PMJackson21 0 Posted October 1, 2007 Share Posted October 1, 2007 FCP OT,Hi there...I don't post in here often, mainly because I am intimidated by super threads, but I figured I'd get the collective opinion of you guys regarding the name for my new dog. I almost posted this in P5s OT, but came to my senses and remembered where my loyalty lies.So, my gf and I are buying an english bulldog puppy. Before anyone goes on a tangent about the difficulties of bulldogs (health etc), please don't because there is no need. I've done a lot of research on the different breeds, and have my heart set on a bulldog, so that's set in stone. There are pretty much no male puppies available in my area (Bay Area, CA), and absolutey none below show class (I don't need a show dog, and I really dont want to spend the extra few k for it), so we are having to buy from out of state. This has been a difficult process, mainly because there is a huge amount of puppy fraud that goes on online. So after a few weeks of researching breeders, checking references etc, I am 95% sure that I am getting this puppy:So, now I need a name. It's named Monty right now, which I like, but I think I want to name it myself. I have always wanted a bulldog, and I always have wanted to name it something British sounding (like Monty, or WInston etc), or something from greek mythology possibly (I like Odysseus, but it's too long...I guess I could call him Ody for short, but meh...no Zeus, Hercules, etc etc which are popular). Trainers say the name should be preferably one syllable, and two at the most. That kind of makes it hard to have a good name (esp greek mythology), unless you use a nickname. So, please help me decide on a name ot. Nothing to lame/generic. I want something unique, but not stupid. TYTY Link to post Share on other sites

BAILEY Me personally, I would go with Bentley.Heh I like Bentley, that will def go onto the 'to be considered' list. There are a few different web sites that have like 2000+ names (a lot of unique ones too) and I've poured over those.Falcor is a cute idea...anything that is referencing a movie or a book, or mythology is always an idea. I def don't want anything generic. Link to post Share on other sites

Lolli 0 Posted October 1, 2007 Share Posted October 1, 2007 Im in favor of Bentley as well, although, I also really like his original name of Monty.I never knew it was so tough to name a pet. If I get a dog, Im naming him Fish. Or Turtle. Link to post Share on other sites

Heh I can't think of anything poker related that isn't lame. And besides, I hate poker and don't really want to hate my dog. I mean if I name him Lee Jones, what will happen the next time I take a 3 outer deep in a tournament? Link to post Share on other sites

The puppy becomes scared. Or"Man that sucks Bentley (calls onto lap and rubs head) Now I remember why I hate poker (Another rub, behind the ears). "Seems pretty clear to me.

PMJackson21 0 Posted October 1, 2007 Author Share Posted October 1, 2007 Did I read that right? You hate poker? Color me confused.I have a love/hate relationship with poker. I love winning, I hate losing. In all seriousness, one reason I have never 'gone pro' and quit my day job, is that I don't like playing every day. Tournament poker can be a grind on your mental state, especially (and obviously) when you are on a down swing. My personality just doesn't fit the lifestyle well, and I prefer to view it as a profitable hobby rather then a profession. But yeah, following a disappointing wcoop/sunday yesterday, poker is def not on my fav things list today. Link to post Share on other sites
PMJackson21 0 Posted October 1, 2007 Author Share Posted October 1, 2007 OrelThat's good knowledge JJJ. If his name had been Winston Hershiser (considering his nickname) or something less dorky then Orel, I def would have gone with that. Besides, Orel played for the 'Gints' at the end of his career, and forever tainted his legacy. Real Dodgers pull a Jackie Robinson, and quit when traded to the 'Gints'.
