Dog Name

toadfly

We are picking up our new dog next weekend but cant decide on a name..she is a Staffie cross about 8 months old. She came from the pound to us for a few days before she went into foster, we were calling her Betty, foster is calling her Venus, I like the name Lexi and the BF wants to call her Dixie..what do ye think?

How do I get a poll added into the thread?!

This is the little angel

EGAR

Her name is BETTY and it will stay Betty .

Shazanne

O she's adorable! And she looks like a Lexi to me;) I think that's a brilliant name for her!
Hope I get her in this years SS!!:cool:

But she looks like a Lexi:P

EGAR

I will be getting confused, I already re-homed a Lexi (male), have another Staffie pup called Lexi (female) in foster and now she wants to go and call a THIRD EGAR dog Lexi..? My brain is not able to take all this Lexiism .

Osgood

She definitely looks like a Dixie to me! Too many Lexi's around the place

The poor doggy will be so confused! I think u should stick with the original name, Betty. It's cute and i've never known a dog called Betty.

Shazanne

How about Bitsy or Bixie? It's a bit of everything and pretty unusual:)

Congrats Tillygirl on taking another doggy! I have to say I like Betty too!

Cherry Blossom

Oooh, she's going to you? I'm so jealous! But in a good way.

I like Betty or Dixie, myself.

Live with her for a few days, then you'll know what name is right for her.

She is gorgeous, hope you have a long and happy life together:D She looks very cheeky:P

I know 3 staffies called lexi. Where have all the lexi's come from?

Dixie is a lovely name.

But Sarah the original Lexi is now called Ponc so thats only two Lexi's! You can call her Betty on your records

Ah no its only been 10 days since she came from the pound, we never really called her Betty but thats what I told EGAR her name was originally but then we decided it didnt suit her!

Betty sounds more like a 90 year old grey-haired little lady, not a happy puppy! (No offence intended to any Bettys out there!:o)

Do you watch Corrie by any chance?:D

i have a male black labrador 6 years old, we called him John for the laugh and it stuck, we are used to it now but we get the odd strange look from people when we call his name, is middle name is Pacino because when he yawns he goes "hoo aww"

EGAR
