Dog names….


We’re off to pick up a new pup tomorrow afternoon(lovely little cocker) but completely drawing a blank on a name. So far we have Stan
Bert(Bertie)
Gus
Alfie
Beck
Bexley

I’m absolutely terrible at this sort of thing, the wife likes Stan but I’m not made up. Our last dog was called max which is hard to beat for a dog name. I need some suggestions/inspiration before we go and pick him up tomorrow others he’ll leave being called pup as he is now. He’s a golden colour if that helps.

Mason.
I like human names for dogs. Bob was my favourite dog name. Current one is called Charlie.

There's a dog lives nearby called Alan.

I have had:

Sally
Ben
Joe
Ted

Prefer one syllable names for recall.

Another point on getting a new dog, it’s around 2 years since we lost our beautiful boy max and although I feel ready to get a new dog, I’ve got several avatars across social media and work and screen savers on devices which are pictures of him/us, I’ve got very mixed emotions about changing these to pictures of the new pup, as though he’s being replaced. I’m sure other people will have had the same experience.

I've still got our Jack who passed away last year on my phone background. Just hasn't felt right to replace him yet.

I can relate to that.
We fostered a dog from S.A.R.A for 10 years (as nobody wanted her).
She and I had a special bond and I was devastated when she died.
It's been nearly 7 years now and I can't bring myself to use a photo of any of our other dogs (we have five and I think the world of em all) as my desktop screen saver.
I just feels disrespectful to little Susie.

My dogs are called Roker and Niall. No idea why
 
Dog in my atavar was Harry. Wise old thing he was.
Can't bring myself to replace his photo with one of three dogs we have now although they are much loved.
We called the newcomers Barney, he's a Spanish water dog, lovely natured and bright; Marnie, a fox terrier that was so badly neglected and abused its took us years and the third is L'il Dave. He's an abandoned Yorkie who adopted me one day. There was some resistance indoors when I said I' didn't want to take him to the pound and was rather tersely asked 'Well what ya gonna call him then?'
So I said the first name that came into my head which is my own.
It suits him.
