[esheato]

I picked up a black lab puppy last night and I'm stumped as to what to name it.

I want to give it a gun name, but I'm weak and can't come up with anything besides 'Trigger.' I know ya'll can help me out.

esheato...

[Valkman]

Hmmm, "Kimber TLE"? :D AR? Full-Auto? Um, Norinco? Heh.

Man, this is hard! :p

Makarov? Colt? Brown Bess? Thompson? SKS? Smith?

Now my brain is frazzeled - have to go to bed! :D

[Morgan]

Remington (Remmy?).
Winchester.
Savage :) .
Colt.
Ruger.
Freedom.

[noklue3]

How 'bout "Stoner"........ as in Eugene Stoner of AR15/M16 fame, the designer of the evil BLACK rifle.

Art

[OEF_VET]

Beretta
Barrett
Commander (as in Colt Commander)
Magnum
Blackhawk
Remington
Winchester

Or, get a second one (so he'll have a play mate), then name one Smith and the other Wesson.

[Preacherman]

In all seriousness (although I know it sounds daft), think about one thing. I know of an incident locally where a citizen was almost shot by police over his dog. The dog was threatening to attack a cop who had just pulled into the drive (on some totally legitimate, innocent reason - interviewing or something, I forget which). The citizen called his dog off, saying "Colt! Here!" The LEO thought the citizen was telling someone to bring him his Colt, and drew his sidearm immediately... Funny once everyone sorted out what was going on, but potentially tragic under the wrong circumstances. Just a thought...

[Nando Aqui]

A guideline for naming dogs that some people forget is to make it short; one syllable is preferred, but definitely not more than two. Reason? Obviously - to make it easy to call the dog quickly and easily.

Best would be names such as Gun, Colt, Bolt, Sig, and FAL (as a word - there is a thread in the FalFiles about how to pronounce this - interesting!) >> http://www.falfiles.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=22105&highlight=pronounce

Next would be names as Heckler, Wesson, AR, AK, FN, etc.

Enjoy your dog regardless of what you name it!

"Gun name for a dog"
I would name the pooch "Velo" as in the old "Velo-dog" revolver.

Don in Ohio

[glockten]

When I was a boy, one of my favorite dogs was a beagle mix named "Bullet".

[Detritus]

I would name the pooch "Velo" as in the old "Velo-dog" revolver

knowing what that gun/round was marketed for. (Velo-dog pistols and the .22 velo-dog round were sold as anti-dog rounds for use by bicyclists) i just couldn't do it.

[kentucky bucky]

You will be running around in your neighborhood screaming this name, ( I'll almost guarantee you) more than one time, if the pup is like the dogs I've had. Even a well behaved dog can get distracted once in a while. I always take this into consideration when naming a pet. I actually holler the name as if I were looking for a lost dog to see if it sounds ridiculous. Get in on the name game before your wife chooses one for you.;)

[Janson]

Tenifer

[tex_n_cal]

Actually, I had a Rottweiler named "Mauser":D There was a famous champion Rott some years ago named Luger.

since no one I think has yet said, "Parker" I will nominate it, since it's an American shotgun and he's an American bird dog.:D

[Baba Louie]

Boy or girl? Most that follow seem to be boy type names, not that the dog will care...

Marshall (Dillon)
Deputy Dawg
Shooter
Shotgun
John Moses (Browning)
Sam (Colt)
Horace (Smith) or Daniel (Wesson)
Citori (could be a girls name)
Buckmark
Plinker
Weatherby (I like that one for a name a lot, but the rifles are kinda too pretty and expensive)
Purdy
H&H
Fanner 50 (showing my age there)
Garand (pronounce like parent)
Duke (an old standby)
Annie Oakley (obviously a girl's name)
Wyatt
Birdshot
High Road

That's enough fun for now.

Let us know your final selection (or whittle it down to three - five and have a poll) and post a photo if ya can, please.

Adios

[DF357]

Is it a good dog ? Does it do what you want ?

If no, name him Raven or Phoenix !

If he's a good dog, will fight for you and never waivers, name him Charleton or Heston.

