I'm getting a 10 week old Papillon puppy tomorrow and I'm wondering what to name it. Any suggestions? My children have come up with either Yugi Moto or Peugot. Any other thoughts? We have a 13 year old Papillon named Pappy Yawn and this is going to be his new "little brother." So, go for it, best name gets a cookie. :)

Thor

Porthos.

those would be my choices, if I somehow lost my mond and decided to enslave myself to a stupid, dirty, canine.

Being a Pappillon, it would probably have to be a French name (I don't like toy dogs BTW - give me a Great Dane-Mastiff Cross any day).

So try this website: http://www.wordreference.com/

How about "what-the-hell-is-a-papillion"?

What colour is your dog?

Call him Henri 'Papillon' Charriere or Louis Dega ;)

Butterfly?

Fifi.

What colour is your dog?
I don't know, I haven't seen him yet. should be white with black and/or tan spots like the picture though.

Call him misi-sihkos. Because that kind of dog kind of looks like a ferret. It's pronounced miSEE-seekose. Ferret in Cree:)

Whatever you name it, be mindful of nickname possibilities, both the short kind and the needlessly elaborate.

Like, if you call him Francois, he might be called Frankie or His August Majesty, The Dauphin of France and Prince of the Ten Protectorates of Puppyland...

If you name a dog after the main character of Yugi-Oh, I will never respect you. Nevermind how I recognized the name. A full explanation would require a long description of how I and several other adults actually planned the ass beating of several minors in the back area of a comic shop because their parents were obviously painfully unaware of corporal punishment and it's beneficial effect on manners (before anybody complains, it worked on me and it'll work on my kids, whenever I have some).

With Papa Yawn you seem to have gone for the cheesy approach, much like a friend told me of their cousin's dog being named Deeyojee. Along this line I suggest Sunny Louis because, IIRC, Luois XIV (aka the Sun King) was quite fond of papillons due to one of them foiling an attempt on his life (I'm serious).

Skinny, of course.

John or Robert. Very 'normal' names for men, but somewhat unusual for a dog :)

Just call it dog, or CHAKTHAALA THE DESTROYER.

Napoleon

Julius

Alexander

Just call it dog, or CHAKTHAALA THE DESTROYER.
Scruffy, Destroyer of Worlds.

Name it after a pirate, like Blackbeard or somesuch.

There's always 'Judas'. Fantastic name.

Name it "Toy".

Fido, or Passop. Or Barky, cuz those little bastards bark like hell whenever they see other bigger dogs.

There's always 'Judas'. Fantastic name.
Yeah, cool name and all......slightly negative attachments to that one, though, don't you think?

de Gaulle

Nah, Fenix. How about Zhagghaquboloaug-rnguhaz-yigak-gotlosagachathubhubo of Thanorul from the Draining Dimension from the Torture Sphere of the Flying God from the Dreaming Planet of the Blasphemous Goddess from Keph and Sth-bbon of Chakehan, the Ever-changing Tearer from the Battle World of Lza-krug

Yeah, cool name and all......slightly negative attachments to that one, though, don't you think?Depends on your perogative, I suppose. I personally consider it to have positive connotations; if Judas hadn't betayed Jesus, would he ever have been crucified, and therefore would he have supposedly died for all our sins?

There's always simply 'Dog', which is how we refer to our dog. She seems to like it perfectly well.

Or Nisimis...niSEEmis...younger sibling.

Sirius
Brutus (possibly ill-fated, though)
Scherzo ('accident' in Italian lol)
Anubis
Set
Canis
Caesar
Mr. Wednesday
Little Cthulhu
Tindallos
Toy

Sirius
Anubis
Set
Canis

Hmm, I think there's a pattern there...

Hmm, I think there's a pattern there...

Sheer brilliance....

how about Lakota or Tecumseh. Or TaoTai, I am rather partial to TaoTai.

Luke
Happy Pappy
Cloud
Max Berry II

Uhh....I'll think of more.

Snot.

I think either George Bush or dog would be ideal. :eek:

It's a boy, yes? How about His Royal Highness Sir P***es Alot?

Whiner, didhebiteya, or SMUNKEE THE WONDER DOG!!!!!!!!!!!


*just kidding about the smunkee part, but adding "the wonder dog" makes just about any name a little cooler.

Little Shitlin
Sir Barks-a-lot
It
Parry (paresseux - short for french for lazy) :p
Thrust
Remise

sorry fencing on the brain. 8 hrs a day does that to ya. :p

Spunky was the dog on Rocko, Mutley was Dastardly's dog or you could call him Little Dog like on 2 Stupid Dogs. TV references are the way to go.

Thanks folks, keep it up. Most names have been voted down here by the kids in charge :) . quick reply to a few comments - 1) I intend to do all I can to avoid using Yugi Moto as a name. The idea of a japanese anime name for a french dog doesn't sit well with me. 2) Pappy Yawn is cheesy, but the Pappy part came from my wife's grandfather's name and Yawn came from what he did within 1 minute of us bringing him home, he yawned and curled up and went to sleep (we considered calling him Pappy Bored).
I'm holding out now for Pirate and my youngest kid likes the idea of Davy Jones' Locker now.

Tanto.

In line with my Cree name suggestions...call the dog, dog. Atim. :D

Pappy Deux!

Deux = 2 :)

Pappy Deux!

Deux = 2 :)
But spell it Pappydoo:)

But spell it Pappydoo:)

That's a nice name. Also describes what dogs do on the footpath too.

Just call him what my dad called my cat for 15 years.

worthless! :p

Name it Grandpa.

"Grandpa pooped on the floor again".
"Grandpa was chasing the neighbours' kids."
"Grandpa has fleas."

And when he dies, you can put him in a shoebox in the backyard with a little marker that says "Grandpa".

William the Conqueror! That's what Patton named his dog in the movie. :D

Poppy if female 'bitch'

Peter or Porthous if male 'dog'

Personally, I'd wait and try to assess the puppy'spersonality first.

Howevr, if that is out of the question, I'd name it Jujube. :)

How about Cerberus?

I called my golden retriever Fenris.:)

Sorry, I'm on something of a Star Wars rut this morning....

Depends what breed, I have an African Ridgeback (pretty pure to) and named it Zulu. So if it is a certain breed see where it has come from and name it after that countries most popular (or maybe just has to do with it) name.

France: Joan of Arc, Louis
Germany: Von, Bismarck, Hanka
African: Zulu, Mali, Pharoh,
US: Roosevelt

ect ect...

Also do not repeat do not use my spelling.

Hannibal the Cannibal. :D

It's not alway the best idea to let your kids name a pet. I wouldn't go with Peugot, though, a bit too close to puke. I'd pick something from a favourite book or film, that's always worked for me. Either that or after an actor/singer. I had a bird called Ringo, and another called 'Petrie' after 'The Land Before Time', a film I watched as a child. The only person I know to have had a Papillon called theirs 'Gizmo', I presume after Gremlins. I think it's quite cute actually. Either that or 'Rambo', after the film he was taking after in the second one!

If the dog is a female. Name her Hillary. Our 11 year old miniature schnauzer has that name. My dad said he couldn't think of a better name for a bitch. (this was during Hillarycare.)

Sir Fluffypants.

Call it Rover, in honour of the sadly deceased MG Rover (RIP)
