappy*McFish]

Gee Gee
Gidget
Goofy

:soda:

[Roan Art]

Noble-looking daddy, with a little hint of mischeviousness about his eyes -- hrm. Here's a few short ones:

Gem
Grant
Grey
Gate <-- someone beat me to that one :)
Grain
Gram

What's his registered name? Are you allowed to do that, or is that up to the breeder?

Roan

[tricksterpup]

GO-GO
Gadget
GO-GO Gadget
Goliath
Grommet
Gee Whiz
Grumble
Geezhoseafat

[TheMightyQueenPixie]

I love Gromet!

Our new German Shepherd puppy arrived this morning. We decided to name him Gunther! He is a big sweetie! Thanks for all the names!

[mykidsmylife]

Aaaaawwww. He is so adorable!!! I LOVE his name too. Congratulations on the new family member.

[dwayne]

OMG he is beautiful!! I got to this thread too late... I was going to suggest Gollum! Gunther, it's perfect! What a sweetie!

[sky.eyes.woman]

Wow, he is nice looking! They must be breeding some good dogs if they live 10+ years consistently...German Shepherds I would consider a large breed and larger dogs usually live less than 9 years on the average. What kind of food have you been feeding them?