[bigmtnman]

If it was as dumb as a retriever I once had I'd name it 'Headspace'.;)

I'd like to introduce you to Ruger.

http://www.thehighroad.org/attachment.php?s=&postid=86448

She's been with me now for going on 7 years. She named herself. When I found her, she was lying on top of a Ruger Blackhawk revolver as her former owner was being arrested.

[SJ]

I hate to give away my kids names before I have any, but for gun-related names that only the hardcore will get, Ogive and Meplat are hard to beat.

One day, Preban might have a certain nostalgic charm too.

[OneShot]

I like "High road" as suggested. You could call him "High" for short.

[tex_n_cal]

Alright Mike, ya made me do it...

Mauser:

http://www.thehighroad.org/attachment.php?s=&postid=423552

[esheato]

Wow, I didn't expect such a response...You will have to forgive me if I take a day or two to mull the options over....although I like the idea of a poll with my favorite 3 or 5 names..hmmm...decisions, decisions...

esheato...;)

[Sisco]

No matter what you eventually call it, if it turns out your dog does't hunt well, rename it Lorcin or HiPoint.

What do you call a dog with no legs?

Don't matter, he can't come anyhow.


Sorry, just couldn't resist. :D

[4v50 Gary]

Mike,

Is that Ruger as in Roo-ger or Rue-guerre (with a nasal French accent)? Now, a name like Mauser, there's no trouble in pronouncing that.

Sorry, Mike, I couldn't resist. :D

Gary

[10-Ring]

My neighbor named his one of his lab puppies Smith, the other Wesson.

[Gabby Hayes]

kaBOOM! :D

[Keith]

Name it Sarah, or Brady, Hillary, Feinstein, Schumer - some anti name so you can enjoy it when the dog does something wrong: "Bad Schumer! bad dog! Hold still while I rub your nose in that...."

There are some great ideas and names listed here, I tell ya. Gotta remember this thread for future use. Cat, Dog or dreaded Assault Weasel, they're all good choices.

But, what if this dog is to be papered ala A.K.C. (There's that name A.K. again) and needs some long and lordly sounding moniker? Could you just combine three or four of these compounded into something that means... esheato's black lab?

"esheato's The Duke A.K. Four Seven of Winchester-Paterson" or sumsuch and then call him Magnum when he's around friends.

We gotta see a photo soon, please. Black Labs are such fine friends.

Adios

[yesterdaysyouth]

i like beretta.... but more than likely it would be, that damn dog, most of the time....

[ed dixon]

Ma has an eight-year-old Akita named Magnum. She thought it was cute. He likes seven people, everyone else is an intruder. Looks strong. Is much stronger. "Get the magnum!" Be careful what you wish for. Even the vet's scared.

[Bostonterrier97]

Bullet

"Heater". I always liked that name for a dog.

K

[mussi]

One of my buddies called his dog "Rafale" (for "gust of wind"), and the dog behaves like that - friendlies have their faces cleaned, perps find out a bit more about the dog feeding times usually. :)

[kudu]

Can't believe that no one threw the name 'Hawken' out there. Classic black powder name.

[shooten]

I didn't read the whole thread this time but "KB" or "Boomer" sound good.

[Mike Irwin]

"Is that Ruger as in Roo-ger or Rue-guerre (with a nasal French accent)? Now, a name like Mauser, there's no trouble in pronouncing that."

She barks it with a Scots accent.

She's a Border Collie, after all.

[esheato]

Here she is. I can't decide.

[coldshot03/04]

Looks like a "Mak" to me.:) Cute little pup.;)
or Black Shadow. like the Winchester Black Shadow shotgun.

[Camel]

Puppies are so cute.

I say line up all your guns in front of the dog and name her after whichever one she decides to chew on.

[Flashpoint]

Here's a pic of my Black Lab, Duke. Got him out of a pound about a 3 days before they were going to put him down. He's been the best dog I've ever had. He's also the biggest baby I have ever seen.

http://img.villagephotos.com/p/2003-4/148376/XBWEPGRUXDDJLXOXUNLR-littleduke.JPG

[Valkman]

Roscoe!

