Dog Names

Woke up this morning with a brain wave of names for my next dog...

I reckon dogs don't come as individuals anyway, they come in packs. Therefore, they need pack names in the variation of a theme.

Colours are popular:

• Blue
• Gray/Grey
• Pink
• Scarlet
• Maroon
• Blanc
• Matt
• Noir
• Hazel
• Cream
• Mint

Pairs:

• Bonnie & Clyde
• Mills & Boon
• Heckler & Koch (probably good names for Dobermans)
• Ernst & Young (maybe Ernie...)

Food:

• Cookie
• Butter
• Peanut
• Almond
• Dough
• Sugar
• Candy
• Honey
• Carrot (Had a dream I had a Westie called Carrot which made everyone laugh)
• Cabbage (I have spoken to a real person whose name is Cabbage. Found it hard to keep a straight face.)
• Peach
• Apple
• Cheese
• Toast

Miscellaneous Items and Brand Names (I can never tell which):

• Mac
• Milo
• Horlicks
• Nokia
• Sony / Sonnie
• Heinz

Numbers, popular ones being:

• Three
• Seven
• Eleven
• Five

Positive Emotions:

• Jolly
• Happy
• Cheery
• Smiley
• Naughty

Culturally Aligned:

For Westies and Scotties

• Macduff
• Macbeth
• Tartan
• Mac (just Mac)
• Douglas
• Doug

I did say that I won't be getting another dog until I can figure out what their names are. That was the case with Beanie, but Beanie's rather an individual dog name, and I had trouble pairing it with anything else. I have to say that just for laughs, Toast is quite high up on my list. I'm also rather keen on Muppet but fear that the name would create a self-fulfilling prophesy.

If you have suggestions (and they don't even have to be good) drop me a comment to let me know. I'm hopeless at names.

Otherwise I just might go with Toast, Muppet or the first name of the Maroon 5 lead vocal.
