QUICK: Name This Dog


Long story short, this weekend was my birthday and I got two pretty awesome gifts. The first is a fish-eye lens. If you’re a Zoomdoggle regular, odds are you’re going to see a lot of very wide-angle and rounded photos in the days ahead. The second is a dog. A giant puppy. A giant nameless puppy. And that’s where you come in. Help me name the dog. Make a suggestion or two in the comments below and the winner gets, well, naming rights. How fun is that?

That dog looks like a german sheppard mix, so I would name him Jack after Jack Sheppard from LOST. or Reggie.

What about Damn-it?
So you can call him (or her) and say “COME HERE DAMN IT!”
or “I LOVE YOU DAMN IT!”
I’ve always liked the name Socrates as well.

Also! I like Noodles!
Cute!
June 15th, 2009 at 2:12 pm
Just remember, whatever you name your dog is what you’ll be shouting in public when you’re chasing him down when he goes ape sh**.
So make it something funny.

June 15th, 2009 at 6:37 pm

What a beautiful dog! You know about Border Collies, don’t you? They’re so smart and hyper that they need a job… or they’ll make one up. Maybe being a only half, he’ll be happy with part-time work. Anyway, to the name – I saw this on the NameThis entry and I just like it and seems to fit this good looking guy – Moe!
