Help[Opinions] Re: Help! 8 Goldendoodle pups!
in reply to a message by honeyberry04
Cute! I love these names!
I think Percy is better than Hank. Both are very cute though, I see the dilemma. But personally speaking, I love having a pet name that ends in a vowel. If his name was Hank I'd call him "Hankie" which is not as cute as Percy.
I love Gilbert for a dog, are you kidding? Gilby! Bertie! Gilly! All great choices.
Wilfred is adorable.
Lemon is nice... but next to her siblings it feels a little random. Everyone else has such stately people names and then there's poor little Lemon. Since "lemon" is also a term for something that is no good or defective, I'd pick something else. I know it doesn't matter, they are dogs, but still. What about...
Adelaide? That name always makes me think of lemons (in a good way).
Gladys
Lulu (like Lulu Lemon)
Lillian "Lillie"
Mimi
Or if you want to use a non-human name, maybe something with nicer connotations, like
Daffodil
Buttercup
Shortbread
Meringue

Ooh I hadn’t thought of using Gilby & Gilly as nn for Gilbert, I love that! And now that I’m thinking about it, Gibbs would be a a cute nn too!
I think you just figured out why I don’t like Lemon, it’s quite different compared to her siblings- I like your suggestion of Lulu (it could honor her ‘Auntie’ Luna!) but I would like a longer form…Louise maybe?
Thanks so much!!

Dessert names are funny for dogs. Eclair or Tiramisu might work.
