    Default Getting a dog - Name suggestions beginning with N

    Hey

    My family is getting a new dog, and we're argueing over a new name. We've had two dogs from before and both had been given names beginning with N.
    The new dog will also be named with a name beginning with N.

    So...any suggestions?

    Nero, Nicator & Nicephorus have all been rejected btw

    And I decided it would be my turn to make a "strange post"

    Normally I would suggest the obvious, but seeing as I have level 6 warning I better think of something else...

    How about Nibbles.

    Nixon was also the drunk XO of Easy Company of the 101st. So either way it fits well. Though this Nixon was far more amiable, less shifty...

    edit: One more thing. If your dog is neither bashing Bush, nor a fervent supporter of the war in Iraq, why is this thread in the Backroom (as opposed to the Frontroom) ?

    In keeping with my "always give pets people names because it sounds funny" policy, allow me to propose the following:

    1) Ned
    2) Nathan
    3) Nigel

    Now if you will excuse me, I have to go home and feed my two cats: Simon and Penny (my next pet, no matter what kind of animal he is, is going to be named Steve).

    BTW you didnt specify a dog or a bitch...may have a bearing on the name required.

    There are times I wish they’d just ban everything- baccy and beer, burgers and bangers, and all the rest- once and for all. Instead, they creep forward one apparently tiny step at a time. It’s like being executed with a bacon slicer.

    Is it a really nice dog? Not just a bitch or a bastard of a dog, but a good and noble and “man’s best friend” kind of dog?

    If so, name it Nelson. Works for me. Nelson is also very Nordic. Son of Neil or something like that. Might not suit a female though.
