Hi!

We are due to pick up our puppy next Wednesday. She is an adorable golden retriever crossed with a goldendoodle. Everything is set for her arrival but the only thing we don't have is a name!

Could anyone help to inspire us? OH doesn't want a 'human' name.

I quite liked noodles and biscuit but he said no to both! I've trawled the websites for ideas but I'm coming up short.

Thanks in advance!

    Thank you! I was wondering if I should leave it until we got her to pick.

    We couldn't agree between Ripple and Daisy.

    So when we got her home, two bits of paper on the floor, she picked Ripple.

    Suits her as a chocolate poodle

    Heinz is a good name for a mongrel. (And I have absolutely nothing against mongrels, by the way.)

    Whatever name you choose consider if you will happy calling out her name in the public park.

    A friend regretted calling his dog Honey when he needed to call out 'Honey come here' in the dark at the park.
