My german wirehair's name is steyer and call him sty for short and it doesnt seem to bother him at all. I think my next dog's name will be Hey. Hey get over here, Hey get it, Hey leave it alone. Might as well make it easy on me

My dog answers to about 10 different names, all equally well, so no confusion there... Including, like 7Mag just noted... HEY! and NO!

I like short names and commands. I feel they help the dog learn faster and there is very little confusion. My current lab's name is Gus. The two before him were Beau and Sam. I use hand commands with verbal commands while training and rarely have to speak other than the attention command after initial training.

I've had a number of dogs over the years. GS pointer named Brandy, Lab named Libra, Lab Rott. cross named Buffalo(Buffy) Golden Retriever named Buddy. Current dog is Lab/Border Collie named Sage. Name her what you want, it will work out. Almost forgot best dog I ever had, English pointer/Brittany Spaniel named Speck.

Wife and I are getting a pup in 2019 and we've been running through names like crazy! Frontrunners are Rudder, Boone, Poe, Gibson... thoughts?

Something in my DNA prefers Rudder.... They come in handy when attached to a vertical stabilizer as well.

BIGGEST MISTAKE I've seen in naming dogs is when the owner realizes the name is too close to commands!! Had to give some people grief at the out of norm commands they were giving due to poor dog name (example: Beau and woah/go/no, Kit and sit) Also, if you have multiple dogs, try and differentiate by syllables so field training is easier (My dogs are Ruger and Teton, but hunting it is Ruger and T). Naming is the funnest part, just make it count!

Ended up naming her Remy Aspen.
Thanks for the feedback.
Who knew naming a dog was so challenging!

hell most(not all) of the bird dogs I have ever seen ignored English .
only thing ever seems to get their attention is a spray of lead from a distance.
