Robin Westerheim said...

Cotton. Cause he looks like a big ole cotton ball.

Sitka -- there is a Sitka Sound just off of the state of Alaska; south and west of Juneau, AK. Juneau would also be a good name!

Dakota

He’s so beautiful, I keep thinking he’s a girl, and could have some wonderful names for a girl!

I think you definitely have to stay away from the Levi, Gus, Magnum … all those macho names reserved for big strong labs!

Right off hand, I’m thinking … Max … but I’ll keep thinking.

Max and Murphy …. hmmmmm

Ann Holland said...

MacKenzie … means fair; favored one (call him Mac)
Muffy … means unusual
Max … means greatest
Charlie … oh, I’m liking Charlie

OK that’s my homework for the night

How about salty dog

Nancy said...

Okay, Liz.

Here are some cute, not necessarily PC names for the new, adorable ball of fluff:

Blanca, Blizzard, Honky, Casper, Doughboy (as in Pillsbury), Q-Tip, Klondike, Whitey, Ghost, Chardonnay, Snowball

A bit more sophisticated: Balto, Bjorn, IRVING--Scottish for "handsome & fair"; Thor, Winston,
Gannon--"the little blonde or fair one"; Togo--traditional Husky name


Names with Alaskan meanings: (Probably easier to pronounce after a glass or two of vino)

Nanuk--polar bear
Siku-- ice
Qannik--snowflake
Sesi--snow
Sitka--a city in Alaska (did you see the movie "The Proposal"?)

And one more:
Mackinley--of Gaelic origin meaning: "son of the white warrior" (that would be Troy) and his nickname could be Mac--short for Mac notebook--remember the conversation last night after three glasses of wine...?!?!?!!!! I think it also sounds good with Murphy...Mackinley...Murphy...Mackinley...you get the idea.
But, if Troy & Becky don't love it, see if they like Winston...He just LOOKS like a Winston to me.
(W for White...)
Look at his picture one more time, and see if you don't agree! Color me crazy, but that's what I think :)

Have fun sifting through all the names coming in...Keep me posted on what they decide!

Thanks,
Nancy

I said "snowball" from the begining, but also like Juneau- I think he needs
some sort of "Alaska" name!!! What a cutie! What does Mr. Murphy think?"

Doylene=”Curly”

Barry said...

Whatever the name it should be short. Stand in the yard and say the name like you want the dog to come to you. It should not be similar to a command How does that sound.

Judy Boyles said...

Bear

Joy Starks said...

Snowball.

Barry Crow said...

Bruce. With lisp

Dear Liz and Chuck.....I was just about to send you an email re blogitis (the lack of getting
daily or frequent blogs from Liz) when this neat email came.....just in the nick of time.
So I am going to submit the name "nick" or Nicky" for this sweet doggie....what a lot of hair.
He sure looks like he is paying attention and "not missing anything" sitting up there so
pretty. Let me know if I won the Lexus....that was the prize wasn't it? We joke about
Lexuses at busch gardens often...sort of a health workers joke.

Bonnie and Dick said...

How about “Snowball”?

kim said...

I can't believe they finally did it...........good for them. Another friend for Uno to play with. He looks like a snowball to me. I'll keep thinking. He is so cute.....

Tom and Mary Lee said...

The new puppy is adorable!! Can't wait to meet him. The Knippenbergs submit the following names:

1. - SNOWBALL 2. MC KINLEY (for Mt. Mckinley, mountain in Alaska), 3. - DENALI ( Natl. Park where Mt. McKinley is)

Glenda said...

"Horton"...as in Johnny Horton's "North to Alaska" record!!!!!

Jeanette said...

SNOWBALL

Sharon Sehon said...

When I look at those eyes, all I can think of is "Buttons 2".

Jacquetta said...

This puppy is so beautiful!!!!

Connie & Gil said...

Connie says, "happy" cause he's always smiling. Gil says "Fido" is too common for an elite animal like that, so I say call him "Jack". That is sure a name that will bring him into the upper class.

Brenda Steel said...

Since they got him in October a name could be "Ghost". But I also like "Snow" or "Blanco".

Ellen said...

"I thought of Snowball but I like Palin."

Donnita said...

Snowy!!

Cynthia said...

He looks like "Eskie"...and he is adorable.. we love him...

jacquetta said...

Hi Liz - what about Sammy for the puppy's name. Jacquetta

Sherrie said...

Well he looks like a polar bear so I think Bear or Fluffy.
