My wife and I decided that adding a second German Shorthaired Pointer to the family would be a better idea than adding a third child! We're set to get our new addition(female) in the spring. My wife keeps asking me what we're going to name her. So far, we decided it needs to be an aviation themed name but we can't come up with anything. Piper is out because ironically, the dam is named Piper. Anyone have any creative name ideas?????

Cleco (I'm a builder)
Windsock? (if he farts a lot)
Peeponk?
Widgeon?
Haircoupe?
uh... Snoopy?

Tailspin

If it's a pointer, then an aviation pointer would be a Vortac. (ADF would be a little lame)

Since it's a girl...:

Amelia (Earhart) would be a nice name if you're an aviation history buff.
Jacqueline (Cochran) would also address aviation history.
Pancho (Barnes) would be appropriate if the dog is a hell-raiser and rabble-rouser.

Fokker
Fits the aviation and Germanic heritage and its gonna to be a little Fokker at some time.

with ears like that could call it flap!

chandelle?
electra?
Cheyenne?
dutchess?
tally ho?
kilo niner?

We always wait until the new family member is in the house before we find an appropriate name.

Their names were: Muffin, Skylar, Tiggi, Apache, Joy, Pearl, and Bongo.

Let's see, she is a pointer, so: GPS or Garmin? Waypoint?

For sure, make it a name that the dog can understand, even if you shorten it from time to time, and one that you'll use, too. Not much good to name a dog one thing and then call her something else all the time.

Reminds me of the poster in one of the stores downtown, showing a cartoonish dog with his paw raised, captioned "Hello, my name is No-No-Bad-Dog!"

Our GWP's are Rambeau and Kd. No aviation theme

My other half's old GSP was Cruiser (or Cruze), which happens to also be my favorite plane.

We're getting a female Brittany puppy in about a month. I wanted to name her Pancho, after Pancho Barnes, but the rest of the family wasn't quite as keen.

Compass

Come on, Jered! Cessna sounds about right, doesn't it?

Brent

Clyde after Clyde Cessna

"No-Dammit-Get Down!!!" seems to work for most dogs.

Gump

Spinner.
Astro
Jet

MERLIN

I've been thinking 'jet' or 'cessna' until I heard Fokker. "Down Fokker, down!" That's got a nice ring to it I'm not sure it would be good to have 4 and 5 year old boys calling Fokker the dog though. Thank you for all the ideas. I'm realizing a boy would be easier to name but I'm set on another girl.

We named our Golden Retriever Aero, as in the old fashioned way of spelling Aeroplane!

There was a lady air racer in the nineteen twenties named Marvel Crosson. She was apparently quite a wild child and adventurer. She died in a plane crash in 1929 while racing in an air race.

Marvel might make a pretty good name for a girl doggie, it relates well to flying but won't sound silly to most of the people who won't know the connection.

My newest critter came with a name already and my daughter picked him out for me because he sort of kept the pattern of names going, I have had really good dogs named Bear, Badger, and now Bandit.
