After 20 years of marriage and my resisting, SWMBO is on the verge of getting a seven-month old male yellow Labrador, against my better judgement. Told her no way am I picking up it's warm deposits! (Also told her we're getting a new car......)

Not particularly liking his current name (Herbie), looking for suggestions please?

We're on Bracken, Morton, Hadley, Hobnob, Hashtag, Nacho, Brodie, Barley, Acorn, Kipling - any votes for these? (Or not).

Thanks chaps.

all seem good , but i'm sure the other half will decide

Bastado?

You mean the woman in "The Champions", Walter? Maybe not.

But we did consider having to call the dog on the local beach.... "Lookout!", "Watchit!" or even, "Shark!"

Close, but no cigar.

I always thought if I had a dog I would call it "sit"

Or, "Fetch!"

Fetch, would not work.....................

Fetch, come here. So he would.

Sit, come here. So he stays where he is, as he has just been told to sit.

Missus likes "Biscuit". Said, call that on Freshwater East at 8am & you'll get 20 dogs come running.......

Call it 5 miles

Then you can say you walk 5 miles twice a day

OK I’ll get me coat!

How about Fenton

Nice, unfortunately that's the local vet practice!

Norman.

Dave or Brian are the best names for a dog. I don't know why, they just are.

Classically, call it 'syndrome'.

DOWN Syndrome!

Aside - all our cats are named for Scottish islands. Harris (Harry), Lewis (Lewie), Skye and Jura. We did have a dog (15 years ago) called Angus (forgot his name for a moment!).
