Getting a new dog soon

[One Bad Pig]

My brother in law had a black lab named Trouble.

I can just hear you hollering as you go down the street after he escapes the house.

"Trouble! Where are you? Here, Trouble!"

That's how we made sure we named our cats good names.

I will be asking for trouble! Just like I always do.

But Trouble is a cool name. It could be prophetic or ironic.

If I name it Jack, my brother's friend has a dog named Jacky already that is always at his house and it could be confusing.
I could name it Jake, but CP has a dog named Jake.

I don't like Zeke. And I like Harpo better than Banjo.

I am kinda liking Jake. Wonder what CP thinks of that? Plagiarism!!!!

Well, since the 2 Jakes wouldn't likely be within hearing distance of each other most of the time, I think you would be safe in commandeering that name.

But when we talk about our dogs on tweb or post on facebook it would be confuserating. Jake1 & Jake2?

Jake the Elder and Jake the Younger?

Jake the Elder and Jake the Younger?

I like it!

Jake has matured, he wants to be called Jacob. Pronounced the Hebrew way.

no more Jakey-wakey-poo?

[mossrose]

no more Jakey-wakey-poo?

Leaves that kind of talk wide open for you.

[Cow Poke]

no more Jakey-wakey-poo?

Nobody claimed that.

[Sparko]

Nobody claimed that.

So if I name my dog Jake the Younger, would Jake the Elder be honored or dismayed that such a tiny furball would deign to abscond with his name?

He'd be honored.

That's like my idea of naming a dog either Grandma or Grandpa so folks could overhear you saying things like "Grandma! Get off the couch." or "Grandpa! Did you poop in the house again?"
