Not to mention what you will call them when you're angry! :) I also like two syllable names, but often end up using one syllable, e.g. "Perry" sometimes gets "Pay", and my horse, "Hero" often just gets "Roe".
With the way Kipawa runs, when he is fully grown we are going to take him lure coursing. I want all of his bones to develop fully before putting too much stress on them.
I agree, I wait to be around a pup for a bit and then often pick a name that ties to the registered name;
FoPaw's Designated Driver "Sober"
FoPaw's Little Bit of Luck "Clover"
FoPaw's Oh My God "Odin"
FoPaw's Makes U Wonder "Stevie"
FoPaw's Lead Singer "Diva"
there are many more but these are a couple that come to mind, owners have picked similar matches. Jordan Reed has chosen some very clever names as well.
Atarasi D'Lucks Edition "Eddie" (Clover's brother)
Atarasi About Face "Sarge"
Atarasi All About Me "Mimi"
I love playing with names like this. I like Oakley myself but I think you'll be surprised to know exactly what his name is when you get him home.
Good luck with the new baby.
