Puppy Names

[SC1BOB]

In mid-October, we will be welcoming a male Golden Retriever puppy into our home. Like many of you on this board, we have a culture problem which is also known as our love for Penn State football. Our previous Golden Retriever's name was Gifto. We named him after Pete Giftopoulus who intercepted the ball in the 1987 Fiesta Bowl against Vinny Testaverde and the Miami Hurricanes to secure the National Championship.

So now we need to pick a name for our new puppy. While Barkley would a great name, that is the puppy's dad's name and his mom's name is Nelly. One name under consideration is Mauti. As you all know, Michael Mauti was very instrumental in holding the team together in 2012. Any other names you think we should consider?

"Shoop" would be a good name, but the dog would probably be inclined to "run away"

Retriever/Receiver? Hmm how about Robinson or Godwin??

 

[TheWizardofCamelot]

The Wizard

 

[Obliviax]

Saysay? Mohead? Gatis (my personal favorite)? Spencer? Yetur? Oruwariye?

 

[psuro]

McDuffie.

 

[rudedude]

How about Tuddies?

 

[Woodpecker]

or you can go the Mike Cerimele route: Nittany!

 

[LionJim]

You need a good, strong 2-syllable name. My dogs' names are Enzo and Lily. My daughter has a dog Callie.

Suggestions:

1. Barkley
2. Heisman
3. JoePa
4. Lavar

 

[massimoManca II]

Yeboahkodie

 

[bwifan]

How about Shaw? In honor of Tim and his great career at PSU and how he has handled with dignity this God awful disease stripping his body of everything.

 

[LafayetteBear]

Here's a suggestion:

 

[CF LION]

JoePa

That's the name of my niece's dog. They live in Germany and always need to explain the origin of his name.

 

[Leo Ridens]

When we got our puppy years ago, I suggested the name Beavis. My son (then about 8) thought for a minute, realized the implications of what his own nickname would become, and gave an emphatic "NO!". I am still proud of that boy.

 

[ILLINOISLION]

I like Bentley or Butler. My -ex used to love to say "we live in Barrington and we have a Butler". And a friend of my brother in Austin has two Bentleys: a car and a dog.

AND

Fonzie suggested Mr C, Ritchie, Ralphie, Potsie or Chachi.

Barkley is an excellent name for a dog.

I usually try to choose a dog name that can be shortened (or easily bastardized) because I almost always call the dog something other than its name (unless I am mad at it and then it gets its whole name).

Golden puppies (well, goldens in general) are awesome. Enjoy!

 

[UncleRoyBiggins]

I always wanted to name a dog "Peeve" So, I could introduce him/her as my pet Peeve.

 

[Victor E. Bell]

Spider

 

[lionville]

Flukey, so everyone rremembers that win over OSU in 2016.

 

[sluggo72]

Joe
Bob
Franklin

 

[Ohio_Pirate]

Doggy McDogface
Barkley McBarkface

If I really had to choose:
Posluszny (means 'obedient' in Polish)

 

[pandaczar12]

How about "Pitt Sucks"?

Too many dogs have that name, they likely won't let you register it.

Enjoy the time with the puppy, it goes too fast. Remember that when he takes a narduzzi on your carpet.

Lots of great suggestions above - fun thread. I like the Franklin suggestion.

[pandaczar12]

Conner or Conner. For not only the outstanding linebacker Dan Connor at Penn State, but also that fine young man who plays for the Steelers who had to overcome so much adversity in life.

 

[wplion]

How about Big Toe?

 

[Bessmoney]

Cappy.
