Naming Question - Page 1

Quick question - I am getting a male pup out of SG Vegas von der Burg Hinte and this litter is the "E" litter. He was born April 1st and I'm pretty set on naming him Fenrir (first born son of Loki in Norse mythology); the question is, how appropriate would it be to use the name 'E. Fenrir vom Duttenhof'? The contract requires that the name start with "E" and I am not partial to most of the "E" names I have come across.

I never understand this preoccupation some people have with using the registered name of the dog  as it's day-to-day call name. (Unless of course it is a name that you DO like !)  Choose some 'E' name for all the 'official' stuff, but call him Fenrir at home.

People do occasionally use a single letter in front of the main name, often for the purpose you suggest, so it isn't unheard of. JMO, but I think that is clumsy. I don't know whether or not doing it confuses any computerised systems anywhere ?

Agree with Hundmutter

Hundmutter is right. But on the bottom right of screen under "extra" list's dog names. You've probably seen them but lots of choices for e names, Eros Fenrir I don't think is bad but check it out if you haven't.

Bic62013  nice addition ! 

Here in the UK where BREEDERS name and register the litters, the owners usually do not pick an 'official' name for their puppy; new owner therefore is stuck with breeder's choice.  Since the majority of people then put the dog's papers in a drawer & forget them, many people do not even remember what the pup was initially called !

[ And some ideas for the perfect registration names can be hell to call out a part of, in public also!  Unpronounceable; embarassing; too many syllables, etc etc - for instance, a dog I had, born in an A litter, was named the Tolkeenesque 'Devat Adunamoir';  the breeder had renamed him 'Taz' for everyday & training purposes before he ever came to me !]
