"N"

OK, Folks! Today - I am asking you for an "N" - a NAME!! It is quickly becoming a big ordeal at our house - I am not a person that likes discord and this is becoming a source of discord around here. One of these precious babies will be coming to live at my house on May second. OH - the cat is out of the bag - we made it 4 days before telling Sean about his 40th birthday gift. Sean lost his beloved, Red, also a German Shorthair, almost 3 years ago - Maybe I will tell his story tomorrow ... anyway. We will get a female and for field purposes, she will hunt and possibly do Field trials, we need a one syllable name.
To give you a small idea, the only name we have all somewhat agreed on was Tinkerbell, and call her "Tink" or "Bell". Sean came up with that (shocking) and I really liked it until Jake pointed out the obvious - "Paris Hilton's dog is Tinkerbell!" and now that is all I think of when I hear the name... It needs to be one syllable cuz when you give commands in the field it should be short and sweet and the name is attached because it is often that you are hunting with several people and their dogs... OK so go for it - give us lots of name ideas. Weird, funny, cute, serious - whatever!! We would love to hear your ideas!!

Peggy; the short version could be Peg.
Or
Sue. If she is the Runt of the liter you can call her Suey. as in "soooo-eeee". :)

I think you should name it after some montana place. Place names are good dog names. Madison for instance. Or some place up in glacier.

also think pearl would be good.

Mae or May
Shep

Spots
Sally (Sal)
and so forth...

Rose is a German name(since that's her breed's origin)..so is Dell, meaning bright and noble.
Cute little babies! Good luck with your pup.
