My Dog's Name....I need some advice!

[ashmin]

Okay, I posted before that I am about to get a St. Bernard puppy! I really really want to name him Cooper. I just think it fits so well. But when I told my boyfriend and his brother, who are both my roomates, they said it was gay! What do you guys think? I mean, he is going to be my dog, and I am going to do the taking care of him, but they will be around him alot.... Here is his pic....tell me if you think it fits him! http://i76.photobucket.com/albums/j7/ashmittens/100_2780b.jpg
Thanks!

There's nothing wrong with Cooper! If you like the name, run with it!

Cooper doesnt sound "gay" to me...
What kind of name is he thinkin of?

Chopper is a good alternative.

I like the name Cooper, if you wan't to name him Cooper, name him Cooper. In the end it's your choice, he is your dog.

Thanks guys....they both like the name Diesel. It's alright, but to me it just doesn't fit his personality.

Awww what a little sweetheart!!! Cooper is a great name, and I agree, it does fit him. If you like the name, I say go for it!

How about Bruce, or James?

Nathan? Rock?

How about Liberace?

To be honest, I don't know of most St. Bernards who fit the name "Diesel." To me, Diesel is the name of an energetic, athletic, no-nonsense dog. Not a galumphing hairy sweetie with sad puppy eyes.

I'm talking to my boyfriend right now and we both kindof like Kane or Komet (we are trying to stay with a K name) I was going to spell Cooper with a K....I dunno....I am too much of a please everyone else kinda girl, instead of pleasing me! Thanks everybody that has responded!

 

[ashmin]

Gempress- I most definately agree-it just can't be Diesel...not gonna happen! He's just too sweet!

 

[memyselfandmiah]

what about mr. cooper? That sounds a little "cooler". Or so say I.

 

[Denaluvscorgis]

I think that Cooper is a great name.

 

[B33CPE]

tell them they can call him coop for short, i have a dog named coupe i dont think it sounds gay at all. Diesel reminds me of vin diesel, which makes it kinda gay lol. I like Kane too.

 

[MK&C]

I love the name Cooper. Go fo it.

If not, you could always name him Beetoven!!!! (seriously, my dream name for a st. bernard)

 

[AusCatDogs_4Ever]

I like the name "Bernie" for a St. Bernard, it definatly fits, and it's so cute.

If you like the name Cooper, you should stick with it.

 

[Renee750il]

Stick to your guns and let him be Cooper. It suits him!

 

[ashmin]

thanks everyone! Oh and to B33CPE: It totally reminds me of Vin Diesel...I don't want people thinkin I named my dog after him! Eww! All of the names everyone suggested are cute too! I have some thinkin' to do! I'm still leaning toward Cooper though!

 

[EliNHunter]

What a cute loveable lug of a puppy! Guys would tell me that HUNTER was gay, too!!! I'm like, "Hello??? It's as in Hunter being a duck HUNTER... not the gay, yuppie name!!!" Ok, tell the guys that his "real name" is Maxi Cooper (instead of Mini Cooper). Although, I could see that backfiring with them thinking "maxi pads"

Cooper is a fine name Although I think Alfie would suit him, he has a Alfie sort of face!

I like Cooper, a tough name for a St. Bernard just doesn't fit, they seem too sweet to get a name like Diesel. Any name you pick will grow on him, but go with what you want... you'll be the one calling him most, not your roomates.
