Have a look on any one of the numerous dog rehoming pages online. Look at all the names there.

Then pick something that is NOT one of those names! The same ones crop up again and again. Particularly on Staffies which are often called Bruno or Tyson.

Beti.

She came from the rescue centre as a Betty and in Basque Beti means Forever (my wife is Basque).

But that probably doesn’t help you.

Mine came from Spain originally and now back there(dog not wife).

Just look at whats on the table...Estrella

(She was called lizzie as she was brought to a the dog rescue centre on the Queens birthday or jubilee or something, after being found on the road as a puppy with her mother who had just been ran over - even got a mention on a royal tweet)

Definitely not enough appreciation on here for your pup photo though, that is one lovely puppy.

I've tried to post pics on this forum but can't figure it out!

Put them on a photo hosting site that isn't Flickr. Copy the link.

Nothing in and of itself, it's a brilliant photo hosting site. It's just obtuse to get embeddable links out of it which work with STW, its raison d'etre isn't a photo sharing site across the web in that sort of sense. It's possible to do but for someone who "can't figure it out" there are many far simpler options.

Obtuse to click share then copy link and paste it here?

Do the other simpler sites do it for you by thougth alone? 🙂

Make sure its a name you can remember because if you ever forget a Microsoft password and have to change it you have to kill the pet.
It's the law.

As a kid we were given the task the only stipulation was that my Dad didn't want a name that you were likely to hear being shouted in the local park. We ended up with a dog called Donut. Maybe it was coincidence but the name seemed to suit her personality perfectly.

I can give you those^^^

but the moment I click on the insert/edit image tag, paste the link all I get is a little box with no pic; I'm not totally computer illiterate! Maybe its because I'm on a chromebook. 🙁

Edit - works, but doesn't how in the preview 🙂

Cover your eyes and step outside. Uncover your eyes and name the dog after the first thing you see.

Ahh, why do you ask how we do the naming ritual Twodogsfu… ?

The originals probably a can of worms 🙂
