My DH would love to get one but I'm pretty happy with our one big dog right now. A couple of one syllable names: Ace, Cash, Huck, Mack, Fitz. I do love Walter, though! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/name-that-dane#post-1833622 Sun, 24 Aug 2014 17:05:48 +0000 MrsSCB 1833622@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@jedeve: lol!

My dog is Angus but we mostly call him Gus, which would go with your one syllable nickname requirement. Can't wait to see pics once you get the new pup! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/name-that-dane#post-1833554 Sun, 24 Aug 2014 15:45:50 +0000 Dandelion 1833554@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Pluto! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/name-that-dane#post-1833470 Sun, 24 Aug 2014 14:31:05 +0000 jedeve 1833470@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I heard of a Dane named Hamlet once.

My parents have rescued 4 over the years. </p> <p>@Applesandbananas: @Beebug: thank you, it was rough, especially since I was pregnant. We've been waiting so we are healed and ready for the next addition.</p> <p>Thanks guys, I'm drawn to one syllable names but Walter works so well: it goes with our 'er' ending dog names and can be shortened to Walt if we feel like it. I will make sure to post an announcement when we make the leap either this fall or the coming spring :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/name-that-dane#post-1833327 Sun, 24 Aug 2014 12:21:45 +0000 mrs. bird 1833327@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@loveisstrange: i love old people names for pets, too! stanley is a fabulous name, i have a wilson and a winifred :) love walter! </p> <p>angus, byron, zeus, thaddeus, desmond, moose, wilfred, wallace, langston, stuart, leonard, milton, howard, seymour, julius, gordon, amos, elmer </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/name-that-dane#post-1833319 Sun, 24 Aug 2014 12:16:46 +0000 Beebug 1833319@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Sorry about two losses so close together, so heartbreaking.</p> <p>Oden is a name we like for our next male dog!</p> <p>I'm so not unique, but Duke is such a Dane name, lol.</p> <p>Other names, Ramson, Murphy, Worzel, Merlin, I'm actually rhyming off male horses I know/knew! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/name-that-dane#post-1833316 Sun, 24 Aug 2014 12:15:25 +0000 Boopers 1833316@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Turd Ferguson: I was going to say Winston, too! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/name-that-dane#post-1833298 Sun, 24 Aug 2014 12:00:02 +0000 Turd Ferguson 1833298@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We adopted a Dane for a little bit, I named him Winston! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/name-that-dane#post-1833289 Sun, 24 Aug 2014 11:53:50 +0000 Ginabean3 1833289@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I like Hercules! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/name-that-dane#post-1833271 Sun, 24 Aug 2014 11:47:16 +0000 MediaNaranja 1833271@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm partial to Winston-it's my dog's name. :-) But it works so well!

We just lost ours two years ago to a sudden, unknown cause. We're thinking stroke because she just dropped to the ground and died at 4. I think raising children with them would be great! My parents rescued a mutt after Zooey and I have to admit, he's no Dane. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/name-that-dane#post-1833251 Sun, 24 Aug 2014 11:27:26 +0000 fairy 1833251@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Old man names are great!

I also knew a big dog named Sarge. It sounds like a big dog name, and he was such a sweetie. I also like Ace or Angus. Or for more T names since you like Tripp -- Troy, Titus...Oooh, or Thor because he'll be a big guy! We have a Teddy, so I'll also throw that out :-) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/name-that-dane#post-1833214 Sun, 24 Aug 2014 10:37:25 +0000 loveisstrange 1833214@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love "old" people names for pets. Our cat is Stanley.</p> <p>I think Walter is pretty funny. Or Stewart or Louis. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/name-that-dane#post-1833201 Sun, 24 Aug 2014 10:25:40 +0000 sorrycharlie 1833201@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>oh how fun! I'm no help, the only Dane I've ever known is named Ethel. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/name-that-dane#post-1833197 Sun, 24 Aug 2014 10:21:06 +0000 Mrsjets 1833197@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So last spring we lost one of our beloved Great Danes, Porter, to bone cancer. That fall we lost our other, Spencer, from a blood infection and because he was younger I think he just couldn't live without our first.</p> <p>We are thinking of adding a new Dane puppy to our family. Our house is eerie without a dog and can't imagine our kids growing up without one. Anyways, it would be a male (I've always had male dogs) and either fawn or brindle.</p> <p>I'm loving Tripp but DH isn't a fan. So please give me your best name suggestions. </p>
