woof woof :-)

She's 8 weeks old, a long-coated white German Shepherd. Totally adorable of course! Pictures of the litter and of her mum (''Saffi'') are at the breeder's website: http://home.iprimus*com.au/whiteshepherdau/sovereign/sp.html Anyone got any suggestions for her name? Gotta be easy off the tongue and short (or easily abbreviated), not too cutesy but feminine. Have had several suggestions - nothing has struck so far so still looking for the ideal name for her. Anyone able to help? Richard

hmmmm.... Tilly or Tilla (as in.. Atilla the HUN as in GERMAN shepard ) :)))

My gran's white shepherd was called Carmen..

Hey Richard, those puppies are toooooo cute! Saffi after sapphire, how about 'Aggie' after agate. Lew Lew x

Hi Richard seeing as you live in Perth how about PERTHA

How about - Cassa. A bit from each of her parents names. Or - Crystal, the dogs are gorgeous by the way! Heather

Tilly, Richard short for Matilda or Alli short for Alissia after our brave arialist who won bronze at the winter games with only only 4months since having her knee done she impressed me so much she is so feminine and so humble and gracious too and very prettyso what better name either one would be suitable give her a tummy rub for me and alick from my baby Billie (cavalier king charles)love Lara

Hi Richard...... Love Sheperd's Uumm....what about..... 'Bella'......rolls easy off the tongue. Latin name meaning 'beautiful' Tony Oz :>))

Like Lara said Matilda can't beat that for a good Aussie name but then you could call her Ozzie, Melba (another great Aussie), then there's Sydney the best place on earth :-) LoL, Queenie after QLD, what are the suburbs around you? Hit google up for some famous Aussies. Gypsy Joe

Thank you all for some great suggestions. Quite like Tilly, that's a possibility. Can't use Aggie I'm afraid (have a friend called Aggie - short for Agnetha!). Carmen was a disgraced politician here in Perth! Cassa - nice idea, combining the parents names - maybe Cassie even? I do like Bella but a friend's dog has that already. Any more? keep 'em coming! Richard

Gemma is nice - meaning little gem in Latin (fits in with the mum's name Sapphire). But the same friend who has Bella also has a dog called Gemma! Dammit why are all the good names taken! Aussie place names - well she was born in Ballarat - so maybe Bally? Quite like the goddess names too - Isis is a bit hard to say though (bit hissy!). Troika means threesome in Russian apparently!

Do you have a favorite brand of beer? My cat is called CLICQUOT (Clic's for short) after my favorite champers!! We also used to have a German shepherd called Shaney Good luck with her and hope she cuddles well!! xx

Athene another greek goddess

What about GENEE after your favorite hobby!! :O)

We have just had to have our lovely cat Holly put to sleep. Maybe that is a name that would suit as she was obviously born near Christmas. Ann Glos

Milly is a good name and so is Molly for that matter. Both strong, but with the soft mmmmm. Lew Lew

LOL Diana ... can't really call her XXXX! Mainly I drink Mid-strength, again not really suitable! Genie - maybe. I've actually been through the family tree seeking inspiration, the most fitting family name would be Maggie after gt-grandma Margaret. It means Pearl too which again fits in with the jewel theme. Thanks for Athene, Julie - that might be a bit hard to shout out in the park tho! Misty's already on my list, Holly's nice, Misha, Milly too.
