Author | Topic : What's your naming theme and why? | |||

this post has been edited 1 time(s) Mine's Country song titles and occasionally I name one after a song I adore that's not Country or a song/poem I've written myself. I'm a Country Junkie and have been naming my dogs after them since starting SD. It's been so much fun!
I thought it might be interesting to see other people's theme. Alexandria ----- Last edited by Laffy-Taffy Kennels on 8/5/2013 10:12:58 AM |

I have no real theme in here, but in my other kennel, all my dogs are named in Italian or have the names of Greek gods. |

Ooooh, I like that idea...Greek gods. I still love my Country song titles more, though. Alexandria |

In this kennel, all my Eskie's were state capitals. Now I'm starting a new theme, trying to find one that's not so cliche. In Everkai my gen 1 was spanish names and my gen 2s were ...gah can't remember the region. |

In this kennel all my paps will be named after varieties of roses, after all I have worked at a green house for the past 3 years. And the general pic for the paps is a photo of my favorite rose. In my Rottie kennel the theme is naming them after race horses. My other 3 kennels don't have a theme, and not sure if i'll go with one or not yet. Becky |

I combine the sire and dams name until there is no way left to twist it, then I change to what ever comes to mind at the time. |

I started doing themes with my litters but it after a year or so, it got to be a hassle trying to come up with ones. Now my litters are alphabetical - that way I can tell age of the dogs (no longer a problem with the new look) and which are from the same litter. Other than that, they are usually Celtic, Gaelic, or English names. |

Working on trait breeding in this kennel as well as producing show quality dogs. Show dogs are quite random but thanks to Becky (Rosewynds), I am now going with the "Fugly" theme on the projects. -Creed |

This is the only kennel I follow themes in. Often, I subconsciously create themes. Once I named a bitch "Edge of Glory" and began my "Edge of" theme for maybe 5 generations of dogs. That was fun. Since I started in Dobermans, I have been naming them only cocktail drinks, which is odd because I don't drink. Right now, depending on their lineage, a lot of my dogs have names of weaponry, either manufacturers, guns, or just random types (Beretta, Husqvarna, Akdal Ghost, Stoßdolch, etc.) which is also odd because I am not a violent person. Lol. |

quote So she says. The "lol" at the end of that didn't help your statement, Reina. But hey, I own lots of guns...and have Pit Bulls...does that make me a typical thug? O.o As far as naming themes, I believe I'm going to start. I have found that in the past, because of naming themes, I am able to more accurately trace my dogs lineage. In Creed, I will be using "mental, delusional, psychotic" themes in route of my boy, Crazy, who is currently top SOP in breed. |

Sighs, had theme for this kennel all figured out and then 1 pup changed it all. Had a litter born the other day with a pup that would have been the new top sop for the breed if not for her low ss. Glares at her...you were not worthy to be named after a rose darn you. www.showdog.com/dog.aspx?id=12528261 meet Fugly |

Lmao! Yeah, Becky gave me the idea to give her that name. I'm working on some traits and thought that...it was perfect. |

Because I tend to run into COI issues I now systematically name dogs with a combination of the sire, dam and a unique name. Has made it sooo much easier to avoid accidentally ending up with 50% of my kennel from the same sire. grif, |
