It’s time to... NAME! THAT! DOG!
June 20, 2020 11:36 PM Subscribe
If all goes according to plan, we’ll be adding a member to our family next week, and we need suggestions for names!
This is the new pupper. She currently is pretty timid, but seems like she’ll be spunky once she gets settled in. She will have this weirdo for an older sister. Our current dog’s name is Penny, aka potato, frog, noodle, or muppet puppet.
We’re open to all suggestions, particularly those of the nerdy variety.

Ha’penny (or Farthing).

Also: Linguine
So you could double down on the cute pasta theme with Penny/Penne/Noodle.

The white bits on her head look like a fountain pen! You could name her after famous writers but I would call her Nib aka Nibbles :)

Andie was the first thing that came to mind. I think Kitchen Witch, gt2, and I are onto something with a theme there.

I like the currency suggestions above - Peso, the most of those already suggested. But I that she looks like a Roo - maybe Ruble or Rupee? Or Loo - for Loonie, the Canadian dollar coin.

If you want a nerdy companion to Penny then the pup is obviously named Ningi (a triangular rubber coin six thousand eight hundred miles along each side). Although she also looks like a plausible Pobble Bead.

I would call her Ada, after Ada Lovelace or Gracie, after Grace Hopper. What adorable puppers.

Response by poster: Hi everyone! These were some great suggestions, and a few of them were on the short list. We ended up going with River Tam, based on her BIG personality!
