They are adorable 🙂
Watson always gets identified as some sort of terrier. He has been a rat terrier and a toy fox terrier…
Looking for a cool, fun name …

If it wasn't for the fact that my hubby is mexican ( and not really feeling or seeing himself as one) as well as the fact that we live in Houston,TX, those names would be Ok, but we all think they sound way too mexican, thing chihuahua..sorry.
The names I have thought of are;
Max, Fenris, Hugo, Falco, Boyd, Tucker, Floyd, Dash, Bolt (my son's favorite), Harv(-ey), Quigley or Hank and of course Edgar..and Fritz..Fino.
We even thought about Buddy, but my hubby calls Lukas(our son) Buddy all the time, so too much confusion.
Do you see the issues I have..?I never thought I'd see the day when a blond Swedish girl would have to deal with Mexican sounding dog name issues.
Petra, you rock! -
Max is good name but he will Bolt and Dash about as you well know. What about a Swedish name?????????

And french names Claude, Pierre, Auguste etc. (simply like impressionists ). -

Yeah, that little spot looks like beard, great :D.

Swedish would work if only OI could get my hubby and friends to pronounce them right, and it is hard, I undertsand as swedish is a hard sounding language as supposed to soft.
my swedish names of choice are..Ludde, Bo, Nisse, Axel or Noak.. -
I like when the call name is a 'take off' on the registered name, so I would go with either Eddie (for Edgar), or Pogo (for Poe)
I'm sort of a dork like that
-
Maybe if we saw a pic of the dog it might help. I know you don't have him yet but do you have any pics that they sent you?

Here is a pic of Edgar on Diane's website, http://mijokrbasenjis.homestead.com/edgar_wishes_he_had_a_new_home_op_800x639.jpg

How exciting Petra!! Congrats! I really like the name Floyd!
He's a lovely boy
-
lvoss, that is the picture I have as well. Isn't he cute?
Floyd is one of my favorites, my hubby has a friend named Floyd though, so of course he is thinking about that…I do like the playoff on the registered name as well, but none of the ones are cute enough..yet... We thought Edgar but nickname him Gar...but it means so manly it is girly (?) weird..
-
I like Boyd as well. Sounds like Floyd x Bolt

IMO he doesn't look like a Floyd. Sorry Hubby. Could be an Edgar (Eddie) though. Otis and Eddie. See you have to put the 2 names together because there's going to be posts in the future like "OK, Otis and Eddie got into the pantry and ate a loaf of bread and a box of crackers".

You and I think so much alike..I have been walking around "yelling" Otis and–- to see which one sounds the best together..Otis has been outside so he is not walking around thinking he did something wrong
We were told by some older friends when we were looking for a name to give our daughter 9+ years ago, to "yell" it out the door three times, that way you know what it sounds like..when you are looking for her to come in after a day out playing..so I am using that same "old wifes tale" antic on finding a suiting name for Edgar..

Cant help with a Name Petra, having enough trouble thinking of names for our new pup, have to say my husband is rubbish at picking names
Lucky you getting a Podengo, have you any pics yet ? -

I always think in syllables too. 2 syllables are OK 3 is too many. The rescue lady, Karen originally named Buddy an African name- Vinjari. The one problem is that the kids always ask the dogs name and Buddy is much easier for a 3-4 year old to say or remember. You say "Vinjari" and the kid just stares at you. Plus there's 3 syllables. Sometimes we walk by people and they say "hey buddy" automatically and I say "how did you know his name"? They laugh and say "really"? Plus he's real friendly in that he wants to be your buddy.

Shelley,
The only pic I have of him, is this one. He is younger here.
He turned 5 mo. yesterday, so he is still a baby..not that Otis isn't, he will be 10 mo next week..
-
He is soo gorgeous :D.
He looks like Edgar (in my opinion) :).
I like E.A.Poe so it would be the right name for me.Is he Podenco Grande?
-
Yes, he is Portuguese Podengo Grande, and he does look like an Edgar, doesn't he?
I can't wait… -

I'd say Edgar too.
