If none of those names above took your fancy, then a great trick is to simply write down a short list of things that you find cool.

Then pick some characters, words or ideas that go with it and that appeal to you. If you collect ideas over the next week or two, one of them is bound to leap off your page at some point!

  4. I’m getting a Boston Terrier puppy next week and I’m teying to decide between names. First after an old cartoon “Elmer Fudd” lol… Then bc he is almost totally black wuth just a littlebwhite I thought “Blackey” or bc I am a diehard Chicago Cubs fan and my favorite first baseman name is “Mark Grace” I could call him Mark or Grace or his nickname on the Cubs that has stuck with him is “Gracie” or our last first baseman was “Anthony Rizzo”. Also I am proud to be Dutch and I collect wooden shoes so I thought of “Woody Two Shoes”… if you like any of these let me know. Oh I even thought of “Oreo Cookie”…
