I am getting a puppy and would like to know what you think of possible names. Feel free to vote in the poll on which one of those names you like best. If you have any other name suggestions feel free to suggest those too!

I had a cat named Henley over 20 years ago. It's a great name for a dog, too !!

Yeah it would seem like Henley would take the prize on this board. When I got my pup 4 1/2 years ago, I struggled to find a name for him. I definitely wanted something Eagles-related and finally decided on Smuggler Blue. In spite of living up to his name, he is a sweetie.

Henley is cute, but then again, I am biased towards the name.

Your favorite movies can inspire good names for pets. My last five dogs were all named for historical figures in the movie, "Tombstone." I had Wyatt, Josephine, Doc, and Daisy (all have crossed over the Rainbow Bridge), and my current dog is Virgil. Ringo is a name in that film, too.

Last, but not least, welcome to the Border! 😎

I used to have a cat named Henley. She was the best cat I ever had but a few months ago a coyote got her. I really miss her so the name Henley for an animal is kinda touchy for me.

I voted for Ringo because it sounds like the most "dog like" name to me.

What kind of pup will you be getting, timothyswife? Henley is a good name. Or would you want something Timothy-related, like Timmy or Woodstock?

That reminds me, I nearly named a stray cat Timothy a few months ago. He disappeared before I had finalized it though! He just 'looked' like a Timothy for some reason. :lol:

Yes, you really need to see the animal and get a vibe for its personality/essence to choose the best name.

Thank you for the warm welcome! I appreciate your feedback, I did figure that most people on here would choose Henley because of Don so it's no surprise that is the name currently winning in the poll.

I like Henley best, although I'm not sure that Don would Lol! My friends husband has a dog called Ringo.

Naturally enough I'm rather partial to the name Henley ;-) Cute and cuddly and drooling all over you ....and I hope the puppy does the same! Lol

I thought the Ringo Kid was John Wayne's character in Stagecoach? But it only has one association for me.:drummer:

I only associate 'Lambeau' with a stadium in Wisconsin - one of the Borderers who lives in the state sent me a postcard of it.

Welcome to the Border.
I have a dog named Herman after Randy's middle name. ;-)
But I think Henley is cute.

That's actually where that name came from. I'm a big time Packers fan and they play at Lambeau Field.

Ha. My son's name is Wyatt for Mr Wyatt Earp. Gotta love those old names. My late dogs name was Odegard Winchester. We now have Herman Remington and Samuel Colt

When we adopted our 'Heinz 57' from the shelter they told us he was a stray that someone had rounded up and brought in. They showed us a picture that was taken of him during his intake and he was dirty and in serious need of some grooming. Bruce and I looked at each other and at the same time said, "Desperado!" We call him 'Des' for short.
