We bought a puppy.
As excited as I am about it, I know that no dog will ever compare to my dear Studley, so I am a bit sad.
Sad that our Studley story is officially over.
*sniff*
The puppy is less than 4 weeks old so we have another month until he comes to our home forever and ever, but our family is having some disagreements....
...major disagreements.
The name.
So I am bringing it here for all of you to decide for us thankyouverymuch,
Purebred German Shepherd.
Here is the Mommy.
She is busy raising 6 busy puppies right now, but still is the prettiest doggy Mama I have ever seen.
Our puppy is a male.
Having 5 people trying to agree on the name is impossible and I fear that our family may go our separate ways before the pup even comes home.
Here are the choices.
*Bronson
*Massey
*Fergus
*Jersey
*Cooper
*Copper
*Sawyer
*Angus
*Guinness
*Tyson
Please....pretty please...I am begging you to give us your opinion and choose only the names I love {which I have been forbidden to divulge}, so I can convince my family that they are the best. My family wants to name this poor dog "Burger" and I will run away to a deserted island with this dog before that happens.
You're welcome.

Oh poor family. Don't you know that a name is more than just a name? They live up to that name. Do you really want a dog that will live up to the name "burger"??? No. Didn't think so. But Angus or Cooper? those are fine fine names!
I like Guinness! I think that's way cute :) We had a German Shepherd once and she was hands down the best dog we ever had. Love them!
At first I read booger. That would be funny! not really. I like Sawyer. And Guinness [Though it's Irish].
Ok, first off- how and why is the daddy dog famous?!
Angus sounds to much like anus- so rule that one out. Copper is from a Disney movie so I'm guessing that one is sweet Princess' pick. Tyson was a boxer- one of the boys wants that name?
My top 3 favorites IN ORDER:
1. Bronson
2. Jersey
3. Guinness (This one will sound AWESOME with your accent but it is not my #1 pick.)
Shepherds are such great dogs! I really like Cooper--fun, playful, yet a stand-up kinda name! Good luck with naming your pup.
Cooper is the winner in my book! That may have something to do with my awesome pup's name being Cooper, but ya know :) its great for training too. Trainers recommend a hard sound at the start of a name so when scolding a misbehaving pup it comes out fast and sharp (like a bark from momma).
I like Bronson and Cooper the best. Guinness is also great.
German Shepherds, when very well trained, make excellent dogs.
Jersey!! That's my vote:)
Even though I am a (south) Jersey girl - he looks like a Fergus to me!
I think you stand out side and yell each name and that will choose it.
If that doesn't work, I like Angus and Fergus best.
My vote goes to either Bronson or Cooper.....
I like copper and sawyer. Trying yelling it a few times and see how it feels :) Sometimes you just have to bring them home and see what fits them---good luck!
Copper! :)
I think all those choices are very nice but I like it when pet names are decidedly pet-like as opposed to human-like. So my vote would be for Guiness.
Good luck and please save him from Burger.
I like: Bronson
I like Fergus.
I really like the name Bronson. Beautiful doggies! We have three puppy dogs. :)
I think the Jersey is the best name! :)
Bronson is a strong name for a strong dog like that. I like that one and Jersey the best.
I like Cooper and Angus. And we're thinking about getting a second puppy soon too!
Looks like I'm not the only one who likes Cooper!!!
First choice: Cooper. Second choice: Bronson. Whatever the name, your pup is going to be stunning. German Shepherds are one of my favorite breeds, and Mom and Dad are both elegant. What fun to anticipate a puppy!
Great choice for a family pet.
1. Fergus
2. Fergus
3. Fergus
My opinion, longer names tend to get shortened. General rule that helps with this is to keep the name to no more than two syllables.
We just went through this same thing! We adopted a female puppy a few weeks ago and our family of 6 could not agree on her name. I fought hard for Eleanor, Vivian, or Luna, but the guys didn't like those names. We finally settled on Piper.
From your list I really love Copper.
We have two GSDs and the only stipulation my husband had with names was that they be one syllable. He feels it's easier to call them and they learn their names faster. Anyway, Sioux and Buck it was.
I personally wanted Cochise instead of Buck, but I didn't win that one.
I have a cat named Angus and love the name, so that's would I would go with.
I like the name "Cooper" because it simply rolls off the tongue quick and easy. I also like the name "Riley" and ... our shepherd's name was "Hunter". ;D
Jersey and Cooper are striking me as good dog names! Good luck!
Guiness. He's totally the color of the beer! Right!?! I mean he has to be, look at his 'rents!
Congrats! :)
