The name game

Posted : 3/23/2008 8:16:59 PM

So we are looking at a dog to adopt. He is aprox 1 1/2 years old. He is mixed with golden retriever and possibly alaskin malamute.
His name now is Willow, personally I think it's kinda feminin. We would like all the names to go togeather. Since we already have Sugar and Spice (Our cats) we were thinking of Sage.

Dose anyone have any other suggestions that are kinds of spices or consumables starting with S?

Basil is out, we recently had a foster kitty with that name.

So if we go with consumables we are thinking of Whisky or,

if they are all spices starting with S we like the name Sage. What do you think?

Here is a picture of him:

(Granted we haven't met him yet - we are just throwing around ideas)

I would have to take the word "Nice" and try it out in as many languages as possible after all your home will be Sugar and Spice and everything Nice!!

Very pretty boy !

I agree that Willow is kind of femimine. Sage is, too, to me (I have a niece named Sage). Going with the consumable names, I like Whiskey. Or how about Barley or Hops? Spice wise, how about Oregano, and call him Reggie? Or Dill or Thyme? Gosh, he looks like such a sweetie!

What about Cilantro? :P Or Savory? Or Sauce? :P (Which pulls in whiskey, too. As in 'Hittin' the sauce' *snicker*)

Sage si a kinda feminine name but not overly so. Will see what other s-spicess I can think of when I'm not out the door to work.

i like the name sage because it has more than one meaning Big Smile

 1: having wisdom that comes with age and experience
     2: of the gray-green color of sage leaves [syn: sage-green]
     n 1: a mentor in spiritual and philosophical topics who is
          renowned for profound wisdom
     2: aromatic fresh or dried gray-green leaves used widely as
        seasoning for meats and fowl and game etc
     3: any of various plants of the genus Salvia; cosmopolitan
        [syn: salvia]

if you are thinking of Whiskey then what about Scotch or maybe Guinness since he is black and tan?

he reminds me a little of the dog my grandmother had. his name was Sue (as in A Boy named Sue from the Johnny Cash song) only difference was Sue wasnt as fluffy and had a more burly appearance because he was part rotti.

I like Sage! His colouring makes him look very distinguished and so "Sage" (also being wise) kind of fits.

His colouring also makes me thing of Pepper.

BRB - just going to look in our spice cupboard!

......

back! More suggestions: GINGER and CLOVE. Smile

We got to meet Willow today! He is as beautiful in person as he is in the picures! And, he gets along GREAT with Max! I am soooooo excited!

Another throught came to mind. Sugar and Spice (our cats) are both girls. What if we kepts our male dogs with 'M' names. Since Max came with his and we kept it.

Dose anyone have any 'M' name suggestions?
