What should I name my first puppy?

Yesterday my girlfriend and I were at a mall going to watch a movie. We'd been talking about getting a dog for weeks and on the way there we stopped at a pet shop and saw a Cocker Spaniel she liked (I think they're cute but am not a big fan) but swore we were going to put in the research and not impulse buy a dog.

So we get to the mall and buy the tickets and I said I wanted to find a Beta fish to put in a vase near where I work. When we found a pet shop in the mall she saw this little white Maltese puppy. It's cute as hell and we took it home (along with a fish tank and 5 fish).

The puppy vomited on my lap 5 times on the way home but was too cute to get mad at. Anywho, I need a name. I'm inclined to name him "Brutus", "Macho" or something ironic like that but he's just too damn cute for any name I can think of.

Here's a picture of a Maltese puppy from wikipedia. I haven't gotten mine to stay still long enough for a picture even though he follows me everywhere and I am constantly trying not to step on him he also won't look at the camera for more than a second.

I'm going to keep the puppy cut so he'll look something like that as an adult.

Furball (no, no..)


Um, I looked at this map of the Maltese Islands, not much luck, unless you like Kirkop or Zebbug... or Dingli..

It's fun, this naming thing.

Bah. Vet said he needed a name so we went boring: Harry.

Don't let the Vet dictate. We've adopted adult dogs and changed their names.

I think you should name your puppy Spike.

Killer?

King?

We have a new puppy too! Nine weeks old today. His name is Diamond.

Spike, very good..



I thought of Knight, as in Knights of Malta, a group of which I am not the greatest fan, but Knight just doesn't seem to fit or have wit.

Yes, it's unlikely Pacco was named Pacco (package, meaning to me both gift and heavy boy) for the first six years of his life... he learned his new name immediately.


Although.... Harry has charm.

Took us three or four days to name our cat. Zillions of names later, I called her 'you little rascal' and Rascal was it, forevermore.

Took us a few weeks to name our shortlived interior design firm, back in the eighties, ended up using our initials, JAM.

Took us something like a month to name our gallery, Piante, for plants and plans in italian, something that related to both my business partner and I, and sounded at least mildly interesting. That beat out "Wretched Excess" easily.

My cousins had a Maltese. Hard to think of a sweeter, more loving pooch. They named him Gatsby. He was a very good dog.
