Help me name him!

[butlerfan]

Well we got approved! He is about 4 years old male Halvenese mix. They have him down as Atlas but he was found wondering the streets a week ago. No one has claimed him and he likes to cuddle and is very friendly and playful. I have to call to see when we can pick up but earliest is Friday at 4 due to him getting looked over by a vet and having a spa day that a volunteer pays for.

Oh butlerfan, he looks so sweet! I'm terrible with names so hopefully other people will have some good ideas. So happy for you guys!

We had good friends that had a dog named Charlie that they had to put down at a young age due to an incurable disease so this is a no go.

H thinks he looks like a Benji

He is a sweetheart from the 20 minutes we played with him yesterday. At least we will have him to keep us occupied while we wait for a call. And now we can update our caseworker tomorrow that we will have a dog.

He is so cute! I like the name Benji, but I also like Atlas. Benji sounds more like a dog name though.

[butlerfan]

I'm still stuck on Gizmo from the other dog that I came up with.

[BabyStandish]

Frodo! lol

FYI - If your state has similar rules to mine, your caseworker will probably need to meet the dog in person. They want to make sure any animals in your house have good temperaments and will be safe to have around children.

So cute! I also like Atlas. Gizmo sounds like a smaller dog's name.

Probably. we did tell them we were looking for a dog so they are aware that at some point there will be a dog. We may just have to have another meeting for our case worker to meet him.

He's cute! I like the name Atlas for him, actually. Also love the Frodo suggestion. I'll think of some more...

I love Atlas. It's a gp name for me. :)

Like it but is my brother's last name so veoting that.

[butlerfan]

I know too many people's dog with the name Bailey so as much as I like that name I have to veto that one as well.

I like Baxter, Benji, and Duke

[PirateCat]

He is adorable, I love him!

Oreo?

I feel like that is such a common dog name (along with Teddy-sorry) and generic that I feel like I have to pass on that.

And I'm laughing at myself....help me name him...oh wait I don't want that name...lol

[bex15]

Baxter is really cute butlerfan!

Ha Ha and our caseworker's name is Kevin as well....(and he has an uncle named Kevin)....so do not need to confuse anyone any more than necessary there.
