Dog names :)

[boquet-of-pink.livejournal.com]

So this is a little different than normal posts in this community, but... I need ideas on dog names. Dog will be a male Collie. Collies, IMHO, are noble and powerful looking, and I'd want a masculine name to convey that. Also, nothing too long and hard to say. Any ideas are welcome. My two ideas thus far are:

Cadillac (probably wind up as Caddy for short)-- completely random. 
Zeke-- sounds masculine to me :D

And although it's been done, my dog *will not* have a middle name ;)

Thanks!

Rex means king in Latin.

One of a few things I recall from my high school Latin course ;) The only thing I don't like is that it seems a little cliche/overused? on dogs.

Thanks :D

I really like Zeke... I can definitely picture a Collie named Zeke.

i like zeke but can't really picture it on a collie. though i'm sure if i met a collie named zeke i would get used to it very easily.
i rather like cadillac, it is as strong name, and caddy is a sweet, affectionate sounding nickname.

and my dogs don't have middle names either haha.

oh, speaking of my dogs, the male one is named stryder, i think that's a pretty strong, masculine name. and the led zeppelin song bron-y-aur stomp is about a dog named stryder, it's such a great song about a dog's companionship.

Stryder is definitely a good strong name :)

Thanks for the input!

When I first saw that, I was thinking, "Eh, girl name." But the more I think about it..the more I like it! :D It sounds masculine but in a refined, cultured way. (Ok, I *am* thinking about Mr. Darcy and Elizabeth Bennett)

Thanks!

I love Zeke for dogs. I had a pet named Chevrolet and we called him Chevy - not very noble, but very masculine IMO.

Pet name request posts are fairly common, actually. I wouldn't worry.

How 'bout Coriander, but Cori for short?
