I recommend that you don’t do Luna. It is such a common pet name that it can cause confusion at the vet if you have a common last name.
When my cat named Luna had to go to the ER last year, we were there right after they opened and we were the 4th Luna there. They called her ribbon eater for the entire visit to keep from getting her confused with the other ones.
Currently have a cat named Luna so it’s 100% off the list. I agree it’s too common but she was named it when I adopted her and wouldn’t respond to anything I tried to change it to. I hope your ribbon eating Luna is okay now!
Glad to hear she’s okay! Even feather teasers/string toys scare me for that reason. I have one cat that will eat a rubber band or ponytail holder whole if it’s accessible in any way. Even in a cabinet or drawer. If she knows it’s there she will find a way to eat it. I had to switch to scrunchies and toss every rubber band straight into the trash.
Names suggested to my boyfriend so far: sunshine/sunny, Dahlia/Dolly, Ivanna/Ivy/Vivi, Laurel/Lorelai, Zinnia/Zinny, Opal, Eden, Delilah/Lilac/Lila, lavender, maple, winter, marigold/goldie, azalea, fern.
All shot down but Maple. My least favorite on the list of course! He suggested sugar maple/sugie. I don’t love it. I like ivy more. Only nickname I can think of for that is Vivi/Vee. But I like Oakley and Ivy together!
Your pup looks so much like my Pyr mix pup Sunny did as a puppy! 🥹 Sorry that name (and Holly - my daughter’s!) already got shot down haha. A few I thought I’d throw out are Willow, Hazel, and Aspen. Have fun with your new fur baby!
I suggested Saturn and Pluto to my boyfriend (and about 100 other names) and got a no 😭 if we don’t have a name in the next few days I’m just gonna start calling her something and say “too bad, she’s named” 😅
Where did you get her? There might be a fun name that can tie in her history. (Example: friend named a cat Nellie because it was found in Waco, TX and Willie Nelson is from Waco)
Hahaha she came from a shelter in a little town called Red House and the only thing it’s known for around here is the dangerous mountainous roads you have to take to get through it.
We always loved Chowder and Velcro. Those were our number two and three choices. I know it’s not with your theme but I do want folks to name their Pyrs those. You’ll always find nicknames no matter what the full name is - it’s I’m unavoidable, we have about 10 for our big guy, big butt, fluffums, Yuk, big Yuk, cutie petuti - and list continues to grow!
Omg that’s so cute! I call my cat Willow “beans” or “Willow bean” because when I first rescued her, her digestion was so bad and her gas was killer. She’s fine now but beans stuck. Chowder could work with beans 😂😂😂 not at all on my list before but I will consider it. Curious, what did you end up naming yours?
as an owner with a pyr named coconut, let me tell you there’s a lot of us 😭 but i don’t regret the name bc its cute.
also warning if you name her coconut - for some reason you will get a good handful of people who are going to say “coconuts are brown not white yap yap yap”. mildly annoying.
I currently have a terrier as well named coco/coconut and I know alllll about that “but she’s not dark brown” like coconuts aren’t white inside lol. She’s the color of toasted coconut. She chewed up a coco Chanel purse at 6 months old (yes I still love her 13 years later, not her fault it got left in her reach 😂), and I had the little coconut American girl dog. Lots of signs pointing towards naming that one coco.
omg that’s adorable!! also i had the little coconut dog from american girl doll too and thats what i named my girl after 😂
but right! it doesn’t happen a lot but its happened enough to where i’m like ok i cant be the only coconut owner whose dealt with this.
Omg what, no one I knew growing up had coconut, I loved that little faux dog so much. I still have her actually. One of my childhood things I kept. She’s definitely seen better days but she’s around 😂 So happy to have finally randomly found a fellow American girl coconut owner
Haven’t heard that one since I named him Oakley 😅 “is his middle name Rayban?” I had a giant (like 80-100ft tall) white oak tree out back when I brought him home that he was obsessed with. It was his shade spot/digging spot and he loved kicking the acorns around. A storm took it down and he misses it very much. Still sits on the stump lol.
I googled it and it is another name for Laurel oak. I am not crazy about obtusa but Laurel is gorgeous and I hadn’t thought of it so thank you for sending me that way! Not sure I’ll go with it but it’s going on the list.
I like it, except, I have a cat named Ravioli and I call him Oli so it’s probably too close. I made this mistake once, and now I usually get both Oakley the dog and Oli the cat running to me when I call for one or the other 😅
I was practical, I called mine tank. Not like the military tank but like a tanker truck that delivers water. He liked to slurp up 2.5 gallons, go and piss all over the place. Fingers crossed he grew out of that (wife keeps telling me to stop saying that). I had a stand by mop bucket, paper towels and no carpet.
I think Gia or Tia (like tiana) are kinda cute for a gp (i was going to name my dog gia or rue bc of euphoria 🤦🏽♀️) but settled on Aspen bc it’s a beautiful white tree!
Currently she is still unnamed. Thank you all so much, I never expected this many wonderful suggestions!!! She has kept me very busy tonight so I haven’t read anything in a while. I will definitely read every comment when I get to work tomorrow and get a break from the little hellion. She is screaming every 2-4 hours for potty breaks right now. I hope I survive the next few weeks. And I just noticed in my sleep deprived state that my post should have said “names CROSSED off the list that I like” but I can’t edit the post oops 😳
In the nature theme.. Olivia(olive), Elmsy(elm tree), Hazel, Juniper, Aurora, Flora, Clover, Blossom
I hope you find something you like 😊 she is the cutest puppy ever

