Name that pup!

Basenji Puppy Pen

  • I have a 3 month old red/white female puppy that I need to name. The prefix will be Sherwood's and the theme of the litter is "Secret". (Mama dog kept her condition a secret until she was about to pop.) The puppy is a feminine dead ringer, conformation-wise and partially markings-wise, for her sire Baron.

    Pic of Baron at 8 weeks:

    OK everyone so which name do you like best for this pretty little girl puppy?

    Sherwood's…....

    Secret Endeavor
    Keeping Secrets
    Secret Reflection
    Secret Echo

    or possibly going against the theme.....

    Spittin' Image
    Mirror Effect

    Or something else????


  • Sherwood's Secret Mimic


  • She is beautiful, and I like Sherwood's Keeping Secrets


  • I'll take her!!!!

    Oh wait, that's not what this is about… LOL

    I like Sherwood's Keeping Secrets also.
    Second choice would be Sherwood's Secret Reflection.

    I like Secret Endeavor, but that sounds more like a boy to me.

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


  • I like the Sherwood Forest theme too :) How about Sherwood's secret Maid Marion and call the beautiful pup "marion".


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


  • I like Secret Endeavor.

    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

    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".

    Thank you Tanza. I was very curious. ill have to check out AKC. Thank you AgileBasenji. Yes i do live here so it would just be for fun and for some experience. I dont blame you on the points tho because it would be alot of money to not get anything out of it.

    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!
