I love this. Okay here are some themes that I think great names could be created from.

Queen song titles
Newspapers/Magazine names
Seasons
Birds of Prey
Movie titles
Perfumes
Types of rocks
Musical instruments
Video game titles
Temperatures
Poets
Ice cream flavours
Types of fabric
Types of fish

That's all i've got for now.

My litter from last winter was the "minute" litter. Louise's registered name has the word "Moment", so I decided to follow a time theme for her litters. The next litter will all have the word "hour" in it. I have not even started a list yet - LOL!

It is nice to sometimes use something from one or both of the parents - whether it be from their registered name or call name. For example, I used something from both parents for Harvard's registered name. "Command" and "Minute" (the next logical step in time from moment) I will say that for some really popular sires, this has been overdone in a big way.

I do see some really neat names .... and some not so neat names. I've always liked Kim's Bowie theme Sometimes themes are so obscure to the general public that we don't even realize that there is a theme. I also have a hard time with themes that have very hard to pronounce words in them.... no-one knows how to say the name, so no one ever does!

Queen song titles

That was exactly my answer. Crazy little thing, tee-hee. Anybody want to do this and name my little girl this? Don't all start figting over this now, LOL.

Sheer Heart Attack would not be good for a dobe, but...Stone Cold Crazy....

or maybe a crazy theme, with songs that have the word crazy in it. There are tons of them. Yea, so in order to not copy you I'll go with this.

The theme that I am using right now for all my dog name is

Masonic names or Biblical names.

Dog 1: Jakin Boaz
Dog 2: Solomon Boaz

Therefore, all of the dogs that I will have will resemble a Biblical or Masonic name until I run out of name

 

[Colorado Dobes]

If one day, many years from now, I have a dog worthy of breeding, some litter theme ideas of mine are:

Cities/Towns in Mississippi (gotta show the love for the home state)
Civil War officers
Famous Racehorses
Bodies of Water (And if I keep one, I'm putting tchoutacabouffa in the name, for the Tchoutacabouffa River!!!)

JDD, Beau Rivage is an awesome name! I lived about 5 minutes away from the Beau Rivage in Biloxi, MS!

 

[Jennifer01]

How fun would this be . . . to get to name a litter.

I would choose

1. Fashion Houses: Dior, De La Renta, Vuitton, etc.
2. Royalty: De Bourbon, Conde, Tudors, etc.
3. Superheroes
4. Pirates
5. Mythical Creatures: Nessie, Pegasus, Centaur's etc.
6. Greek Heroes: Perseus, Hercules, Jason, etc.



Thanks for the creative thread!

 

[Colorado Dobes]

German Castles would be another good one.

 

[gracieface]

last year was my first litter, and as I had resurrected my parents kennel name I went with "new or firsts" for the theme, so there was some real creativity- mine are Resurrection and Regenesis, and some great variations like Nova Caesar, Maximus Prime. this year, as my girl's registered name is Graceful Twostep I have gone with "dance" either the word or the name of a dance.
I have friends with a havanese named Elvis (they have to stop letting me name their dogs!), so when they use him they want to have all the pups with Elvis songs for their registered names.
love this thread, hmm, might have to reference it next time I breed.

Country Songs!!!

Don't forget Lake Cataouatche, and the Atchafalaya, Tchefuncte, and Ouachita Rivers in Louisiana and the Mattaponi and Pamunkey rivers in Virginia.

I don't know about you--but I think a dog named Pamunkey would be.......interesting.

ive got litter upon litter of themes already picked. in fact, ive got enough names picked out to name more dogs than i could ever own.

i cant share them, though... or id have to kill you.

seriously - ive got a word document of about 400 names - i think of them, write them down, and save them just in case they will work for my next dog. of course, some people think they are stupid, but i like weird and unusual names. just yesterday that stupid blackstreet song came on "no diggity"... and lydia and i decided that
"bowie's the way you work it" would be a great name for a dog...


all my themes are pretty much song titles though. thats my THING.

Oh my. I thought I was the only one.

Only my doc is nearly 500 names long now, and most of them are intended for horses. Some would translate nicely to show names for dogs, too, though.

I do song themes a lot, but I also really, really like to use plays on words, and just anything that sounds cool.

One group of horse names I did recently is seismic, and I'll go ahead and give it away, though I will, like Doberkim, also have to kill, if someone uses without crediting. (I was thinking of big ol' warmbloods, for these names.)

So...Continental Drift. Tectonic. Aftershock. Epicenter.

For dogs, who usually have longer show names than horses, I might add Off the Richter Scale. Seismic Boom, maybe? Hehe.

Velma...Seize the Hour. Momentous Hour. All Hours, or Out til All Hours. (Witching Hour prolly too obvious, and maybe used, due to the Witch line, huh?)

Wee Hours, if you decide to do a Minpin, ha!
Gimme a bit, and I can help come up with some better hour theme names. I love doing this stuff.

 

[Bilclarie]

For my last litter I used Roxy Music song / album titles always been a fan of Bryan Ferry

eg.... Raven is Bilclaries Flesh and Blood and Ivy is Bilclaries Bete Noire.

 

[bubsy]

I would do New Orleans/Louisiana type themes. I would love to do a Mardi Gras theme- Throw Me Somethin Mister, It's Carnival Time, Iko Iko, Mardi Gras Mambo.

 

[dillonsmom]

I would do wines...chardonnay, zinfandel, rioja, crianza, pinot, etc

or Led Zep songs stairway to heaven...no quarter,,magic of the night..fire and sword ..just to name a few !!

 

[brumwolf]

Well we have often talked about a litter from Tia (she has good all round talent and temprement to die for) although nothing is set in stone yet and there will be a litter from her sister Blaze early next year,I have always said if we did have pups from Tia I would apply for the kennel name of "Shimada Dobermanns" (an old Japanese work associate of mine and I always said his name would make a great kennel title) so I guess the first theme would have to be Japanese eg "Shimadas Samurai", "Shimadas Geisha Girl" (for a little lady of course) and I'm sure there would be no end of helpful suggestions from the folks on here !!!

 

[MeganUK]

Grateful Dead songs

I love it! I have always though that if i got a female GSD i would name her "Ripple" for a call name. I like "Shake it, shake it sugaree" for a reg'd name. China cat sunflower is cool too! Good idea!

I love Ripple - one of my favorite songs.

I always liked Sunshine Daydream, Box of Rain, Alabama Getaway, Brokendown palace, Stella Blue, hell In A Bucket and it is too early for me to remember the rest.

Man of the Hour! (For a stud)

Hehe, wonder how many we can get on DT to start Word docs for dogs they may or may not ever own?

 

[thea2003]

UMMM Is it sad that as soon as I hear someone is getting a dog i start thinking of registered names for their dog??
My moms puppy is a chihuahua. And he is very dramatic!! Like he screamed for deworming meds lol I said you should call him "Roar" So his name is "Roary" Reg. name is "Shake Growl N Roar" Cuz thats about all chihuahuas do lol.
