So after Terry's passing Dave needs a pal and she's coming on Tuesday (hopefully) but we're in the Scottish Borders land of the glottal stop. So Dottie (name now) becomes Do'ee.
So suggestions? Mrs 100th has been saying names at me for days non of which work imho.

Deefer.
Deefer Dog.
Rover?
What breed?
Lovely lucky pooch. The spitting image of my friend’s beloved spaniel who sadly and unexpectedly passed last week. She was named ‘Phoebe’.
Serious answer: Why rename at all? She'll get used to it.
(Unserious answer, learn to talk properly.)

If only there was some sort of link you could click on to find out.
Oops!
Fanny.
She looks like a Meg to me. Short and sweet and easy to call.
I'm not sure standing in the park shouting for fanny will suit Mrs 100th 😀
Cougar the glottal stop doesn't sound good. An I'm Edinburgh born lived in Hampshire for a while so although a definite Scots accent it's about a "right" as you'll get. 🧐
Holly.
Call her [url= https://singletrackworld.com/forum/topic/bye-bye-hope-end-of-the-line-for-my-traildog/ ]Hope[/url]
She'll be awesome.
Not sure if these are transferable as were developed specifically for cats

Nicely topical for Valentine’s Day though.

It’s a good Scottish name.

Dave.

<londoner mode on>of course it does!!!</londoner mode off>
Looks like a "Sprog" to me. Or "Biscuit".
Conker. Thread over 😀
Lucy
Snake Plissken - FTW
Doesn’t matter, it’s a springer - as soon as you let her of the lead she’ll be off whatever you shout...
I'm hoping she and Dave get the same scent. He's part pointer so hearing doesn't work when the nose does.
I'm not sure how to quote somebody else's comment, other than cutting and pasting, but I second this one.
Call her Hope

Ahh missed that bit - two dogs called Dave might not work then.
In which case, Chas is the obvious choice.
Bob. Bob the Dog.

Why rename at all?
Good practice just on the off-chance that the intonation of the name induces a previously learned bad behaviour. The previous Dalmatian was Harper when he came to us and was renamed Huxley as he had a biting problem (humans, dogs, fluffy animals, poultry. . .)
It helps make the dog more 'yours'.
Daniel the Spaniel
Shark (for shouting at the beach)
Myface (for shouting everywhere else, as in "come on...."
Chas. Obviously.
Squirrelly Dan.
We were going to go with daisy but Dave is a bit metrosexual and responds to daisy too
We know a dog called Blitz.
The dog's a nutter, but he's got a great name.
Call her Blitz.
Ciara
Surely it's got to be Jerry (springer)
Asker
We have a Scottish guy who drinks in our local, his dog is called Ghillie. He is a gun dog.
Sharon
Shaz for short.
Dogger.
Your other dog's called Dave? - call her "Hello"
