Wanted: suggestions for a puppy name

our little darling with her 6 black and white litter mates
That act­ive two week old blue merle bor­der col­lie puppy (top right) clam­ber­ing over her sleep­ing black and white broth­ers and sis­ters will be ours in four or so weeks time. At the moment we are stumped for a name and are hop­ing for suggestions.

If you want to know what she will look like when she grows up here is a pic­ture of mum.
our little darlings mother

Expect more pic­tures over the com­ing weeks/months/years though she might even have her own blog.

    I’ll try not to melt com­pletely here. I have a huge weak­ness for bor­der col­lies :) We had two purebred bor­der col­lies (sadly no longer with us, after long and very happy lives) and they were just the most won­der­ful dogs.

    You could call her The Grey Ghost ;) Homage to The Dog’s alter ego in footrot flats. Actu­ally it’s hard to sug­gest any­thing without meet­ing the pup, if you know what I mean.

    Bor­der col­lies should have short, dis­tinct names. The Bor­der Col­lie Museum site lists some of the earli­est recor­ded BC names, you’ll get plenty of ideas there.

    Ours are called Meg and Tess. :O)

    OH.. I wish I was able to take care of a Bor­der Col­lie. I raised mine (half col­lie, half retriever — body of a retriever, mind of a col­lie) for about a year, and I must say the attach­ment is unspeak­able. At the time, I was liv­ing with my fam­ily — now liv­ing in a new city and swamped with work hardly makes it pos­sible for me to take care of him.

    How about some pic­ture eh? http://www.csarven.ca/gallery/bender

    I named him ‘Bender’ (from Futurama) because of his quirkiness.

    I per­son­ally like fic­tit­ous names. How about Zapp http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zapp_Brannigan?

    oh how cute i had a bor­der col­lie female and i just luved her but unfor­tu­natly she passed away well if you are con­sid­er­ing on train­ing her the best name would only have one sylable like jake or peach or blue just so it will be easyer for her to know her name well since its a girl i would name her sassy or some­thing cute but its your dog and by the time it becomes to the piont wear it could walk you would have the exspeiri­ance of its personality
