had a friend once who called his 2 dogs black and decker. real funny until you look like an absolute idiot in the local park. as your one dog is called guiness id go for murphy as thats another good irish drink and you have a kind of theme going. that dog looks kinda like a murphy to me do i win a prize if you pick my name?
She is most definitely a shepherd mix of some sort. Her ears are lab-ish, but the tail is that of a shepherd for sure! I think the name Stella is absolutely adorable! Congrats on the new baby!
I second the name Snickers. That's what my dog is named and they look very similar when she was that age. Plus it gives you a full range of nick names to call the dog such as Snick, Snickerdoodle, etc.
I would always go for a short name i.e one sylabul such as "Sam" as I'm guessing it might be easier for the dog to pick up on. Love the name snickers though. Wonder what other chocolate names you could have...bounty, yorkie, twix etc...
Old man's names often make cool dog names: Bernard, Cedric, Horace.... that kind of thing.. sort of really characterful dog names. I HATE really doggy names like Rex, Rover, etc.. just avoid any of that rubbish and you can't go wrong. Depends whether you wanna go cute, or go macho... With pets I prefer cute.
