New puppy naming challenge

[Hawksmoor]

As she is a sweet natured dog, how about Caroline after Caroline Herschel and 'Sweet Caroline' after Neil Diamond - 'like a diamond in the sky'.

Nice pup - best regards George

abbey Golden retriever

S5 0014+81, quasar with a massive black hole estimated at 40 billion solar masses, good luck with that at the park!

Seriously, how about Mintaka? No particular significance, I just think it would be a lovely name for the little beauty.

It's looking like there is household agreement on the name Nellie, so now I just need some link to astronomy.....

Errm!   A Russian  Space vehicle carried a dog called Laika into Orbit years ago. I won't 
add anymore to the post. 

 

The dog died of stress...... ....... 

My last dog was called Terra. A pug. Dumped on me, but we had a good relationship. Before that I had German shepherd Argas. I had an American Pitbull for a day on Sunday, took it to the dog shelter - I called her Ascot as she was runaway dog, shelter named her Gala. 

Short, sharp names, but I had a friend/tutor who named his dogs Intellectual and Idiot. Cats - Machiavelli and Faust. 

Just don't name it Laika. Or Bella. 

Spaniels are lovely loving dogs. And girly. I suggest Alice.

Raking around on the 'net I came across the Chabot Space Centre (Oakland, California) where they have a "new" 36" reflector called "Nellie". You can watch her having her mirror cleaned. Puppies and cleaning definitely go together!

well it's not quite space, but James Bond had an autogyro that took him into the sky called Little Nelly

Karl Jansky was an American radio engineer who discovered Radio waves coming form space.
He was involved directly with the advancement of Radio Astronomy.
Guess what?  his mother was called Nellie.

Been to see her today, Nellie seems to suit, so that's that then. Thanks for all your suggestions, sure you'll understand we had to go with the family consensus. Collect her next Sunday. 

[Alfian]

What a cutie. Have a lovely life Nellie.

[johnfosteruk]

Those eyes! I'm in love.

How long is it between the 1st image and the last image?. That dog seems to be growing up very fast.

I think the image makes Nellie look bigger than she is. Here's one from last week and from today, aged 7 weeks.

I remember picking ours at that age! Lyra is a brown/black Cocker - mad as a March hare - but lovely... She is currently (10:22pm) on my bed, waiting for me to get in so she can have her good-night cuddle!!

Who says she has me wrapped around her paw..???
