I am a paragon of refinement and sophistication.)<BR/><BR/>I voted for Poppy, but I also like Gertie. I'm a little meh about Rosie, it sounds like someone's little old granny to me. I know Pippi Longstocking was a redhead, but for some reason Pippi screams blond to me (yeah, I'm weird). It's so SWEDISH. Birdie is weird to me because it's calling one animal another (I get calling a cat Dog or Mouse or something, it just seems weird to me for dogs). Hildy - well, it's very Valkyrie to me. Ruby and Lucy are nice, though. <BR/><BR/>(And obviously if you pick any of the names I've just dissed I won't hold it against you!)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15231380.post-10329384604080982522008-03-12T18:22:00.000-04:002008-03-12T18:22:00.000-04:00also mitigates against itArgh.

Hmm...<BR/><BR/>And Meg, yes, well, I'm not surprised there are a lot of Rosies out there. I also have a friend with a daughter named Rosa, so maybe that also mitigates against it. If she isn't already responding to Rowan, that leaves things wide open.

Congrats, Dr. V!<BR/><BR/>I don't feel comfortable weighing in on someone else's name, but I will say this, from my secret life as a trainer or co-trainer of many dogs: I've never had so much success with names as with those that have at least one syllable headed by a hard consonant. Two is even better. No idea why. Might vary by breed, but I've worked mostly with hunters of various sorts, so, for what it's worth.<BR/><BR/>Best of luck with your new baby -- if her heart's as beautiful as her coat, stance, everything about her, you're in for one fabulous dog!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15231380.post-48427340475293439802008-03-12T17:48:00.000-04:002008-03-12T17:48:00.000-04:00I know five people in Sprinklerville alone who hav...I know five people in Sprinklerville alone who have dogs named Rosie; I would like to think that she is a dog not like any other.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15231380.post-59927480024730738712008-03-12T16:48:00.000-04:002008-03-12T16:48:00.000-04:00i second what k said and also voted for rosie. wil...i second what k said and also voted for rosie. wiley votes for "mrs. kittenheads" and would like to meet her as soon as possible. congrats! i am excited for you as well as for rosie, because i know what a good home she is going to!The Pastry Piratehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05503433773635525726noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15231380.post-35809342326981161172008-03-12T15:12:00.000-04:002008-03-12T15:12:00.000-04:00She's beautiful!
