I know it's not exactly a baby... but we just got a new puppy and are needing a name. My hubby had a dog Shelby for a little while when he was younger (pre 10) but that dog got hit by a car, so at 10 he got Charlotte, my later step-puppy (he lived in North Carolina, see the names? lol!) and she just died in Oct of 06. We got a new one that looks almost just like her as a puppy (so I hear) a black lab with a white spot on the chest. only the new puppy has white tips on her back paws.

So anyways! We need a good name, maybe similar to Charlotte. I saw on a name site Kaloke? It's a maybe...

Not connected, but along the NC vein, Raleigh'd be kinda cute for a dog. I'm trying to think of other cities that could translate to animal names and I'm not coming up with much. Errrm...Lenoir, Rocky Mount (that'd just be funny), Winston, Cricket (that'd be confusing), Kitty Hawk (even more confusing), Mulberry, Selma, Leland, Sylva, Wallace, Zebulon, Navassa (sad little town, though), Cary, Ivy, Meadow, Poplar...

How about Shallotte? It's an NC town, and the name's close to Charlotte. It's just pronounced shuh-LOTE.

Just stay away from Fuquay-Varina for a name!

I second the Sadie from above. I think thats an adorable name for a dog. :)

Dog names should above all be easy for the dog to hear and understand. Dogs respond best to hard consonants. Two syllables seems work well.

I have heard it said that you shouldn't name your dog anything that starts with "S" because too many commands also start with S (sit, stay) and it might be confusing.

That being said, my two dogs are named Blue and Sheba, so I didn't exactly follow my own "rules!"

I had an aunt named Charlotte, but everyone called her Schotzie (shot-zee).
