I love names! :)

What do you know about her personality? Do you have a picture of her?

The only thing that sprang to mind for a bmf female is "Zorra" you know, black mask, Zorro...yeah. That's all I've got for now :rolleyes:

I'll have to go wrack my brain for some good suggestions...

Penny's dad and I are of the philosophy that girl bully dogs need really ultrafeminine names. Hence all the English bulldogs you meet named Daisy and Fanny and stuff.

We picked out Penny's name because of a restaurant in Burlington VT where we ate on vacation. It's called Penny Cluse, after the owners' dog. Her formal name is Penelope, though, and her dad gets all excited if I don't use her formal name at the vet and on forms and everything.

I love to pick names!!! appicon Our male Frenchies name is Lenny. Female dogs that we have or have had are: Lilly, Sweetie, Jewel, Ginger, Savanah and Jazzy. We also have a list of names that we like: Sophie, Jitterbug (Bug), Nutmeg (Meg), Peaches, Reba, Stella,Blossom, Dazzler and Cricket. There are many more that I like, but I thought that I would just show you a few.
I usually will just start saying a bunch of names and one will just stick. That is how I named Lenny. I got his name from the character on Law and Order. :)

How fun!

Here are some ideas:
- Gadget or Gidget (like the Gremlins)
- Sable or Dune (like the colour of her coat)
- Wren (goes well with Rocky)
- Foxy (no reason except it's sassy)
- Nala, Cleo or Leo ('cause black masks look like lions)

You can have my baby name if you want (since we live in different countries): Petra.

Naming animals is the time to be really creative! Although many people name their animals human names, that's the time to be fun w/ it. It's logical to look at their personality and how they look. For example, for little white dogs, you could name it Popcorn. It takes a little time to choose the right name.
