German Shepherd dog

I love the name Brazen.  Also Brix, Banshee, Bolero - will look at my list for others as my brain just went blank.

molly

I'm partial to the name Bacardi (Yes, like the drink) or Baja (Pronounced Ba-Ha) those are my top two favorites.

If you think she will be flashy, in appearance or demeanor, what about "Bling"?

Ooooo I like Brazen. And one of my boys was Brixx.

How about Bella.... Just Bell for short.

Bella is a bit too fem, seems like a poodle kind of name.  Thanks for the great suggestions so far!

let's see....Bordeaux, Bond....(Jane Bond), Bindi, Bonaparte, Bengal,  Blessed, Black, Brandy, Beaver, Brie, Bemage, Brianne, Bammi, Bambi, Beezelbub...ok, brain went tilt...but I know there are some really good 'b' names out there! jh 

Bane.  Short, sweet, so descriptive, flows nicely with commands.

Beta, Bo, the obvious Blacky, naw that one sucks.    Back to the drawing board.

Bree

Battle ax.......................  ?

Kalibeck hit on my favorite girl dogs name, Brandy.

i would suggest "Bonkah"

Ok , I  can't believe no one else thought of this ! 

sounds like

( BEE---- AACH)      

spell it how ever you want. 

so your future description of her would be: 

SHE SOLID BLACK  AND SHE'S A   BEE---AACH   !!

  LOL  !!

BEEAACH       HIIIIIEEEEEERRRR !!

BEEAACH       FOOOOOOOOSSSE !!

seriously ,  I love coming up with names,   the meanings are special to me. 

Good luck !

Beeeotch is how I call mine!

ah so     only one name belong on solid black female    Japanese name BASAI       roundeye pronounce Baa(Sigh)    it mean ,To Storm the Fortress

I like Baretta - also Baracuda.  I like tough names for strong females :)

If you're naming after race horses...Barbaro! jh

Bacall, Bogie,Bank, Beam(er) - little whisky girl if he likes country music.., Bail, Brig, Brick, Blade, Blink,

Belladonna

Bimini

Blaze reminds me of another name I like - Blade

How about Blanka, Bristol, or Brazen?

With Bacall you can usa Baca or Cally for a call name... Baca is good for a hard ass or Cally if she is a littel more feminine. Thougth of a bad one.  Don't let him name her Boca  - the vegetarian burger.

Bullett ,Beta

Baracuda... for the dog that bites like an alligator

If you're going to consider "Banshee" as suggested above, that's the pronunciation.  The correct spelling is bean sídhe.

"Badb"  - "Crow" (as she is black) or "Badb Catha"  - (Battle Crow)

"BOLO" - be on the lookout

And another correction.

An intersting, however prejudicial "comment", especially considering the source.

For your information, the bean sídhe was most often in the form of a woman and only "cried out" as a forewarning of the time of death.  Originally, it was limited to 5 of the major Irish families - the Cavanaughs, the O'Briens, the O'Connors, the O'Neils and the O'Gradys.  That expanded as intermarriage did.  She could appear as a young woman, a stately old matron, or a bedraggled old hag and usually in a winding sheet. 

Most often "she" was seen as the wailing heard as the bean nighe - the "washer woman" - who was washing the blood out of the clothes of the one (or those) who were about to die within those original families.  Not unlike the duties, wailing and preparation of the body that those who may or may not have been your own ancestors displayed after the death of someone in a community, family or plantation and have continued to displayed.  The difference was that the death was "foreseen". The difference is is that the Irish don't continue to display that wailing publicly after death.  There was no incessant wailing of the bean sídhe after death. That would be disrespectful of the one resting peacefully and disturb their (perceived) restful peace. Prior to death she can be heard as the bean chionte, who emits a piercing scream that shatters glass.  She can also be so compasionate as to emit a low, soothing almost "singing" sound.  Either way, both are bean sídhe.

