How about Ernie, sounds like a dog's name to me 🙂

Whatever you choose, remember you'll be shouting that name in public for the next 15 years...

My girlfriend insists that a dog should be called Askit.

"What's it's name?"
"Askit"
"...."

That's just your opinion Stoner.. i know a few staffies and without exception their fantastic dogs.. it's the owners and how they're raised that's the issue generally

A few ideas from me..

Diesel
Loki (norse god of trouble)
Marley
Tomac

How about Deefer as in D for dog?

or

Crapper

or

Dog

or

Rude Boy

or go the 'Cove' option

Stiffee, Hummer, Hand job etc (you'll have hours of fun calling his name!!)

Sea areas are good too:

Rockall, Malin,Shannon, Biscay, Viking etc

not sure that German Bight would be suitable 😳

Failing that then Dave! 😆

So, you're going to tell your kids that "pickles" is a stupid name, but it's OK, you got a better one on the internet. And it's "dave".

Resultamundo. 😀

Two suggestions from me.

The first will be superb when walking the dog in the park, as you would be able to yell after the dog to "Come on...." when he's lagging behind you.
The suggestion is - Myface

The second will be superb when the dog is on the furniture at home when he shouldn't be and you yell at him to "Get down"
The suggestion is - Nboogie

I think slightly goofy sounding person names are best (no offence anyone :P) - Keith, Derek, Norman, Nigel etc

PMSL @ CFH.

I think that Duke would be a good name for a Staff. But i would wait till you've got the dog and then see what comes to mind, different dogs seem to have different characters

in a similar vein to CFH,

"Syndrome"

For training purposes, keep it short, for embarassement purposes make it something you dont mind shouting.

ie. not pickles - for the dogs sake dont let your kids name it.

ohh beaten (actually badly beaten) to Killer by stoner...

I actually really like "Wise" as a name (not named by me), my last cat but one was called it, though my current cat is "Prawn" (named by me)....so feel free to ignore me

Briliant! Loving Myface and Nboogie! Dave seems to be getting lots of mentions, as does Killer :lol:, two of mine are Clyde and Nero. A rottie called Bubbles is also pretty cool, also thought about Badger or Stimpy!

Stay away from naming it after footballers etc. Know lots of staffy owners with dog's called Rooney who don't support Man U!

Short, distinct sound and not embarassing to shout repeatedly across the park are good ideas,

Buster, Butch and Prince are pretty common names for Staffies who can be fantastic pets in the right hands. Just make sure you socialise it with other dogs eg puppy training classes etc.
