My boyfriend and I will be picking up a seven month old mixed breed puppy from its foster home on the 22nd, but we're still up in the air about what to call her.


Photobucket
This is her at her current foster home. Her name is currently Jojo. I don't think that fits... and, well, I just don't like it.

So far we're between Poesy (Poe for short), Fiona (Fi or Fifi for short), and Bijou. If you have any other suggestions, though, please do share! I'm kind of going for uncommon, but not totally off the wall names.


Thank you all in advance!

LOL! When my mom saw her picture she said "she have a Lola face!", without reading your comment! =D

This is just my opinion, but....if she's used to hearing the name Jojo, then I think you should stick with that. Even if you don't like it, that's still her name and the one she knows. Personally, I don't think it would be worth it to have to retrain her to a new name...and it might be confusing for her.

That being said, if you absolutely must rename her, I like Bijou out of the ones you've already picked out.

Yeah I think it's more the way you say that certain word to them, not them recognizing the actual word. But maybe I'm wrong, I really don't know.

It definitely is. My brother used to get a kick out of saying to our dog "Who's a stupid stupid dog? Who's the dumbest dog alive?" because our dog would be ALL OVER THAT. She loved it.

Hahaha, that reminds me of my brother dealing with our parents' pudgy little beagle/sheltie. He'll say in a a really high-pitched voice, "Hey, fat bitch! You want a belly rub, you fat bitch?" She'll come running, tail wagging, and roll right over, and he'll scrub her stomach and croon, "Awww, you like that, don't you, you fat bitch?" and she eats it up.

Yea, that's definitely true. Cats are like that too. We used to call one of my cats the most random names, one of which was Puppy, and he always responded.

I always thought it was one of those if it sounded sort of like their name, they'd respond to it. Like, my cat's name is Rudy, but I could call him Fruity or Poopy and he'd still look up when I said it.

I like Bijou the best out of the names you mentioned, BTW.

she does hav ea very pit face... but she jsut reminds me of this boxer mix (whichi s prolly a pitt mix as well) that lives down the street. Infortubately with the "agressive dogs" ban/tax that is put on our city... It hink our dear neighbour will ahve ot rid herself of the dog.. but she is an adorable dog!

oh me too.. considering some dogs who aren't agressive but are part of the pitt family were included.. which is sad.

Regardless, my city sucks... it's bad.

*squeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!* when the picture uploaded i jumped up and down in my seat - i LOOOOOOOVE pitties/pittie mixes. brindles are GORGEOUS btw. :D

i'm so so so so happy you're rescuing this baby!!!! big kudos!

out of the names you picked I like Posey... but if i were gonna name her, *mwuahahaha* the first thing that came to mind was my bfs childhood pit, her name was Jazz, but she was always called Jazzy-Pup.

that's the vibe i got off her pic... she'd make a great Jazzy-Pup! lol.

*ps dunno if you're a member or not, but you could join this fabulous group i'm in on LJ called 'petbulls'* :D

I like Poesy or Bijou. My cat has 8 different nicknames and he comes to all of them so I don't think changing her name will be a big deal.

She reminds me of my cousin's dog Scully.

Poesy suits her. The spelling makes me laugh because if I'd read it in Dutch it's pronounced Pussy.
I like Fiona too.
