Female dog names

[Augie]

About 72 hours ago our next “best friend” was born. She will be the companion to our current 11 year old Golden Retriever named Gracie. She’s coming from the same amazing breeder, and we get first pick of the females. 

 

My wife was going thru names and saw Buffy, thinking it might be meaningful and “Bills” related. Love the thought, but nope, NOT having a Buffy. I threw out Kelly, she didn’t bite. Wondering if anyone has some Bills related suggestions for a female Golden.

 

Prior to the Bills connection idea, we were tentatively thinking Lexi, Chloe or Scout (her mother’s name, and last trip to NYC with her we saw To Kill a Mockingbird and had the best night in a LONG time!).  

 

Thoughts? 

 

I have one Bills related name I’m saving, curious to see if anyone hits on it.

My middle school lacrosse coach had a female Golden that he would bring to practice every day.  He would play fetch with her the entire time while running practice.  Her name was Hannah.  Loved that dog.

I’ve had a Maddie and a Zoe

We have friends with a Zoe up the road, and we thought about that. Nice name. 

 

The first choice for our current Gracie was Bailey, but to my wife Bailey meant the little red headed girl with pig tails who threw up in her mom’s car when she was little. They could never get the smell out, and ended up selling the car for whatever they could get!  (That story always makes me think of the Seinfeld BO car episode!)

Elberta or Dubs...

We got a rescue a few months ago. We liked the name the rescue gave him, so kept it. However, after having him for a few days and seeing how he acted and his personality, we would have named him something totally different (I didn’t want to confuse him by starting again). Maybe consider waiting until you bring her home and see if a name lends itself to her personality?

Uh....B word?

Kimmi would be pretty cute?

That holding off has been suggested by friends. I’d like to have a short list, and a Billsy kind of name just came up as a thought tonight.

Don’t make me make @Gugny report you!!! 

[BuffaloBud]

Can’t give you any help on name, but I had female lab named Texanna - Tex for short.

 

Marv ?

Chloe was my baby girl's name.

 

I'm a big fan of human names that aren't used for pets.  Chloe is a pretty common pet name.

 

Kim would be a fun name.

One former Bill I love is growing on me, but hard to give a clue without totally giving it up. I’ll keep looking for new and better ideas. She’ll be my last “best friend” most likely. I want to get it right!

"Biscuit?"

That's what I was thinking too - Biscuit.

Good one! Thought about it, but the wife’s cousin lives nearby with a Biscuit, and it’s a small dog. Some names fit smaller dogs in my mind. That’s why CoCo got tossed. 

 

I doubt anyone will get the name I’m thinking, which means special kudos to anyone who gets it. I’ll leave clues as we move along.

Not golden wheels? I posted Elberta and Dubs... hmm

The wife brought up the idea of Bills related names, but when I threw out Kelly she didn’t bite. The guy I’m thinking of did play with Kelly, however.

I currently have a Zoey & a Penny. Had a Maggy and a Daisy.

You could go with Peggy and call her Pegs for short. Or Jessy/Jessica.
