Name that pup!

Basenji Puppy Pen
  • She is very beautiful and I too, love "Keeping Secrets" and you all are so clever!

  • I like Secret Endeavor.

  • @JazzysMom:

    Have you ever gone with a Robin Hood, ie Sherwood Forest theme? {Or is that just to corny for words?}

    Funny you should say that…...

    When I was selecting a kennel name to use, I wanted something reasonably short, easy to spell and pronounce, and easy to remember. My name is Robyn and the Basenjis are true hoodlums so Sherwood it was! :p

  • I'm with Jazzy…if you can't find her a home..I'll TAKE HER :D :D she sure is a beauty! And what a spittin image of her papa :)

    I like Secret Reflection (Reflection of daddy that is :) ha!)

  • @jys1011:

    I'm with Jazzy…if you can't find her a home..I'll TAKE HER :D

    Sorry folks this girl is staying with me but if you are interested in one of her brothers…..... ;)

  • How about this: Sherwood's Mystery Reflection and call her "Mystery" or "Misty" for short. This one covers both the fact that Mom kept her a "secret" and the fact that she looks like Dad (reflection)!;) :cool:

  • How about Sherwood's Secret Crush?

    Did you say you have boys? :D
    J/K, I have to wait until the baby is old enough. :(

  • I like Secret Reflection

  • @YodelDogs:

    (Mama dog kept her condition a secret until she was about to pop.)

    Just a little curious - but do you mean that you didn't know the Mama was pregnant? Did she have only one pup? Very interesting!

    :)

    They are LOVELY puppies…see, Baron and Pippin knew what they were doing :)

  • ok ok ok I can't stand it anymore…what's the winning name!!! The suspense is killing ME slowly :D :D :D

  • Great story…love the bathrobe and the incident at the vet - LOL! they all are beautiful, as you know!

  • Ha Ha Ha I can see Robyn in the bathrobe trying to get the dogs in the door-Ha Ha Ha. If I didn't have so many already I'd take one. But I don't think Shadow would appreciate it. And I am partial to blacks as well!

  • The perfect name popped in my head as I was driving home today. Something I had not even thought of until then.

    legacy - something that is handed down or remains from a previous generation or time

    This little girl will be formally registered as Sherwood's Secret Legacy!

    You guys came up with some GREAT suggestions! Thanks to everyone for joining in the fun. Now….to decide what I'm going to call her. :p

  • Yes, Sherwood's Secret Legacy is beautifully perfect!!! What will be her "nickname"?

  • I like that to!

  • Very nice…I'm sure her name will emerge! Keep us posted!

    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. Therese

    I want my basenji to have an African name, so I searched African names via Google. Most of the sites tell you what African language the name is from and what the name means. It was an enjoyable process!
