What should I name my dog? - BMW 3-Series (E90 E92) Forum

LEDZEP · 12-20-2007, 07:55 PM

This sunday we'll be "taking delivery" of our new German Shepherd dog... 6 1/2 weeks old. Male. Trying to figure out what to name him... thought it might be fun to hear some feedback or fresh suggestions...

LEDZEP · 12-20-2007, 08:05 PM

German folks.... give me some ideas. I really want a German name.

STE92VE · 12-20-2007, 08:14 PM

I know some Sheps named King....How about Kaiser?

Steve - you're supposed to choose "other" in the poll. Must we teach you everything?

T Bone · 12-20-2007, 08:20 PM

My favorite dog..... German names?? Try some other ones like:

Dexter
Clyde
Achtung

Eazyrock · 12-20-2007, 08:29 PM

Hasselhoff... everyone loves "the hoff"

LEDZEP · 12-20-2007, 08:38 PM

I'm hoping some of my Germanic friends will offer some good ones too.... thanks for the suggestions so far!

JSpira · 12-20-2007, 09:21 PM

You could go to the gods, perhaps Thor.

Maybe music, how about Mozart?

Gratuliere by the way.

I didn't vote for "other", although on second thought, it would be a unique name for a dog. Other than "other", Otto is a German name...

Dexter...isn't he a serial killer?

baggerben · 12-20-2007, 09:55 PM

growing up we had a mastiff named odon,and a cat named thor. my neighbor has a german shepard named zeus.

dreamk · 12-20-2007, 10:11 PM

lil hitler?

Dani · 12-20-2007, 11:13 PM

I liked Zoso (Led Zeppelin reference) because 1. it sounds cool, and 2. it is something specifically suited for you.

you want something that sounds good but also means something to you and so that is perfect.

FrankoQ · 12-20-2007, 11:21 PM

I named my car Hans. So, I vote for that.

Ruff Rider · 12-20-2007, 11:25 PM

I named my Yellow Labrador "Bimmer". He loves it......

e92man · 12-20-2007, 11:27 PM

Isn't Thor more like Scandinavian?

Hey LEDZEP,

some nice suggestions here!

Ok, so Mozart would be austrian, Thor would be greek.

Dexter, Clyde and Hasselhoff are definitely not german.

My suggestions:

Purzel
Rammstein (not!)
Rex (the classic german shepherd name)
Angela Merkel
Waldi
Bello
Hugo (my favorite for a male)
Boss
Enzo (really nice, but unfortunately italian)

But WTH is 'Alger'???

Eazyrock · 12-21-2007, 06:56 AM

I know he's not from germany.. but i was so tempted to name my dog Schwarzenegger.

You need to read up on Germanic gods. Thor is not Greek.

Why not combine Hugo and Boss then?
