Thanks everybody for your ideas!

Hopefully that will change and they will become good friends. If it doesn't, pm me for suggestions (I used to breed & show cats while I also had 2 dogs). Everybody got along (except for one really mean cat I got from a friend). Cute name! Obviously all those suggestions helped.

Meet "Bailey" (crap, number 5 on the most favorite name list.)

This is his adoption picture, we're picking him up tomorrow from his foster family! We're getting him from Cocker Rescue of Georgia (also where we got our other cocker spaniel that died last July from throat cancer.)

We've had a REALLY hard time picking out a name for him that all of us could agree on. Last week, on a cruise, the waiter passed by w/ a tray of Bailey's Irish Cremes and Grand Marniers. I just happened to be telling my husband that I had read you could get ideas of dog names from color, personality, street or town where you named him, etc. My husband immediately said, "Bailey-after the drink. Because the first thing you said when you saw him was you were surprised at his coloring, it was like creme, not a light buff color." We all agreed we liked the name, and ordered two Bailey's to toast to the fact that he is now officially named. And now I find out, after reading this thread that-poo, we're just common people!!!

Oh, well-Bailey he shall be, with a nice Southern nickname of Baybay (Sidda's nickname from Ya-Ya Sisterhood.)

And, oh, yes, I do have a daughter with a double Southern name.

Oh, what a beautiful picture, though. Especially with his little baby hippo. And yea for you for getting him from a rescue group!!

Little update: Scarlette has been with me more than 2 months now and she's an angel. I couldn't have asked for a better dog. She loves everybody who walks in the door, gets along great with all the dogs in the dog park, and luckily she was housebroken when I got her. There were a mishaps in the beginning when she tore my apartment apart while I was gone but that has since been solved with a crate!

I wish I could put a picture of her on here but I don't know how.

I like when I hear pet names that are different, but are everyday things that you hear all the time.

One of my sisters named her dog... Guinness

My aunt's dog was named after a place she visited... Sitka (Alaska)

And my favorite... one of my friends worked at a doggy day care place, and one of the dogs was named... Fenway

(this COULD be my favorite because I like the Red Sox, but that's beside the point. it's cute!)
