Dog name suggestions

[Bulls Beers]

I'm thinking on getting a dog and as the title says, I'm looking for name suggestions for dog. I'm sure we can come up with something.

 

[ChefRex]

You could ask him what it is, just sayin

 

[k1ngl1ves]

Deeogee

 

[Yooper]

Barley
Lager
Cascade
Simcoe
Fuggles
India
Goldy (for Goldings)
Trubby


I wanted to name my dog Barley soooooo bad, but it was when "Marley and Me" was out as a movie and it sounded like a sad rip-off of Marley. Plus, my kids were still living at home and thought it was "stupid". Which really is reason is enough for me to want to do it.

That could work for a male or female..

See, this is what I'm looking for. Homebrewing related names. Thanks Yooper!!
Not that it really matters, but I'm looking to get a bigger dog, than a little dog. My son likes Barley. I'm looking at either a Lab or a German Sheppard.

Before you pick a name, you need to find a dog. Breed can greatly influence a name.


For instance, I don't think anyone would consider naming an English Bulldog Heinrich or Himmler. Lol!



Edit: Ahh... You updated! Still... Pick a dog first. Watch it for a day. Then pick a name...

 

[ChefRex]

Mine actually changes hour to hour, I don't think he knows the difference

I'm sure that will happen, but it's fun to hear everybody's suggestions. My last few dog names were, Sydney, Jumper and Brandy. Not a fan of Brandy. Sydney was such a great dog...

I like Barley. I suggested my mother in law name her kittens Barley and Hops and she actually did it, though it's a much better dog name IMO. Porter is another one with potential. Of course if you adopt they may come with a name like mine did. Otherwise she was going to be Ripley - greatest female sci-fi character EVER!

 

[Rhumbline]

What do you call a dog with no legs?

It don't matter, he won't come anyway.

I'll be here all week, try the veal.

 

[soccerdad]

Trubby

Ding, ding, ding. WINNER.

Our dog was originally (and officially) Brewski. He has become Bruce. He likes it. We like it.

I love Porter for a black lab!

I think my dog looks like a Barley- a big goofy yellow lab. But I don't think it would fit so well for a German Shepherd- they need something more "dignified" I think.

here's Toby (who should have been Barley), in case you were wondering:

Or a chocolate! I agree, that totally looks like a Barley right there. For Trubby I'm picturing an obese bulldog.

 

[Bulls Beers]

I'm drinking an Augustiner right now. One of my favorite beers, but I can't work in that one. It would also be hard to call my dog Weihenstephaner.

 

[TeamAshBrewing]

I had a dog in the mid 90's called Barley. It is a great name for a dog.

GSD should have a German name imo. that's why when i get one in the future, i will name him Hans.

Gus?

 

[ChefRex]

I'm drinking an Augustiner right now. call my dog Weihenstephaner.

Auggy Doggy

 

[Bulls Beers]

My son also likes Brutus. I'm sure it will come to us when we get him or her.

 

[Bulls Beers]

Auggy Doggy

Yeah, I thought about Auggy or Augustus. Maybe Hally for Hallertau. I use these hops the most.

 

[Rhumbline]

True story,

A buddy had a dog with three legs... Called him yardstick.

 

[cooldood]

if it is a German Shepherd why not Dunkel?

I was going to say Dinkelbier but that would probably just turn into bingleberry.

 

[Alpotun]

Had a Dachshund named Shuster. Probably a science experiment by now.

 

[Kwitty]

Why not Pilsen / Pilsner for a German Shepherd? Call him Pils for short!

 

[slym2none]

Sgt. Malt
Cascade (can call them Cassie for short)
Wort
Scorch
AyBeeVee
Pils

...that's all I got...

 

[hunter_le five]

I spent a long time trying to come up with a name for mine, but in the end, I almost always just called it *******.

GSD vs Lab is quite a different style of dog...
I love our Keeshond, but we also take care of my father-in-laws lab a lot and he's one of the calmest, sweetest dogs i know.

Yes, that's true. I think we'll always have labs.

Toby is my fourth one. He gets along with absolutely everybody, man or beast. The grandkids tell him to "stay", and he's so submission he does. Nothing funnier than a 90 pound dog waiting for a 2-year-old to give him a command!

People come over with dogs, or cats, or kids, or just about anything, and he is absolutely calm and happy to see them. I would worry with other dogs, for sure. The mail lady is happy to see him, and he sits in my open Jeep greeting shoppers at the store. Kids, dogs, hamsters, cats, whatever- he wags his tail.

he's definitely NO watchdog though! He doesn't even bark at people. He wags his tail at everyone. If you want a watchdog, a lab probably won't do except their size could be intimidating. A German shepherd is much scarier and more protective, if that is your goal.

Bowser. Name all of your dogs Bowser.

Here's why.

I wanted to name our rottweiler Rex Begonia or Iron Starfish (you should see his feet) but got overruled. He is now called Sammich.

 

[saazall]

Chugger
Pliny
Kohatu
Grist
Rahr

Still like Bowser

2-Row

Deeogee

Good thing he doesn't need advice for naming his hippopotamus or pterodactyl.

"C'mere acheyepeepeeohpeeohteeayeemyouess!! Dinner!"

 

[FloppyKnockers]

I've always liked human names for dogs. I've had dogs named Steven, David, Bruce, and Margeaux.

 

[Hello]

Chuggar is great for a larger dog.
