Augie Posted September 17, 2020 Share Posted September 17, 2020 (edited) About 72 hours ago our next “best friend” was born. She will be the companion to our current 11 year old Golden Retriever named Gracie. She’s coming from the same amazing breeder, and we get first pick of the females. My wife was going thru names and saw Buffy, thinking it might be meaningful and “Bills” related. Love the thought, but nope, NOT having a Buffy. I threw out Kelly, she didn’t bite. Wondering if anyone has some Bills related suggestions for a female Golden. Prior to the Bills connection idea, we were tentatively thinking Lexi, Chloe or Scout (her mother’s name, and last trip to NYC with her we saw To Kill a Mockingbird and had the best night in a LONG time!). Thoughts? I have one Bills related name I’m saving, curious to see if anyone hits on it. . Edited September 17, 2020 by Augie 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnny Hammersticks Posted September 17, 2020 Share Posted September 17, 2020 My middle school lacrosse coach had a female Golden that he would bring to practice every day. He would play fetch with her the entire time while running practice. Her name was Hannah. Loved that dog. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice name. The first choice for our current Gracie was Bailey, but to my wife Bailey meant the little red headed girl with pig tails who threw up in her mom’s car when she was little. They could never get the smell out, and ended up selling the car for whatever they could get! (That story always makes me think of the Seinfeld BO car episode!)

Buffalo_Gal Posted September 17, 2020 Share Posted September 17, 2020 We got a rescue a few months ago. We liked the name the rescue gave him, so kept it. However, after having him for a few days and seeing how he acted and his personality, we would have named him something totally different (I didn’t want to confuse him by starting again). Maybe consider waiting until you bring her home and see if a name lends itself to her personality? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d like to have a short list, and a Billsy kind of name just came up as a thought tonight. 5 minutes ago, KD in CA said: Uh....B word?

Only other one that comes to mind is "Wheels," and I'm going way the ***** back to like the early 60s. {Elbert Dubenion AKA "Golden Wheels"} Not really a “fan” as much as an understanding bystander. She’s the one who suggested a Bills name as an option. She was outnumbered for so many years she may not be “into it”, but she certainly “gets it”.
