Name for dog
We recently adopted a dog and I'm trying to decide on a name. We think he is a Pekingese, mostly white, with brown patches. He is adorable (I'm not usually a "dog person"). We found him on Christmas Day, so I was thinking of a name going along with that theme.
I can think of a few names, but nothing seems perfect.
see page 2 for pics!

What about Navidad or Noel since you found him on Christmas?

If he were a girl I'd call him Holly, I think Christmas/Holiday themed names would lend themselves to girl names. Although, that didn't stop a couple I know from naming their male hound Rosebud.
Good luck picking out a name, he is a cutie!

Not necessarily. You have Santa, Scrooge, Rudolph, Kringle, Bob Crachett, Tiny Tim...
Kringle or Tiny Tim might actually be cute.

Maybe...I guess I just don't think of those as possible names for a dog since they're so blatantly obvious as to the Christmas/Holiday theme. I liked your original idea of Navidad!

thanks for those ideas! yes, it is more difficult to find male names.
Star would have been nice for a female.
other ideas we have are:
frosty
elf
hermy (misfit elf from rudolph cartoon)
bumble (adomable snowman from rudolph)
Dasher, Dancer, Prancer, Vixen, Donder, Blitzen, Cupid and Comet.

Fifi? That ain't a name for this mutt.
So how about Champion?
Champion? You're anything but!
We could call him Tiger, but there's no bite in him!
Tiger? Kittens would frighten him!
Rover, why don't you think it over?!
Rover is the perfect name for this dumb lookin' dog!
Sandy, Sandy's his name if you please.
If you don't believe me, ask anyone of the fleas.
Residing on Sandy, truly a pedigreed Sandy,
there ain't no better breed!
And he, really comes in handy!
Especially when you're all alone
in the night and small
and terribly frightened
It's Sandy!
Sandy, he'll always be
There.

I like "people" names for dogs. Never cared for names like, "patches" "spot" "fluffy" etc.
If you want to carry on the Christmas theme, you could name him "Nic" (for St. Nicholas) or "Rudolph" or "Rudy" for short-- for the rednose raindeer.
For a small dog like that, I like, "Bobby" "Cleo" or "Jess." Or if you want something more formal, "Miles" "Zach" or "Wallace."
Here is a website with more than 2000 dog names:

You suck. \m/
My nieces got a puppy for Christmas and they named him Mele, after Mele Kalikimaka (Merry Christmas in Hawaiian).
Mele also means "song".
