Naming The Tramplings

The Tramplings need names. Calling them 'The Boy', 'The Black Girl", "Baby Tramp" and 'Icecube' (she caught us by surprise, was born outside and took a bit of warming up once we got her in!!!) isn't cutting it anymore.

I've been through a number of themes including witches (people keep telling me they will grow into those names and I'll regret it), Dawson City characters (girl names are too 'plain') and Robert Service characters (better for a boy heavy litter) - right now we are leaning towards 'Brand names of footwear' (I'm saving 'types of footwear' for another litter).

Leading the pack right now is NEO for the boy and Skechers for one of the girls, with Puma, Reebok, Nike and Croc being considered for the other girls.

Any suggestions??

"Please help us get our own names!!"

Hi Karen:

I have one of Wolvie/Jive pups...Kicker! I like the name Patton (for black patton shoes) or sneeker! There's also Pump, Airwalk and Slingback!

Sorel- the boots that took me to see my first Iditarod ;)

Unknown said...

IMHO, the "Icecube" name is too cute to give up.

How about other "forms" of water for the rest ...

Steam
Slush
Overflow
Tsunami (sad, but timely)
Wave
Glacier

BTW, they are adorable!

Lots of really great shoe brands mentioned. Many of them would make good names. I haven't see Saucony, Diadora or Asics mentioned yet.
All great athletic wear shoes.

I wear UGGS - but what a sad name for such superstar pups!

I'm wearing "Racihle" boots right now. Another name I see missing is "Danner" of which I have another pair of boots. And some "Addidas" tennis shoes I will change in to. I like Danner - could be Danny for the male or Dannie for a female. Addidas (Addy) might be a nice call name.
Thanks for sharing the Tramplings.

Ecco
Addidas (love the Addy nickname)
Crocs (how could we do without them?
and
Ariat, the toughest and most comfortable boots around.

PLEASE...anything BUT Skecher! My little one was named Skecher by the nice folks at Adopt a Husky, and we REALLY had to change it. He never answered to it, he likes his new name MUCH better. Kodi just suits him better. Madden, Addidas, Ecco,Timberland....all sound pretty good, though Icecube is pretty cute still. :o)

What about paying tribute to Iditarod volunteers that have particular significance for you or have done exemplary work over the years that you thing deserve recognition like Norma & Joe Delia of Skwentna or Deborah Menendes that runs the Nome HQ. I'm sure you know stax of men and women. These pups can be known as the Iditarod Volunteer Pups

Many years ago, we had a top show bitch here in Oz called Nike. Loved her name!! Here it is pronounced 'Ni Kee'..
Like Uggs too..what a neat name for a tough little pup!!

CJ says go for a football theme!!! LOL

I personally love "Ryka" - great shoe brand for women.

Brandi Williamson said...

If you go with the shoe theme I really like Keen and Teva!

But I'm a fan of the water theme because, like Heather said it's too cute to give up!

Mary said...

I vote to keep "Icecube" and the water theme. Some more name ideas.. Snowflake, Sleet, Drizzle (my top pick), Hail.

For a shoe theme I saw Steger on a post and they call their boots "Mukluks".

Williesmom said...

I like Asolo and Merrell for my favorite hiking boots.

Louise said...

I'm with Kyrie on this one. They need good Inuit names.

Karen Ramstead said...

Siberians aren't an Inuit breed - no Inuit names here!

Anniegirl said...

I like the football idea - go CFL, Western Teams - Lion, Stamp, Eskie, Rider, Bomber

Shoes - Rockport

Bark_Sweetly said...

This little sweetie looks like a "Sly" to me. The kind of puppy that would say let's see what we can get into next.

Jane Eagle said...

I also like Icecube...and if you don't want to use witch names, how about Camelot names? Arthur; Guenevere (Gwennie), Morgan,
Vivienne,
Iseult (Izzy),
Avalon

I agree with sparkeespud...my Merrel hiking shoes were some of the best I've ever owned...very sturdy and dependable, just like a good sled dog!!

Unknown said...

Zack, Sadie and Bandit think you should name these guys and gals after them! They are sponsors!

Annalisa Hamilton said...

how about Thor?

Tony Torrez said...

I've seen a lot of good choices for puppy names so I'd only be echoing some of the other posters.

But I found one post that made my day - it was a combination of the poster's name and what she suggested.

Annika suggested Prada. Why did that stand out? Well, I had a Siberian who past away a year ago last August. But she is survived by 3 litters. Her name? Annika! And one of her daughters from her 2nd litter? You got it - Prada!

Thanks Annika for posting that! You made my day!

Considering who their mother is, how is that no thought of Hush Puppy?

There's the upcoming Hobbit film: you've got 13 Dwarves to choose from : Fili, Kil, Ori, Dori, Nori, Bifur, Bofur, Bombur, Oin, Gloin, Balin, Dwalin, and Thorin Oakenshield...

then there's a bunch of swell names in the Hunger Games, though that's a bit more dystopian... personally I'd rather run around in Middle Earth...
