Names are Hard...


, originally uploaded by manymuddypaws.
I am really not very good at naming. At this rate she'll be stuck with the name she came with....


Things she learned today
-Sit means Sit
-Down means Down
-Okay is a release
-Also chasing Wicca is a bad idea.


Things I learned about her today
-That she Woo Woo Woo's when she plays with you
-That she likes very physical play (pushing)
-That she needs a halti
-Oh, and that hotdogs are the best thing ever...

It's not that your not good at names, your just very particular :)

What is the name she came with?

Best Border Collie name I know of is Possum, and if you met the dog, you would know why it fits so perfect.

You should put together some options and have a vote.

My name suggestion is Jules. Just off the pictures

I'd name her Five ;)

Finding the right name can be hard.

I once fostered a Strikingly beautiful deaf Aussie puppy with a lot of white and ice blue eyes. He didn't have a name and when I described him as being a "Striker", the name stuck. His family kept the name and he's as striking now as he was then.

We came up with
Phantom, Harlequin (Harley), and Domino.
Her markings are so Striking!
Good luck, I'm sure you'll figure out her real name soon.

"Breezy" keeps popping into my head.

The first thing I though of was Harley for Harlequin and then I saw that "anonymous" had the same idea! Not that her markings aren't striking or anything!

I really like Harley/Harlequin and Five!

I think naming is one of the hardest parts of getting a new dog! I can't wait to hear what you pick.

I love her! WTG, Amanda. I had the same agonizing time finding a name for Kestrel. I agonize about names. Your dogs have great names. It'll come. Right now, I'd call her "gorgeous"! LOL!

Five is cute.
I also like:

- Skee (as in Skedaddle) :)
- Spec
- Imp
- Ruse

I came up with Phantom and Harlequin too! she's a doll!

I vote for Chiaroscuro. You could call her Chia for short, and everyone would think you meant ChiaPet...

my first idea was "Harley". My own dog is Claire, and I knew that was her name from the start.

"Brigid" and "Maggie"come to mind.
Whatever her name, she's a beauty!
