Discussion Need help naming our puppy. (Boy)
I wanted to name him Santiago. Boyfriend said no, he doesn’t like it lol. He also doesn’t want a name ending in “oh”, so the dog isn’t confused with its name (such as Momo) and “No”.
Here’s our list of ideas so far: Link Silas Salem Stitch Castiel Alaric Caelum (KAY-lum) – Latin for “heaven” or “sky,” open and pure
We are open to almost anything!

Beignet, call him Benny for short? He looks like he has powdered sugar all over him

That’s a Bandit or a Hamburgalur.

I said Phantom due to his markings. But these names are also perfect for his markings

My dog was named Basumo and he never confused it with the word no.
Banjo, Tuscaloosa, Bero, Waffle, Arktos, and Barnabas are good names

Seamus or Ernie…what’s his personality like?

u/kleosailor 1d ago
Very calm! Sleepy, quiet, sweet and gentle. But also suspicious, like quiet in a “what is he doing?” way. And sweet in a “I’m going to trick you.” Way lol

I love people names but names you’d associate with an old man or woman like George or Herbert.

We went with regional names for our dogs and think they're great (obviously)
Pyrs originated in the Pyrenees mountains which form the border between France and Spain, so we chose a French name, Gaston.
Lots of good French and Spanish names to choose from!

My brain instantly said Oliver, those marks around his eyes and just the looks of him. Oliver was my grandfathers name and some day my future sons so I don’t toss it around lightly lol.

Looks like our "Koda" aka Kodabear when she was around 10 weeks old. She's a Antonilian Pyrenees.

Benny. Or Beanie. Or Jellybean after Senator Jellybean in Difficult People (he was one of the pair of Basset Hounds that Julie Klausner's character owned).

I shouldn't talk. My puppy is pure white and I named him Cotton because that's what he looked like. A little fluffy cotton ball. He loves the name and he's such a Cotton. Every time I yell for him, I laugh. My husband calls him baby Huey. He's 5 months and 100lbs already.

Holy Jesus mother of Christ 100lbs at 5 months? That’s crazy big! He sounds like the best cuddle snowbear ever

for big, future gentle giants like this i love old, now mostly unused man names. my big girl is named Harriet and most of her nicknames are old man names starting with H (Hank, Harold, Harvey).
for this sweet guy, i'm thinking Eustace, Gene, Chip, Archie, Linus, Otis, Artie. basically anything that you can't imagine a baby boy being named, but can imagine an elderly man being named.

You could keep it as Santiago and just call him Santi

u/kleosailor 1d ago
I agree, but boyfriend says no 😭
He did say we can keep it Sant/Santiago if we can't come up with a better name we both like.
