What should I name my dog?

[Dark]

I am getting her tomorrow through a local animal adoption program.

I want something unique and yet cute (Blwuvtienmank would certainly be unique, but not cute)

I was thinking 'Jenny', as in Gemini. But I'm still not sure. Molly, the name the site gave her, sounds kind of good as well.

Here she is, from the site:

[The Night Owl]

1. Jeff (NT)

[Dark]

He's a she. . .

It would be unique, though.

[kanrok]

2. She's adorable

"Molly" fits IMHO. She looks like a Molly.

[Dark]

14. Thank you. I originally was going to adopt another dog, but while

he was still in their care, he bit two people. When I met him and pet him, he didn't seem like he had it in him.

That kind of dog needs the care and expertise I can't provide.

Although, they said it was while they were trying to neuter him. I can see why any dog would get defensive. . .

3. What a sweetheart!

Both names are cute. When we adopted our kitty Morrissey, the HART people had named him "Bode," which we didn't like. What about "Gemini?"

Many years of happiness with your new puppy!

[Dark]

25. Thank you. Gemini was my first idea,

but both sound good to me. She'd easily fit 'Jenny' or 'Mollie'.

5. liberty?

6. Shazamm

[Dark]

8. Only if I can get her to play basketball. Actually,

The last time a basketball player was named Shazam, it was Shaq in that hellspawn movie about a genie.

Ugh. . .I think I'm going to be sick.

[stellanoir]

33. okay

then name her "Stay."

old Steven Wright joke. . ."come here, Stay. . .go fetch, Stay. . ."etc"

[Dark]

39. LOL! n/t

[Old_Fart]

7. "She told me that her name was Mia like in Mia Farrow"

But you can call her Molly. She is a gorgeous dog and she looks very happy. Is she a collie lab mix?

[Dark]

9. They said she's an Austrailian Shepherd and Great Pyrenee's mix.

I definately can see the Shepherd, kind of. But I don't see the Great Pyrenees.

[MissB]

20. The color and the face

strike me as non-Aussie (I've had two in recent years).

Beautiful doggie. Great job on adopting her.

[benny05]

30. I don't see a tail

but her coloring is a bit unusual for an Aussie Shepherd. Beauty of a lass...:hi:

[Old_Fart]

29. "Boy was I wrong"

:dunce:

[benny05]

35. The other breed has to do with her coloring and ears

My spouse and I have 2 Aussies at home. They are sisters from a litter of 2 Aussies. There are bi-colors, but not like that. Often the lighter Aussies are merles (with spots) or the bi-colors are b/w.

The sweet doggie's ears don't look Aussie either. Aussies ears flop, but still not as rounded.

I presume Molly or whatever her name will be has a nice disposition. :-)

[Shoeempress]

10. She's a pretty girl, so how about Joli, french for pretty.

Hope the two of you have many happy years together.

[Dark]

16. I thought about going with a name in another language, but it

didn't seem like it'd fit her well

[OffWithTheirHeads]

11. Name her God

It's dog spelled backwards

[Dark]

19. I have fundamentalist relatives.

There's no way that'd go over well. It'd be three years before I could go to Christmas.

[hickman1937]

12. I've always wanted a dog named Clem.

Or Clyde. This probably doesn't apply here, but it would be a hoot.

[Richardo]

13. What a sweet poopy dawg!!

"Mulligan" - she's getting a second chance!

[bluedonkey]

15. How about

Miss Molly?
She looks cute and dignified and when she does something inappropriate you can say:"Good golly,Miss Molly!"

[Dark]

26. What song is that from?

I know it, it's on the tip of my tongue.

It is a song, right?

[hickman1937]

36. Devil With the Blue Dress On.

Mitch Ryder and the Detroit Wheels

[bluedonkey]

41. No.No

totally different beat.

[hickman1937]

46. Mithc did it too!

Good golly, Miss Molly
You sure like to ball
Good golly, Miss Molly
You sure like to ball
It's late in the evenin'
Don't you hear your mama call

[bluedonkey]

40. Little Richard! n/t

[kikiek]

17. She must know you're coming for her I think she's smiling. Best wishes for

many loving years. I named ours Swedee as a tribute. I like names that mean something to us.

[Richardo]

18. Hey STELLA!!!

Hey, it worked for Brando.

[Dark]

34. I don't think I want that kind of relationship with my dog. . .

;)

[GoddessOfGuinness]

21. How about Gem?

She looks like one...

[Dark]

28. That would be a good nickname for Gemini. n/t

[benny05]

22. Mattie

Good Aussie name. Otherwise, I like Molly, her foster home name.

[livetohike]

23. She's really pretty

Jenny seems to fit :-). I like Gypsy (Ciganka in Slovak pronounced see-gun-kuh) and I almost named my dog Cindy that.

Good for you, adopting a shelter pup.

[MissB]

24. Does she have a name right now?

She doesn't exactly look like a pup. Can you just change her current name a bit?

[Dark]

32. She's one year old. Her previous owners returned her

because they didn't realize how big she'd get.

[ahem]

27. Jemmi

Sort of similar to Jenny, still derived from Gemini, but I think it's a really pretty name.

Congrats on your new family member. She's gorgeous.

[Dark]

31. I know. She's so beautiful.

I'm glad she's spayed, cause I don't want any of the neighborhood dogs knocking on my door for her.

I am NOT staying up late waiting for her to comeback from any dates.

[ahem]

38. Ha! Yeah, that should save you some trouble.

She reminds me of a cross between a dog a used to have and one of my current cats. But the cat just has similar coloring:

He's a Romeo, though. I'm sure he'd try to be her boyfriend despite the spaying and species thing!

[MN ChimpH8R]

37. Cute pup

I'm adopting my new cat tomorrow too.

I agree, she could definitely be a Molly, but if you want to acknowledge her Aussie antecedents, howzabout Sheila. As in "now there's a pretty Sheila, Bruce."

[Dark]

45. If I was twenty-one and drank Fosters, that'd be a great choice.

[lastknowngood]

42. She looks like a Cindy to me

[Elidor]

43. Stay

[Tikki]

44. Sadie was a popular name for traveling dogs...

...during the 1960s.

[marzipanni]

47. My husband says,"that's Lucy"

I said ,"Gussie", short for "Augusta" since that's when you met(?)
She's a lovely doggie-girl!

48. Bijou

French for jewel.
