Gun Dog Forum

Everyone knows its not easy picking out names for a birddog. Some of them just come to you, and sometimes it requires alot of thought. Every litter we have it gets harder to name pups. I am pretty particular about names, so just some generic name thrown out will not do. They're birddogs afterall! I can't go naming them "fluffy" or "precious" :roll:

I've already named the 2 males in my litter. "Trigger" and "Pistol" - My wife named one of the 4 females "Birdy"

How about everyone comes up with 10 of your best birddog names? Half & half. 5 male names, 5 female. I'll review the posts on Friday evening @ 7pm CST and whoever my lovely wife & I deem has highest number of GREAT names (out of 10) will be the winner and I will send them a "Flippy Flopper - Flying Disc For Dogs" for your trouble. I'll even let the winner choose the color.

for males..Ruger, Gage, Gunner, Sarge, Ammo

for females..Rya, Sage, Bell, Rain, Scout.......ruth

Male - Otter, Schmidty, Porter, Murphy, Howie

Female - Kona, Gin, Dakota, Quack, Reef

If you're looking for over used names............

Berretta, Ruger, Hans, Gretchen, Blue........etc........

If you prefer unique names, then I'd offer up:

Kruzen, Spec, Josie, Cowboy............. you know- ones that you haven't heard 100 times.

Rob

males: Carson, Josh, Gauge, Timber, Reload

Females: Sage, Abbey, Meg, Emmie, Tessa

males- Petey, Ace, Puck, Buckshot and Max

females-Fawn, Poppy, Penny, Ruby, and Hanna

Good topic, always love coming up with a name for a new dog. Actually I'm kind of stumped on the latest one.
I've been keeping a list of names and it's growing slowly, but there is a lot to look through and you can submit your dog's name. http://www.gundognames.com/

Here's mine...

Males: Cooper, Cowboy, Otis, Spooner, Rooster
Females: Lola

I named the pups in the last litter, some were of coarse changed by their new owners...

Males: Zeke, Otis, Elvis
Females: Lulu, Belle

lol i was thinking about starting a thread like this. I'm trying to decide what to name my dog.....and its not even been born yet!

Male: Ace, Gauge, hank, Smokey,

Female: Molly, Daisy,

Theme names, one each:

Bravo and Delta
Memphis and Shiloh
Hemi and Cuda
Guido and Stella
Bubba and Sis

Males: Rooster (but not so good if he's a pheasant dog LOL), Torch, The Peacemaker (Colt), The Gunsmith (gunner), Flintlock (Flint), Flapjack

Females: Derringer (Derrie), Belle, Pepperbox (pepper), Daisy, Cricket

Males: Diesel, Torq
Females: Cammi (camshaft), Libby (Liberty), Annie

Try and use the names from the characters in your favorite TV show or Movie. Maybe names from your favorite sports team like Adrian , Greenway, Brett, Percy. Just don't use names like Rogers ,Driver, Grant, Mathews

Good stuff so far! I was suprised to see how many posts there was this morning!

GreyDawg is on the right track. Although a "classic" name is good, I prefer some "Uniqueness" mixed in. For example my dogs are named

Cy -male
Clyde- male
Sooner- male
Tabasco- male

Sam- female
Jenny- female
Kacey- female

Good Stuff, keep em rollin in. Don't be afraid to go back and edit your list if you think of something good.

How about the short simple name of "Duke" once register a dog as Duke of Big Horn.

Bedlam- Bedlam Series
Boz- Self Explanatory
Boomer- Boomer Sooner
Switzer- self explanatory
Rider- OU Sooners were actually called the Rough Riders before they got the name Sooners in 1908

Would you do us a favor and give us a report on self-fulfilling prophesy, please?

Adrian, that way you can walk down the field yelling "Yo Adrian"
If he's a really hard-headed SOB, I'd call him EZZY.
