What is all this about?

[Getfitok]

I’m quite a decisive person, usually. We’ve had 3 children & a dog & had few problems thinking of names.

But, in less than 2 weeks we are bringing home our Cockapoo puppy & can’t decide on a name.

I’m getting so frustrated with myself for being so indecisive, dithering &dilly dallying.

She is apricot coloured, any suggestions gratefully appreciated. Our favourite is ‘Daisy’.

Hopefully at some point she will be able to come running with me. Firstly though I need to find my mojo again which I lost whilst on the I C - it’s probably keeping my decision making company 😂🐕

How exciting! We know an apricot cockapoo called Pixie. She's the sweetest dog 🐕 Daisy's a great name too! I'm sure you'll find the right name for her once she's home 👍 good luck getting back on the running wagon, don't be too hard on yourself 🏃‍♀️💪🤗

[Getfitok in reply to Beatlesforever]

Thank you, I’m hoping that - new month, new motivation.

I'm liking sweetiepiedinkumsfluffybum 🤭

[Getfitok in reply to Hidden]

Must admit, I hadn’t thought of that one 😂

[Hidden in reply to Getfitok]

Excellent 👍 it's totally original 🙂

[Buddy34 Graduate10 in reply to Hidden]

I can see you shouting that in the park🤣🤣

[Hareshaw-Granny Graduate10]

What an exciting time for you with a new puppy. Daisy sounds lovely. My offering would be Honey one of our old pet names or perhaps Molly.

Sorry to hear that you’ve been on the IC. Meet a fellow couchee who has just struggled with these gremlins and only restarted last week almost back at the beginning. Hope you manage back soon. Good luck 👍👍

[Getfitok in reply to Hareshaw-Granny]

Thanks for your reply, both of those names are on my short list. I’m hoping to get back out again soon, just need to throw off those pesky gremlins 🏃‍♀️

[Run46 Graduate10 in reply to Getfitok]

I was going to say Daisy sounds just right but then Honey got thrown in, perfect for an apricot pup.

Either just sound so cute, as if Cockerpoos need help being any cuter 😍

[Jell6 Graduate10]

My mum and dads first dog was called Evro, the first 2 letters of dads surname and mums maiden name. What would that give you? 😊

[Getfitok in reply to Jell6]

Dewr - would certainly be unique. Thanks for that 🐕

[61Lady Graduate10]

Hope you lose your gremlins and rediscover your mojo soon.

Although loving Ims50’s suggestion, my dog name votes are Molly, Maisie, Roxie or Lexie.

You will make sure you tell us when you decide won’t you ?

[Getfitok]

Thank you - they are all lovely suggestions 👍

[nowster Graduate10]

Cockapoos don't need huge amount of exercise, certainly not as much as some breeds. Longer distances might not be good for her.

I'm terrible at naming things. My sister's male cockerpoo is called Dougal. (He got very shaggy as a puppy before his first trim.)

[Getfitok in reply to nowster]

Not sure if she’s going to be shaggy or curly yet, time will tell 🐕

[shuffleido]

In my youth I had dogs called Pepsi, Sprite and Tango. I do like the name Rolo or what about 'Peaches' from Ice Age,

[Getfitok in reply to shuffleido]

Great ideas, you obviously had a theme going on there 😀

[Elfe5 60minGraduate in reply to shuffleido]

Our daughter named her apricot coloured hamster Fuzzy Peach - Peachie was the inevitable abbreviation.😄

[Getfitok in reply to Elfe5]

😀🐾🐾

[Getfitok]

Not sure if she’s going to be shaggy or curly yet, time will tell 🐕

[Buddy34 Graduate10]

How great , a new puppy 🐶. Bella or Luna. But Daisy is a beautiful name.

Hope your mojo returns soon and you never know maybe the perfect dog name will come to you on a run 🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️🐕🐕

[Getfitok in reply to Buddy34]

That will be my inspiration to get out there, good idea 🐕👍

[Couchphoenix Graduate10]

Call her Mojo 😂 .....there I’ve just killed two birds with one stone 👍 ......we’ve got an 8 month old cockapoo, they’re lovely, but nutty as fruitcakes, good fun. Ours is called Harvey as our surname is Moon 😀 there’s a pic of him on my previous post, have a look 👀 If yours becomes Daisy, you’ll probably end up calling her crazy Daisy. What about Milly, I quite like that name 🤔

Just had a thought.....she could end up being called Silly Milly 😂

[Getfitok in reply to Couchphoenix]

He is so cute & love the name. Yes I’ve heard Cockapoos are crazy, so Daisy would fit the bill. Or Mojo 😂. 🐾🐾

[Moominette]

Also on the IC at the moment and keeping an eye on my mojo as I can feel it trying to sneak away when I’m not watching it carefully, so lots of sympathy from me!

I wish I was getting a new puppy soon to inspire me! Daisy is a lovely name 😊 Or you could name her after a famous runner to inspire her to run with you 😂 As with babies though, I don’t think you ever really know their names until you’ve got to know them for a day or so. My poor cat was ‘Puss’ for 3 weeks until I woke one morning and just knew that he was clearly a Henry.

[Getfitok in reply to Moominette]

Henry is a great name for a cat. She is still ‘puppy’ at the moment, though she hasn’t come home yet. I’m hoping November will give me a big nudge to get my running act together. 🏃‍♀️🐕

[Speedy60 Graduate10]

We're hoping to get a rescue dog next year. I've already decided to use names of Scottish islands I've visited, starting with Islay - you could choose Rum or Muck though 😆

[Getfitok in reply to Speedy60]

😂

[Health2020 Graduate10]

Ah. We have an apricot cockerpoo called Toffee (my daughter named her). Daisy is a beautiful name. Enjoy her once she arrives!!

[Getfitok in reply to Health2020]

Thank you. Funny, suddenly everywhere I look there’s Cockapoos 😂

[Health2020 Graduate10 in reply to Getfitok]

They are such a friendly, sociable breed of dog.

[Newbirunner]

Has to Fred

[Getfitok in reply to Newbirunner]

👍🐾🐾

[Dobbydoodah Graduate10]

SO jealous! I would have a houseful of pups, all sorts. Our black lab (in my pic) is Dobson, or dobbydoodah to my grandchildren and just Dobbs sometimes. Never met another one. Enjoy her whatever you call her.

[Getfitok in reply to Dobbydoodah]

Great name from the grandchildren. I think Daisy is still favourite 🐕

[JetsNanna]

Daisy is a lovely name - all the Daisies that I know (human and canine) are wonderful. It’s so hard choosing a name for a dog, almost as bad as for a baby 😂

We were lucky that my daughter’s puppy was already called Jet and since our surname is Black it seemed like the stars had aligned when she got him. He’s a toy poodle and he is just wonderful. Coincidentally he is jet black in colour too 😊

[Getfitok in reply to JetsNanna]

How lovely, what a coincidence was that? I think we are going to stick with Daisy. It’s 24 years since we lost out 1st dog, so it’s like starting again. So excited 😂🐾🐾

[JetsNanna in reply to Getfitok]

They are bringers of joy. I wish you many happy years with your Daisy 😊

[Getfitok in reply to JetsNanna]

Thank you so much 🐾