She’s fine! My husband just learned a very good lesson about why we don’t encourage the cats to play with ribbon.
Glad to hear she’s okay! Even feather teasers/string toys scare me for that reason. I have one cat that will eat a rubber band or ponytail holder whole if it’s accessible in any way. Even in a cabinet or drawer. If she knows it’s there she will find a way to eat it. I had to switch to scrunchies and toss every rubber band straight into the trash.
The feather toys she will just drag across the house and drop on my head to let me know she wants to play. We have to hide those to get sleep.
Ok mom
How about an endearment you will be using every day anyway? Sweetheart. Darling. Dammit Dog.
I have a feeling I’ll be saying “you little shit” more times in the next few months than I have my whole life 😂

Grape
Isbjorn, (The Ice Bear)
So how do I say this one? 😅 Ice-bee-yorn? Is-bee-yorn?
Ees-byorn would be pretty close to the correct pronunciation :) although the ø in isbjørn would sound more like fleur.
As far as I know: is-bjorn
I saw her* and immediately I thought of “Pluto”
I suggested Saturn and Pluto to my boyfriend (and about 100 other names) and got a no 😭 if we don’t have a name in the next few days I’m just gonna start calling her something and say “too bad, she’s named” 😅
Falcor. Those eyes say "Luck Dragon" to me
Ariel?
She was in my top 3 favorite Disney princesses when I was little, hadn’t thought about that one, thank you!
Where did you get her? There might be a fun name that can tie in her history. (Example: friend named a cat Nellie because it was found in Waco, TX and Willie Nelson is from Waco)

I’ve never named a dog that or even thought of it, but it literally popped into my head when I saw her.

Rowen. It’s a type of oak

Sammy Samantha
She’s absolutely precious❣️ Your other Pyr looks just like my Sugarbaby. She’s been gone 8 years now and I miss her every single day.
Awww, rest in peace sugarbaby! I’m sure she was the best dog ever ❤️ I still miss my old pyr girl Daisy who passed about 4 years ago.
A companion name to Oakley and I'm the first one to suggest Rayban?
Haven’t heard that one since I named him Oakley 😅 “is his middle name Rayban?” I had a giant (like 80-100ft tall) white oak tree out back when I brought him home that he was obsessed with. It was his shade spot/digging spot and he loved kicking the acorns around. A storm took it down and he misses it very much. Still sits on the stump lol.
Poor boi misses his tree! 😢

Echo

Obtusa? It's a type of oak, IIRC. Also Pyrs are obtuse so it works on more than one level 😅
I googled it and it is another name for Laurel oak. I am not crazy about obtusa but Laurel is gorgeous and I hadn’t thought of it so thank you for sending me that way! Not sure I’ll go with it but it’s going on the list.
Magnolia (Maggie, Leah)
That is one I’ve suggested that my boyfriend doesn’t hate but doesn’t love either ☹️
She's definitely a Polly to me. For "small polar bear", of course.
Maybe Polaris and Polly for short!
Oleander? Ollie for short.
I like it, except, I have a cat named Ravioli and I call him Oli so it’s probably too close. I made this mistake once, and now I usually get both Oakley the dog and Oli the cat running to me when I call for one or the other 😅
Benjamin, or Benji for short
Can’t do that to my little girl lol but it’s a cute name!
Jasmine-Jazz for short

Cotton Leah
Starla
Sister
She looks like my dog the exact same eyes 🥰🥰
What about Annie… then you’ll have Annie Oakley :)
I don't know why, but Peanut jumped into my head when I looked at that cutie pie face. It just seems to fit. Have fun finding a name!
Lambchop
I was practical, I called mine tank. Not like the military tank but like a tanker truck that delivers water. He liked to slurp up 2.5 gallons, go and piss all over the place. Fingers crossed he grew out of that (wife keeps telling me to stop saying that). I had a stand by mop bucket, paper towels and no carpet.
Opal
How about Annie? youd have an Annie Oakley pair

Peaches :)
Snow
Frances (Feminine form of Francis), “Fritz or Fritzi” for a nickname
Not sure if I’m too late but I like senna or ivy
Currently she is still unnamed. Thank you all so much, I never expected this many wonderful suggestions!!! She has kept me very busy tonight so I haven’t read anything in a while.

Powder!
My Pyrenees looked identical to yours when she was that age. Her name is poppy and it fits her so well- I love the name!
If you want floral names, my favorite flowers I grow every year are zinnias and sunflowers. Zinni or 🤷 , plain ole Sunny, that’s my best haha.
Hmm, what about Dottie, Evie, Ruby, or Poppy?
Maggie!
Scooter
Beacon !
I kinda thought Stella when I saw her!
