I came up with Remington after relentlessly checking "german shepherd dog names" "baby names" and all sorts of sites. I had a list of like 30 names that (ex) BF axed all of them. I wanted Remy as a sort of "protection" dog-not attack or be mean dog, but since I was home alone a lot, just something to make me feel secure. Remington, being a gun brand, I thought- how funny would it be if I could say I have my own Remington protection
Now, almost every time I am asked what her name is, and I say 'Remington,' almost every one has the same reply... "LIKE THE GUN?!" hehe. I didn't name her specifically after the gun, but I always say, "yes, like the gun."
How did you come up with your beloved fur-child's name?
In fact I love all the names it's so cool to see dogs with all sorts of cool names,my dogs nickname is Wolfey because she reminds me of a wolf when she runs
I came up with his pet name simply because I wanted him to have a strong German name, I'm half German. Thus Jaeger. And I wanted to name a dog Faolán, Gaelic for Little Wolf, for the longest time, BUT I tried adopting a puppy before him, decided he would be Faolán, and that fell through. I didn't want to call him that, so it's his middle name. He only hears it if he's in trouble!
Full name Jaeger Faolán Double. Hunter Little Wolf.
We haven't gotten her yet (still too young), but we decided to name our pup Freya after the Norse goddess of just about everything. Supposedly she's also the leader of the valkyries, and if today's game of tug at the breeder's house meant anything, she's certainly a tenacious fighter! Absolutely gorgeous too - a little furry goddess.
We found her in the street, found her owner through craigslist, returned her, and two weeks later she was returned to us so we could give her a better life.
My puppy's name is Timbre. Alot of people ask me about it. My husband 1rst dog as a child (which he says looked just like this one) was named Timber I just put a spin on the others name because the pups still an original.
Hanah- had to be an H name. When I said it she cocked her head.
Ike- Eisenhower Von der Polizei was his true name, but "I like Ike" so Ike it was
Lena- came with it. B'lena Zune Treuenhanden. " B" litter.
Phoster- started as Phlicker, sounded to much like Flicka, so I changed it. Had to be a P name. All dogs from her kennel are P names. Call the " P" dogs
Nix- actually Nixon. Figured I would stick with the presidential theme from my last boy. It was between Nixon/ Nix and Reagan/ Dutch. But Dutch seemed to common. So Nix it was.
haha this thread is fun and I cant believe I missed it until now.
Riley was named Railey before we adopted him. He would look at you like you were stupid if you said Railey so we dropped the 'a' and he liked it. Plus it was easier to say.
Zena came to us shelter named Zenia. Delicate flower type she was not so we dropped the 'i'.
Shasta was named June in the litter she came from but she never responded to it which was fine. I love Shasta brand soda and thought it would be a cool name. It works perfectly. Only a couple years ago did I learn it was the name of a mountain which is where the soda company came up with their name!
My next shepherd will be a male and we're going to call him Dax. I like the actor Dax Shepard so thought it would be funny to name a shepherd Dax and see how many people get it.
I didn't name her. Even though she was my dog, my mom named her, and she came up with Sasha because she thought it sounded German. It's Russian, but I liked the name so I was ok with it.
LOL that's what I would have named my GSD -- except that's the little girl's name who lives next door. I didn't want confusion on either her or Roxy's part when one of us went out and hollered the name.
The first few weeks after we got her, Shadow was constantly sitting or lying down right behind our heels while we worked in the kitchen. Even now she will quietly follow me from room to room and if I back up incautiously I'm liable to trip over her.
That, plus she had a lot more black when she was little so the name came naturally. It's unfortunately common, though :-\
we went with Roxy ( from the musical Chicago)..she looks and acts like Roxy. When she's stumbling one of us will always say "go home Roxy you're drunk" ...it's kind of like "kennel up"
I wanted a name that was german..short...and not common. So after hours of goggling I foind Apsel which means father of peace.....his reg name well wasn't my picking lol Kaleef's Minuteman Aldercrest.
Argos meaning vigilant guardian and he is hopefully going to be a great service dog for my daughter one day (Autism). So he is her Argos her vigilant guardian
When I was 6 years old my parents asked me what kind of dog I wanted to get for our next family pet and I told them a "police dog". They let me pick the name also and I chose Thunder (who knows where I got that from). Anyway, my fiancé and I decided it was time to get a dog of our own and of course a GSD was the only option. Although it is somewhat of a boyish name, we named our little girl Donner, which means Thunder in german