There are several forms that a bean sídhe, perceiving that they might be ignored, can take, not the least of which is a "hooded" crow.  Hence, my suggestion of the "B" names "bean sídhe", "bean sí", as a result of the attempted pronunciation of same posted above, followed by  "Badb"  - "Crow" (as she is black) or "Badb Catha"  as she is a black working dog. 

"Bean sídhe" or "Bean sí", whichever way you choose to spell it, is pronounced the same, and while it might be considered by you as "those nasty Irish creatures", the bean sídhe are less nasty than your own (alleged) ancestors could/would claim or be capable of.  Shall we now explore VooDoo? 

I apologize, Kari.  I wasn't going to get into specifics but what Mystere posted really bothered me and considering the comment and the source, I thought an explaination was in order.

Here's a few I like:

Branda - Sword

Branka - Glorious Protector

Brangwen - Fair Raven

Breann - Force, Strength

Way to ruin a good thread, Fiona -

just because the "correct Gaelic spelling" of a word is one thing, doesn't mean that the same word isn't spelled BANSHEE in ENGLISH.  or AMERICAN.   or, who the heck cares how it's spelled, oh expert on those nasty screaming Banshee women-things in Irish lore.  There are MANY renditions of Banshee-things-creatures-entities.......Whatever.  I have a dog named BANSHEE - it's a great B name no matter what anyone thinks or believes it means or should be spelled (and I wouldn't spell it Bean-si as I don't normally write, think or translate things into Gaelic like you special people do - how many people would automatically know what BANSHEE is, and means - versus BEAN-SI.  I didn't know, thanks so much for educating me on the Gaelic spelling of BANSHEE. 

I like Bella.  It might be well used, but with good reason, it rolls nicely off the tongue.  I too would love to hear how the rest of the world mangles gaelic pronunciation, Nia - I think as usual, you are right on the money.

Eichenluft--you are my hero!  I concur with you 100%!  My Banshee got her name because of course she had to have a "B" name and for the fact that when I brought her home she screamed for 2 solid days--missing her siblings. 

KariM--Banshee is an excellent name for a workingline female.

I'm with radarsmom.  I like "Bling" as in bling bling.

Mystere and Molly:  What the hell makes either of you think that an international board is limited or should be limited to only English/American names and spellings?  Where the hell do you two get off?

Mystere:

What I posted originially was information for the OP giving her a choice.  Is it possible that <<gasp>> a German or other European nation judge would possibly be judging the dog in the future? You may be ignorant.  Not everyone is.  It wasn't until you opened your mouth and piped up with,

Can't wait to see the German (or American for that matter) confronted with and attempting to pronounce names with Gaelic spelling. LOL

did I respond further with an explanation - this after ignoring your previous post of:

...strikes terror in the hearts of those who know what those nasty, Irish creatures were supposed to be capable of. ... .

Then, as if in a further attempt to show your ignorance and idiocy, you post this:

And thank you also for showing your true colors, Fiona. I would expect nothing more from you and you certainly did not disappoint, including your racist references. PLEASE do stay in the backwoods where you can pass for intelligent.

Nor did you disappoint, Mystere, about your own racism or your ignorance.  So, for Halloween, are you going to be the pot or the kettle?  Do everyone a favor and take your own advice.  Clearly, the backwoods are about the only place you can pass for intelligent.

Molly:

You might benefit from that spelling in the future.  At the rate you pump out dogs you'll be burning through "B" names in no time and will have to resort to other than English/American in no time.  What are you up to now?  Still can't answer the questions that were asked before?  Should I post them again for you? 

Now, if you two pieces of work want to look at who ruined the thread you take a good, hard look at yourselves. 

This (certainly not backwoods and previously) Californian - relocated to Tennessee - can only say to the two of you, in keeping with what I'd submitted earlier,

Póg mo thóin Éireannach.

I guarantee that the more educated here and the Europeans on this board, and those living in most major European countries, won't have to look that up to translate.  The likes of you two will.

