Help me name my new Standard Poodle puppy

[Judy]

Not really, but it's good to start using their name right away if you want them to start learning recall. I used hand signals with my older Poodles as well as voice commands. That's been very helpful as they've lost hearing as they age. Plus, I'll get him microchipped and want the company to have the information. We start puppy kindergarten two weeks after I get him and he should know his name by that point if you've said it about 75 times.

You can always tell when their name clicks in .. 10 days - 2 weeks. I never remember the time exactly except that it’s pretty fast lol.

It's so much fun to think about naming a new pet. You may just realize the right name when you meet him.

One of our town’s police dogs is named Axle (not Axel).

It's possible Axel's name is also spelled Axle but I thought Axel was a boy's name and Axle was that thing that keeps the wheels on.

Then there is Axl Rose

KWAN.

I would suggest the Wagnerian Loge if there were too many Loki's around, but it would be mis-pronounced a lot if they're reading it from paper.

Then there is Axl Rose

Not long ago, I yelled at my malamute because he was screaming in his pen and... it was actually Axl Rose on Spotify

 

[PRlady]

My brother in law had a cat named Axl. The cat deserved the name, too.

When I lived in hospital housing, one of my neighbors named Lamb had a back standard poodle named Lambchop! I loved it. He was a very timid dog despite his size. I guess you may have to observe his personality first.

 

[Matryeshka]

I voted for Nyx. Poodles are very regal, and Nyx was one of the first goddesses. And she's a goddess of the night, which is a perfect for a black poodle. It's short, sweet, and also a Mardi Gras parade!

Plus Loki really is the Jason of names, and at a dog show, you might run into the same problem. I know six Lokis. Four cats, two dogs.

 

[cygnus]

Clearly, the choice is Loki

Half my friends that have dogs (or cats) have named them Loki. It's super popular among some demographics.

 

[Sparks]

Okay. Milo (another trendy name)

 

[floridaice]

A prancing fluffy Poodle named Viper does have a certain cachet.

That's it! PRANCER @Prancer will be so honored you named him after her.

 

[PRlady]

If you want to go dark and mythological, Hades is an option.

 

[Simone411]

How about Coco. It's of French origin and can be a boy or a girl name. It's also one of my favorite perfumes by Chanel.

 

[MacMadame]

That's it! PRANCER @Prancer will be so honored you named him after her.

And you could do Prancercise together! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o-50GjySwew

My new puppy will be here in 5 weeks. I can't decide on a name. He's a black/cream phantom Standard Poodle. Here's what I've considered. Help me decide!

I'm partial to Bo.

 

[Dragonlady]

Don't keep us in suspense! Have you decided!!!!

Enquiring minds want to know!

Not yet. I still have 3 weeks.

I still vote for Oreo! Or Zorro!

Yeah I know - big fat No

 

[Sparks]

Zorro! Do it for Adrian Diaz

 

[Simone411]

One of my BFF's named her poodle Poop-eh (pronounced Poop-ay). She calls him Poopsie!

I have no idea if she named her poodle from this, but she told me that Poop-eh poops a lot.

Actually his markings look kind of like a z across his chest.

 

[Sparks]

Adrian approves

 

[Sparks]

One of the reasons I named my dog, Diego is because that was Zorro's government name

 

[BYTCH]

I voted for Anubis, Egyptian gods are always in style

I've narrowed the name down to either Luka or Loki. Both fit the criteria of two syllables, starts with a hard consonant and ends with a vowel. Thanks for all the input. I'll pick him up in two weeks! Then it's a year of lots of work, but after that, it's just keeping him tired out as SPOOs do have a lot of energy. My other two were never really interested in retrieving, although that was the original breed intent. Hopefully this one will be as that's an easy way to keep them moving. Or I'll have to do what I did with Bella and get him a buddy to play with.

 

[Sylvia]

I like Luka!

 

[Vagabond]

Luka sounds like an ice dancer. Loki does not. Enough said.

If SPOOS were skaters, they'd probably be ice dancers because they do like to prance.