I can't believe I didn't think of that last night! :D

Shadow! Shadows are forever black, and they follow you everywhere. Hopefully she will too. I'd name her Shadow.

I had a black Lab and all of her family were named with "Shadow" somewhere in the name, so we named her "Miss Midnight Shadow" or "Midnight" for short. :)

[LiquidTension]

I've never thought to give a pet a gun related name. You guys are addicts. Wait, I am too :uhoh: I don't have any pets yet, but there will be a dog (blue heeler) and a cat in the future. Already got the names picked out:

Dog: Pavlov
Cat: Schrodinger

As far as gun related names for your dog, Mak seems to fit nicely for some reason. Maybe because it's small and black?

[Viking Warrior]

I named my dog "Howie" after Howie Long the Linebacker from the Raiders, He just looked like him as a puppy..

http://a7.cpimg.com/image/D5/7A/10915797-d00e-01B00120-.jpg
He is a great Pheasant hunting buddy..Have shotgun, will travel...

[MMcCall]

Mine's Howie too, but short for howitzer.. if you've ever seen an overzealous Belgian Malinois go after someone in a bite suit, you know where the name comes from ;)

[BowStreetRunner]

if you like winchester you can just name him that and call him Chester for short
its kinda cute
IMO
thats what i named my new betta fish
BSR

[MountainPeak]

Black dog=Gaston or GG(Gaston Glock)

[MicroBalrog]

Mc-Ninety

[gryphon]

As for a name, what about Gryphon?

Mike,
With those big ears, you should have called the dog RADAR! :D

[Dr.Rob]

Are you a Winchester fan?

She looks like a hunting dog to me.

How about "Ranger"

Good looking pup.

When we had registered dogs they had names a mile long that didn't necessarily have anything to do with their "real" names. Ie "Williams' Friend Samrod" = "Sam. Vona's Colorado Lady" = Freckles, "Bob's bear Essential" = Bear.

In the same way: "Esheato's Ladysmith Black Revolver" = "Lady"

[esheato]

Well, it's official. The new name is Baer and I'm sure you can guess where I got my inspiration from.

I want to thank everyone for their suggestions...some that I considered were Moses after JMB, Thompson, Colt and Mauser.

esheato...

[MountainPeak]

Your dog would be much lower maintenance if you would have went with my "Gaston". Probably not as classy though!:)

[AmericanFreeBird]

Redhawk?

[Sactown]

Good name for your dog is Deeoji, it's not Japanese.

[Gewehr98]

But we settled on Quinn for our Chowbrador:



http://mauser98.com/mightyquinn.jpg


And Bernie for our Curr Hound-Border Collie mix:


http://mauser98.com/berniewetnose.jpg

Bernie's gotten to be really big, the other day he brought me an empty .30 cal ammo can. Not that I asked him to... :what:

[veloce851]

I was going to say Mauser.... and come to think of it. Since a Mauser was my first firearm (M2 in .45ACP) I'll be naming my first dog (always been a cat person) Mauser :)

BTW Baer's a cute pup. May he live long and jolly.

[Stevie-Ray]

This is one of my gorgeous Tonks, this one a Bluepoint named "Gunner."

[Bigjake]

Mine's named "luger" which fits for a big ol GERMAN shepard. for a lab, how bout barret (sp), what better name than one of a man who has some huge steel cajones politicaly, and makes awesome, massive rifles?

nevermind, baer it is, and a cute pup indeed!

[Thumper]

Here's my tactical Rott, Tank. He's only 5 mos., but dang he's cute.

Good dog! Good dog! Remington loaded up his own magazine!

[ElToro]

my fiance' works at a vet clinic and she has some customers with gun dogs.. the (real) names i like best are " Ruger " and " Limit "

[Holiday]

I had a beautiful yellow Lab that I named "Ruger". After someone stole him, I got a Jack Russel and named it "Marlin". I think those work out real well.:D

[axeman_g]

her call name is Hannah ... but her real name is something like " you F^&$^N stupid dog, stop pointing filed mice"

Hence FN
