Name my dog

Now for the cat lovers, Mrs. K brought home these adorable fluffballs a couple days ago:

Please welcome, L to R (I think, I can't tell the three orange ones apart):

Ripon, Pickett, Fisk, & Oshkosh

So I guess your Fisk arrival wasn't that traumatic....or is it just a reminder so you don't try it again.

I figured I'll be able to remember the year I tried it :biggrin:
 
Winnie Mae has been with me for a few years.
It was pretty easy to decide an aviation themed name for her. Winnie Mae.jpg
 
We had a cat named Tango.

Well, my wife had her (the cat) before I met her (my wife). And named her Tango. So clearly it was meant to be.

Don't know about dogs, but the local airport had two cats, one named FSDO and the other Taildragger.

At a rural airport in PA, I stopped for fuel and the airport manager walked over, trailed by two dogs. I asked what their names were - Pitot and Static, or a couple of other pairs of aviation terms I've since forgotten... Their names were Pratt and Whitney.

At KCAD there was a very happy dog who was constantly wagging his tail vigorously... His name was Rudder.

Hah... My cousin has a dog named Schrodie.

It's actually been fun introducing them. The kittens hiss and swipe and Tango is so excited to play he pees on the floor.

I was thinking that since he looks German, maybe you could name him Messerschmidt, shortened to "Messer" if he pees on the floor too much. :rofl:
 
I had a friend that named his dog Nama - so he could say: "Nama stay". That's funny in certain neighborhoods.

I wanted to name our current dog Rudder, but my wife vetoed it. She doesn't like any part of my plane and she's very fond of the dog. So it goes...
 
Dogs respond best to distinct two-syllable names. I sort of like "Archer."

Kareem Fahmi on the old Red Board used to have a dog named Flaps. I always thought that was a cool dog name, particularly when you call out “Flaps Up!” Or “Flaps Down!”

Could do the same with Gear
 
I wanted to name my dog Whiskey, but living in Utah, were afraid of offending. So continued the trend of naming our dogs after famous skiers. He is Bode, (Bo dee) after Bode Miller. My son finished a race once on one ski, just like Bode did (not on purpose, but it happens). Bode hangs out with his brother Theodor "Stein" (Stein Eriksen) who ski'd up to me and my wife on the slopes of Deer Valley one day and started a chat. Of all the things I didn't realize it was Stein until he ski'd away, and his form, even in his elder years, was unmistakable.

My wife is on the way home with a dog. Male Norwegian Elkhound. Said dog needs a name. I suggested "Eman1200", but Teresa says no. Her suggestion was "Malcom"(Reynolds). I also suggested "Archer", which the 11 year old really likes. The oldest suggested "Doc" which is my favorite so far, and the nine year old is really set on "Boeing" for some reason.

Name must be no more than two syllables and yellable. Bonus points for aviation-tangent names. Not doing "Cessna", "Beech", or "Mooney". "Piper" feels too girly.

I like "Mutley" .. just don't know why
 
I'm amazed at how this thread keeps popping up.

We should've named him Lucky.

After the first week, he ran away. Luckily one of the neighbors caught him.

Then the found a box of rat poison that I didn't know we had in the shed. Luckily I caught him chewing on it. Made him puke. Didn't see any sign of it. Might've been an empty box. Anyway, no ill effects.

Then a week ago, he accompanied the kids out to wait for the school bus like every morning. Something possessed him to run out in the road and he got hit by a car right in front of all five of them. The 15yo says he went under the car and got tossed out the side. He got up and ran off. Driver never stopped. You can imagine the shock to the kids. Took him to the vet.... No damage.

One lucky effing dog.
