Well, I’m stumped. The little guy is still nameless, and I need something to yell at him when he has to come. I need help!
First, photo gallery for inspiration.
Now that you have seen pictures, what are your name feelings?
Jack
Jake
Oscar
Bosco
Gus
Shashi
Baahubali
Arjun
Earnest
Alfie
Bobby
Frankie
Raj
Bubba (current name)
Or, anything else?

I looked at his picture and immediately thought “Oscar”. And behold, it’s on your list! If he needs a last name, I suggest Filmfare. Oscar Filmfare.

My only concern is that the naughtiest boy I ever had in Sunday School is named “Oscar”. Will I be more angry at the dog because of what Human Oscar has done? Or more angry at Human Oscar because of what Dog Oscar has done?

Is Human Oscar still around?

He moved up to youth group now that he is 12, but I still see him most Sundays. He is quite the church character. Very serious and mature when with the adults, completely out of control when with the kids, literally jumping off walls. Well, built in cabinets. Still not good.

Yesterday when I saw your new dog first photo I thought he reminds me Ram Charan. So how about Harsha (Ram’s character in Magadheera). The name means: joy / hapiness, (and in longer form Harshwardhan – one who increases joy, happiness) Isn’t it perfect? And it’s not that difficult to yell in the park, or on the street.
And if not Harsha, I liked Jack, because I think this name suits him.

Harsha is pretty good! Now I am thinking about “happiness” words. There’s also “Khushi”. And in German, “Frohe”. Or I suppose, just “Happy” in English.

I like a hard T or K at the end of dog names so it’s better for calling (and reprimands). Of course, all the dogs I’ve every had did not follow that rule . . .
How about Schatzi? Or is that strictly feminine. Or Dirk!

Yeah, Schatzi definitely seems feminine. Shot would be male, but is kind of an odd name.

And also good for angry yelling. “Hazel” was more of a croony name, but then she was also a dog that spent more time being crooned at than yelled at.

I’m a big fan of human names for pets, so your list makes me happy! Please don’t name him Arjun, haha, it’s my husband’s name (I know, very selfish) Jake is a cute name. Rosco also pops into my head.

Oh, Rosco might be really good! There is a main street/neighborhood named “Roscoe” in Chicago, so it is also kind of a local name.

Jack, Alfie, Bosco, Oscar are all nice. Happy or Shashi could be fun too. It would be kind of funny to be shouting, “Happy, No!” 🙂

In our family we like to name our dogs either after favorite characters (a pair of Boxers got Wash and Zoe in honor of Serenity) or after characteristics (another Boxer got Daffy). He looks like he’s always ready to ask a question. Which I looked up and is “savaal” in Hindi (if the translator got it right?). Just a thought. Or maybe “What?” … in Hindi, natch. 🙂

That would be “Kya”. Which isn’t bad. “Mutlub” is “meaning” which could be another option.

Looking at him, I get a “B” as the first letter and an “u” as the last one…like in Bantu or Bablu…but there is also a Jack-o in my mind…

Oh, Jack-o might be good! I have some folks in my life saying “ew, a human name for a dog?” but adding the “o” would get around that.
