This little dude needs a name. He's a 13 week old Silken Windhound. I have several names that I like and I just can't decide on one for him. I'm currently calling him Dipper but I'm not sure if I'm going to stick with that or not. He's a pretty typical puppy at this point, sweet, silly, playful, generally a pretty easygoing little dude. Here are the names I'm debating right now:

Dipper
Pip (either Pippin or just Pip?)
Kite
Ping
Stitch

I'm open to name suggestions, too... nothing that has similar sounds to my current boys (I love the name Cairo, but I call Rowan "Ro" a lot so it's off the table.) I live with a Linus, too, so again nothing too similar. His litter name is Lightning and I was mixing them up a lot, haha.

 

[MicksMom]

Of the names you listed, I like Stitch and Dipper. He's adorable.

 

[sassafras]

How about Flip, since you have Dipper and Pip on the list.

 

[joce]

Pippin and Linus are my likes!!

 

[Stingr69]

He's a Wind hound, so how about "Puff"

..or maybe "Zephyr"

 

[GatorDog]

Don't ask me why, but the name Conan popped into my head.

 

[FG167]

I like Pip!

 

[Elrohwen]

I love all things Pip, Pippin, Pippa, etc. I can't use the name because I know Welshies with every version of the name, so you should use it so I can live vicariously through your Pip.

Stitch is super cute too. And Linus!

Pip was immediately my favorite too, but Kite is unique and elegant enough for a sighthound and playful enough for an energetic boy and plus he's a WINDhound and... yeah I think Kite gets my vote.

 

[teacuptiger]

Kite fo sho He's such a cutie

 

[milos_mommy]

Kite is for sure my favorites!

I've known a few pippin/pips, a few "Stitch"es, but no Kites, Pings, or Dippers. Kite just seems the most regal and fitting

 

[k9krazee]

I like Kite too! Or Dapper -- He looks like a Dapper Dude to me!

 

[Red.Apricot]

Elsie's littermate is Kite--it's a good name. :]

Otherwise I like Pip.

 

[Landshark!]

I like Pippin the most out of all of the names you listed.

 

[Domestika]

The first name that I thought of when I saw the pics was "Laika". First dog in space, baby! (ok, that's not relevant haha)

 

[Beanie]

I also vote for Kite!

 

[meepitsmeagan]

Fli and Dapper are ADORABLE.

Kite is neat as well.

I'm just excited Bramble didn't work. Muwahaha.

I don't know why, but I think Declan would suit him as well.

 

[Annabell]

Ooh I love Kite! Never thought of naming a dog that, but I think it would suit him well.

Oh and he's basically just the cutest puppy ever and you must post more photos.

 

[ShacksWorkingDog]

Pippin!

 

[Ilovedogs56]

Another vote for Dipper and Pippin!
