Help me pick a cute doggie name!

[Vega {★}]

Here I am again asking for help with names!!

 

I am adopting a new puppy (picking her up tomorrow, squee!), and I need help naming her! I already have one pooch, named Bettie (what else?!), and the new puppy is another girl, so I want something that follows the Bettie theme; a really cute 50's-sounding girl's name :) I have looked at a few 50's names lists, but nothing really jumps out at me as the perfect dog name. I'd like it it to be 1-2 syllables for ease of calling/training.

 

So far the top of my list includes Rosie (as in 'the riveter'), Ava, Shirley, Lorraine, Audrey... Also considering Patsy, Debbie, Judy, Wendy, Ruby... On a side note, my boyfriend is worried about the name sounding "too old lady." He feels this way about Ruby and some others *rolls eyes* But we've been living together for 3 years and it's his dog too, so I guess he has a say in her name XD

 

I'm looking less for votes, and more for INSPIRATION! Maybe there's a perfect name out there somewhere that I just haven't thought of yet, so give it all you've got! Thanks!

Update! I just thought of Dita.... Bettie and Dita, how cute is that! Still looking for more suggestions, but so far I'm liking Dita...

Maude

Edith

Dorris

Opal

Lucy

And then a few three and four syllable ones;

Tallulah

Beatrice

Cordelia

Ophelia

 

I could go on all day...

So, what kinda doggy is it?!

The bf has vetoed Rosie :(

 

I'm deciding between Ava and Dita so far unless I see a new name that really strikes me!

 

She's a small mix. Her dad was a Shi-Tzu and her mom was a Chihuahua mix. Her fur is somewhat plush, somewhat wire-y. I'm thinking the plush coat is just puppy fur and she'll grow into a full wire-hair :) My dog Bettie is also a wire-haired mutt! I love scruffy pooches!

I love the name Ava :)

Cupcake ;) or Kitty, lol. I've heard of people naming their pets kitty if its a dog and they go 'here kitty kitty' and the people around them expect to see a cat but its a dog :p

Lucy! Also, tell your boyfriend that old people names are adorable on dogs. So says my pit bull, Arthur.

Sunny: that's cute, but I'm looking for a 50's name that matches Bettie

 

Louisa: Lucy is a SUPER common dog name. Having worked with animals for the past few years, I know not to name my dog Lucy, Lola, Bella, Max, Cooper, or Eddie. =P

 

Thanks everyone, we're still deciding and looking for more inspiration! (We are very indecisive...) A new name has entered the running too: Evie. Out of nowhere, lol

[Kiti Kobain]

Bettie and to match Monroe
