Just for fun:
I would welcome any input you have on the following names. Right now our pup is only 7 weeks and still with her mama. She is a black standard poodle, one of the biggest in her litter. Her mama is 75+ lbs and over 28 inches at the shoulders so she's going to be a big one...
We won't name her officially until we get to know her but I'd like the list to be a little more narrowed down!

What color is she? Any personality traits you know yet?
I like your name choices! I personally usually don't decide for sure on a name 'til I "know" my pet, so any info would help me narrow down name choices!
Of course, a pic would be best.... I'm always up for cute pup pics!

I personally don't like human names for animals. A friend of mine growing up had a dog named Sasha, and for a long time it was hard for me to think of Sasha as anything but a dog name. It was so awkward when I met a woman named Sasha in college!

I said Lola... i think for a dong that would be super cute!

I like Cinder(s), especially for a black girl dog!!

I voted for Poppy because I like two syllable names ending in y or ie for girl dogs. When we got our girl I had a list of over 30 names, all of them two syllables and ending with y or ie.

Thanks everyone for your input! Keep 'em coming!
So far my favourites are Poppy and Lola, with Maisy and Libby tied for second. My son's top pick is Cinder. The girls are keen on Poppy because we have a version of The Frog Prince with Princess Poppy as the main character.

Thanks everyone!

Other suggestions are also welcomed!
A couple other options I have thought of:
Briar
Tuesday

I am not doing a very good job of narrowing down the list am I?

I like Cinder, because I like 2 syllable names for dogs, and try to avoid people names for a very similar reason to Ruthla. Briar is my second favourite.

I also don't like human names for animals. It just seems weird to me.

I love the name Cinder. It is so pretty

ooooooh, another vote for Cinder - I love that name for a dog! Especially a black dog! And can't wait to see sweet photos of your new puppy!

I like cinder too, but you will inevitably end up calling her cindy in moments of affection, so if that's ok with you, then...

I like human names for animals, but we've met way too many dogs named lucy for my liking...

I actually really like maisy, lola and poppy too, and didn't vote because I can't decide. I like cinder, but it doesn't roll off the tongue very easily, which is why I think you'd mostly end up calling her cindy... do post pics when you get them!

That's my problem with Cinder too. That, and I can't seem to get away from feeling it sounds kind of negative - burnt to Cinders, or Cinderella are two images that accompany the name in my head!

I'm kind of liking Tuesday though!
