Title: The name game
Post by: Wingin it on June 19, 2016, 08:25:15 AM: Well, the time has come and I am going to be picking up my new pup in about a month. She is a GSP and I am looking for ideas for her name. Fire away!

Post by: Wingin it on June 19, 2016, 10:48:28 AM: Also, I would like to keep the name short (1 syllable) or be able to shorten it. For example, my last dog was Lexie, Lex for short. Thanks!

Cedar...just so happens we met up in North bend...pick our dog out of two...realized after driving away...we made our choice under a Cedar tree...it all comes together...just make sure it is something you want to hear for a very long time. Have fun and congrats.

Post by: Wingin it on June 25, 2016, 10:23:19 AM: Ironically, I have Zoe on the list. Also Scout, Taz, Cash, Jett, and Gauge. I really like the name Sage but one of hunting buddies already has a dog by that name. Still taking ideas though as nothing is set in stone. I likely won't actually name her until I have her for awhile and then which name from the list is most fitting.
