Help me name my new Standard Poodle puppy

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

Bo loved to go bike riding with me at the park. He basically heeled to my bike. That was the only way I could give him enough exercise before my knee surgery.

Another vote for Luka!

I love Luka. I know too many dogs names Loki, including a couple of crazy ones.

The breeder of my female Poodle had 4 wheelers they'd race around their property with a whole pack of poodles in wild pursuit. They'd do it at least 20 minutes every day when the dogs were young.

Between Luka and Loki, I vote for Luka. Because of the movies, I think Loki is just too popular a name. If you were at a dog park and called out "Loki!" more than one dog would think you were calling them.

Interesting. I read a dog trainer's blog today that said you should rarely call your dog's name and that is only to get their attention and give them an immediate command. If you don't give a command, the dog learns to just ignore you.

I tried to take him out twice a day, weather permitting. Since it was summer months, it would be morning and evening, not during the heat of the day.

What about the movie Luca?

What about the movie Luca?

I don't know that movie. But the Marvel movies are huge, right? I haven't seen one but based on box office numbers and social media memes, I think they've done pretty well.

It's a Pixar coming-of-age movie about two sea monster boys. It's one of my favorites and not just because there is "triathlon" in it.

When I see the name Luca, all I can think about is that song about the abused girl [eta: I guess Luka was a boy]. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Luka_(song)

Then again, I'm getting old...

There is Luca Lanotte, and that handsome doctor on ER named Luca (who kind of looked like Ingo Steuer)

I remember that song. I haven't heard it in a long time. I just listened to it on YouTube.

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!

What did you name your pup? I dogs.

Beau. It should have been Kraken.

I love the name Beau. I’m assuming some puppy terrorism shenanigans have happened lol.

As a skating fan...you wouldn't be one of the lemmings if you chose Lutz, Rocker, Twizzle, or Killian.

We had an exchange student from Iceland live with us for a while when I was in high school. Thor.
I wonder if folks in Iceland name their dogs after folktale creatures from other lands -- Here, Bigfoot! Get off that couch,Pandora!
