What's in a name?

Foggy Nelson shared a photo. January 9th

Any name suggestions? Before you ask YES she was one of the shelter dogs in the Recolle 99th Precinct calendar.

haha cute! i cant believe you bought the calendar. who was the cop on the page? name her after them!

[devilsadvocato]

Heck yeah I bought the calendar! Purely for the cuteness factor. The animals were pretty cute too.

Jokes aside I'm friends with the guy who posed with her so as clever as your suggestion is I think that would lead to confusion.

[buncho]

they can be ___jr! but looking below, i also like poptarty

[devilsadvocato]

Cute. Charming. Makes more sense if he was the one who adopted the puppy. Would it be weird to name a girl dog a guy's name?

My lone complaint about Poptarty is that it sounds like something else like, "Pop is tardy. He threw out his back gardening." Okay that and also it's not fair to the baked goods and pastries that I love so much.

There are so many names to give a new puppy. Name her after food: Mango or Poptart.

Though she does look like a Abby or a Sophie. Her name should definitely end in a -ie or -y sound.

[devilsadvocato]

So Poptarty is a go.

[blondferret]

I will mock you if you name her Poptarty. Give her a decent name mate.

I vote for Cleopatra! She has the Egyptian makeup for eyes look to her.

[devilsadvocato]

You're right! This little girl has major eye liner game! She'd make some of my students envious. Makeup always on point.

[drizzle]

Isn't it? She really has enviable eyes! What I wouldn't give to have such natural beauty. Not to mention she has the gold thing going for her; it's very Egyptian-looking, right?

If anything else, we could always have her adopt the name Cleo if it's too long or pretentious.

Potato.

[devilsadvocato]

Funny. Fun to say. I hesitate to say she's the right brown to match a spud but not a bad suggestion.
I think my cousin will judge me forever if I choose Potato but she's my dog.

[odasaku]

She looks soft. Reminds me of mashed potatoes, but the name is too long.

[anguinous]

Belle.

[It's easy to say or shout, and true. She's a very pretty puppy. ]

[devilsadvocato]

That has always been a pretty name in my opinion. No pun intended.

[anguinous]

Fitting for your small friend, in that respect.

[prometheanflame]

What a beautiful dog.

My suggestion is to name her after one of your favorite music artist. Preferably from the last century so it's not confusing.

[devilsadvocato]

Right? I may have posted the photo in part just to show her off.

I hadn't thought of that. You know I'm not sure I've met anyone who named their dog after a musician they like. The only example that comes to mind is Marley from that book/movie Marley and Me. Do you own any pets named after music artists?

[prometheanflame]

Yes.

Four budgies.

I could include my dog, but I don't know the intention of Iggy's previous owner.

[frisyr]

Name her Semla!! Because she's so cute

[devilsadvocato]

Semla? Does that mean "cute?"

[frisyr]

No, it's a pastry! With whipped cream and marzipan!

[reaquila]

How about Sandy? She's got a color that reminds me of sandy beaches.

[It makes perfect sense to him, but what does he know about naming dogs?]

[devilsadvocato]

That's a good one! Easy to remember and it matches her looks. I think my top three are now Sandy, Belle, and Cleopatra.

[reaquila]

They all sound good to me.

By the way, I'm really glad you helped the dog out. That was nice of you.
