So my Standard Poodle had a litter of eight Goldendoodle pups, now three weeks old, and naturally I’ve been having so much fun naming them! But also a little overwhelmed because 8 is a lot of puppies to name and I have more experience naming kittens vs puppies…! Another reason I’m struggling naming is becoming apparently I don’t like ‘dog names’, things like Bolt, Max, Coco- they just don’t appeal to me idkw (btw the mama is Aurora & my other dog is Luna; I also have a cat Augusta). I would love some feedback and suggestions on the names I’ve chosen so far! And if you met a dog with any of these names would you think they were cute or…weird?

The four names I AM really and totally in love with (the first two were chosen within day one):
#1 Ferdinand nn Ferdy- he’s the largest of the litter and a gentle giant (yes, like the bull), it simply IS his name!
#2 Leopold- he’s the palest of the litter, cream while the rest are gold-red, and I think it brings out his elegant Poodle side lol. It is a bit ‘much’ for a dog but he pulls it off well ;)
#3 Francine nn Frankie- Ok, this one is VERY much inline with my love for ‘grandma’ names, but it randomly came to me and I swear she is the Frankiest Frankie ever!
#4 Clementine nn Clemmy- I settled on this name only yesterday, it was perfect for her! She’s the reddest one & full of attitude- growling is her favorite hobby :D

The others I’ve chosen but am not 100% sold on:
#5 Hank or Percival nn Percy- which do you think is better?
#6 Gilbert- lol I won’t be surprised if nobody likes this one, I’m not even sure if I do, that’s why I need help!
#7 Wilfred- this one I think is really cute
#8 Lemon- the last (and 3rd) girl, she’s the second palest puppy, yellowish cream, and very sweet, but do you think Lemon is a good dog name? I can’t decide.

Anyway, thanks for reading all that and thanks in advance for any advice!!
