    Default Name our puppy!!!

    Ok, so we are getting a puppy and need a name.

    She is small, (terrier mix) smooth and black.

    Nothing too girlie/twee that DH would look/sound silly shouting. Our other dog is Nala - a rescue who came with a name already, not our choice but DH was ok with thet one. Nala is a patterdale and the new one should end up similar size ish!!

    Any ideas please?????

    Photos from DD phone - not the greatest!!

    Ours is called Diesel, don't know if that's a bit boyish though.

    Pepper?

    Misty?

    I was told by a trainer that it is best to use a 2 syllable name, easier to call for training apparently.

    One of DDs goldfish was Izzy - he died just before Christmas
    I didn't think you could get so attached to a fish.
