I’m getting a puppy this week. The proposed name is cookie. What to do?

    Name them cookie! Unless you don't want to.

    Haha, I don't. But my kids kind of do. I doubt they are being influenced by any trends as they wouldn't be familiar. Luckily cookie is the second choice. First choice was buttcrack, which has been nixed.

    Buttcrack is a fantastic name.

    One of my cats is Sphincter.

    SatansMaggotyCumFart, that's a nice thing to say. However, I think we have differing views on nice names to choose.

    I just don't think I want to call out "here buttcrack, here girl. That's right, do a poo buttcrack" at the dog park. Maybe it's different with cats as you don't tend to speak to them in the same way due to their underlying contempt.

    Maybe cookie in a different language? My late doggo was named Ringo, which is apple in Japanese, but dad named him like that, because he was spinning around - riņķot, to spin, riņķoja, spun around - just altered to a usable name.

    Haha, cookie is already American English and we're Australian and Irish. Maybe that's enough. Or we should go the other way and call her biscuit or tim tam.

    My grandmother had a dog called toffee as a child, so I like that. My parents in law had 2 jack Russel's called rom and Jerry. So a cartoon character is an option too.