Oh, and one other thing.  How many pups have you purchased from Molly, Mystere?  How many did you return?  How many times have you recomm

(to continue)

How many times have you recommended her as a breeder of working dogs that perform?  How many times have you denounced her?  Do tell?

Talk about a sudden marriage made in hell.

You two deserve each other.

LOL Molly. 

You have plenty to say when it doesn't involve answering a few simple questions that you should readily be able to answer as a breeder, don't you?  Not in any way informed or intelligent, but plenty to say in your own mind.

Do you need a reminder of those questions?  Do you think anyone else does?

It's only 8:35 p.m. your time.  Don't you need to run and breed another litter?

I like the name Burn....but I did just name my female Bean.I like to fool people with the name..she sound's so sweet and little doesn't she?

Berta (Bear....ta)

is my little girl's mom

Bara and Bella were from our B litter.

I don't know Molly from Adam. I just notice you make a moron of yourself every time she posts. It's kinda cute, you're like her little puppy dog, only much more ill behaved than her actual dogs, I'd hazard to guess.

And actually, I study Celtic history avidly, it's a hobby of mine. I know damn well the various spellings. All I saw was you starting drama.  As usual. Get a life, or maybe some credentials of your own before you get your panites in a twist over someone else's.

I used    Bara, Bacardi, Brit, best of luck ..

I'll bet you don't.  Now, you take your happy little ass and go back through the threads and run right back and tell us how many of Molly's posts since I've been here that I've responded to.  Run along now and busy yourself.  Then, pay close attention to how many I've ignored.  Post the numbers or shut up.

KCzaja, who the hell do you think you are kiddiing?  Not only did you post this particular farce without addressing what I posted above (you, the great study of Celtic history - ROFLMAO!) but you, the great study, didn't have the knowledge to be able to comment either of my spellings of the phonetic "banshee", the  

Even more laughable is that you didn't address, any more than Molly or Mystere did, the phrase "Póg mo thóin Éireannach" in my response to them.  Oh, we'll wait now until you find a site that translates for you, too. 

When you finally do pull your head out of either of their arses, consider a study of the Gaelic language country to country and tribe to tribe.  You are so well learned, it's such a hobby of yours, and you damn well know the various spellings, as you said.

I notice that you didn't correct mine?  Which is is?  You don't know what the hell you're bragging about or you "forgot" in your post.

Which Gaeil translation shall I give you to contribute to your alleged education and "studies"?  Irish? You clearly didn't understand that.  Scottish?  Shall I go on?

Do keep posting, Fiona. I need the material: to answer your Halloween question (racist though it was--displaying, again, the stuoidity (and low self-esteem), I've decided to dress up for Halloween this year disguised as YOU!! I've ordered the hooded sheets and everything! LOL

Once again showing your lack of comprehension, "Mystere"? 

What a fake, superficial bitch you are.  You have ordered hooded sheets to dress up as a "Halloween" costume?  You aren't a disgrace, you are below a disgrace

LOL Fiona - you are pitiful and tiresome.  Go away now, bye-bye Fiona, to the medicine cabinet (or liquor cabinet) for you now.  Ta-ta Fiona. 

molly

My apologies, everyone.

That should have read:  "unwilling" to rather than "unable", as I posted.

The question still stands.  Molly, are you publicly accusing me of being some sort of drug addict or alcoholic as per your post?

Fiona, get it through your head - I don't care what you think about my dogs or my program.  You have never met even one of my dogs.   You have never met me.  You don't know anything about me or my program other than what you've seen on my website (which you must visit often, jealous people do that sometimes, you should try to stop), and what you have heard from your  mentally unstable mentor?/breeder you chose to buy a puppy from.  Maybe you should look further into what she has produced (or not produced) and what her accomplishments with dogs from her breeding program have been (or have not been) - or how about concentrating more on training your dog to any sort of title/certification/accolades, so you have something to brag about.  And yes, I'd say something is seriously wrong with you - if alcohol or meds are not helping you, then perhaps a visit to the shrink may be something to think about, ok Fiona?  Go away now.
