Hi All,
It's Morgan in customer service again. I'm about to get my first dog, and I'm having a really hard time coming up with a name I like. I've looked through all the web sites with dog names, and I've even enlisted the help of my coworkers here at the office. Now I think it's time for the public to get in on the action.
So here's the skinny- this is a male Chihuahua puppy. I fully understand and embrace the Chihuahuas' Mexican heritage, but I'd like to shy away from names that will evoke thoughts of the Taco Bell dog.
Here he is, in all his glory-
My future Chihuahua is arriving in about a week, so please comment with your ideas. I appreciate it!
Please limit your comments here to dog names only. If you have a complaint or concern about the site, please post them to the blog entitled "Flash Comic Viewer."
Morgan
Nipper!

It's gotta be Poncho. He even looks like him.

I agree with ANDY, in honor of the great little pooch from Paul Gilligan's "Pooch Cafe" you should name him Poncho. Just hope he doesn't give you near the grief that the cartoon character creates!!!

Well naming one's dog is best done after one sees it. It isn't like naming a child exactly. My suggestion for the adorable 'perrito' ('little dog' in Spanish) would be Fido. I can't have a dog but if I could I'd name it Fido, or rather the esoteric 'Phideaux--just in case you run into any 'dog snobs' along the way. They'll be really impressed. Enjoy your little Peri.

Fido? Seriously? Show some creativity.
Posted by: gwm | June 24, 2006 at 03:49 PM
Hey GWM, lay off man. Fido is a classic name.

I don't know why, but he looks very much like Hydro to me...
Then again, he could be something like Windmill, Spin or Coffee. But I just like unusual names... :>
Our dog is called Spinning Top and it grew to it's name.

You should call him el chupacabra

This is what I have read:
C [said: Sea] is a favorable sound
easily heard by dogs
the sound of "S" is Negative
it is too like the hiss of a snake.
Make a list of words you won't mind yelling in public
speak those to your dog and watch for the smile
It took me a while with one of ours
the name that finally made her smile was "Sherrie"
One more thing, there is a 'vibratory rate' for each letter
if you want to know the "color of the name" you do chose
I will write it out for you, just ask: annette143@myway.com
example:
S = success and attainment it is represented as 21
E = Law / Religion it's number is 5
A = the Will / Dexterity it is number 1
added they make 27 2+7 = 9 as the key
*taken from The Sacred Tarot by C.C.Zain
things associated with the number 9:
the sign Aquarius, lighter blue, blue saphire
it's deeper meaning is Wisdom / Prudence / Circumspection
* more on the influence of changing the name in the book

Go ... Go sounds like a great name for a dog ... "Go have food?" "Go fetch my slippers" "Go poop outside..."

ps. haha is not my e-mail address.

Go with something clasical, old school, like "Mugsy"

"My future Chihuahua is arriving in about a week, so please comment with your ideas. I appreciate it!"
Is it arriving in installments or all together?

How about Flash? ;)
Posted by: Nick | June 27, 2006 at 12:19 AM
Oh please, Flash is the only logical choice.
I offer this rule for naming your dog (cat, child, whatever)...
Go to the back door.
Open door.
Scream name out back door at least five times.
If it sounds goofy, consider other names.

I think Cisco (as in 'The Cisco Kid') or based on the background of the picture, maybe Chef.
Posted by: Yugo | June 29, 2006 at 07:59 AM
weird. I was thinking Cisco at one point.
Posted by: angie | June 29, 2006 at 11:49 AM
I say you name him Salt N. Pepper. He is colored just like salt and pepper. That or Poncho. Seriously, looks just like him.

Will all your friends and neighbors have to watch a Flash animation before they can pet your dog?
