New and need name for male bullmastiff

[my2girls]

Hi everyone! I am fairly new to this site, I originally posted under the introduction part of Chaz. Anyway, my name is Jamie, I am married w/ two little girls, a mixed breed dog Savannah and a female calico mix Asia. We just found a male bullmastiff puppy that we will be getting either the first or second week of December. We can't seem to agree on a name for him to save our lives. He is red w/ a dark black mask and a white patch on his chest.

My husband wants to name him Manning after Peyton Manning and I think it's kind of weird.

I like Maverick, Griffin, and Noah

We are both wanting a "Strong" name for him, since it's a powerful breed that gets so big, but I just haven't found a name that I actually LOVE. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!! Thanks in advance for your help.

German Shepherd Gurl ~ You are so good at coming up w/ names. Thanks for taking the time to help me once again w/ names. There are some on there that I hadn't thought about. OHHHH............. I really don't like Manning and I really hope that we can agree on something that we really like so I don't feel like I'm dominating the decision. Part of the problem is that my mom is getting a puppy and she is an avid Braves fan and is naming her puppy Maddux which I LOVE!!!! Obviously can't use that name huh?? Anyway that's what started my husband thinking of names of sports guys and I am SO NOT into sports!!!!!!

I will keep coming up with more but thats a few to think about anyways.

I think Noah is a cute name... What about Ikaika ("strength" in Hawaiian)? Or Mana ("power in Hawaiian)?

 

[my2girls]

Those are neat suggestions. How do your pronounce the first one? I was thinking Mana would be pronounced the way it looks w/ a short a?

Thank you for your suggestions!

fluffy.. that's a nice strong name

i don't know i always like to see the dogs personality before naming it

 

[bubbatd]

Go Colts and Giants. !!! The Manning brothers will go down in history !! Call him Peyton .... Pat or Eli ... or combination !!!

 

[Lynn]

Name him Trey or Trip for the three colors he has.

 

[my2girls]

Thank you guys for your suggestions! About the Colts thing, we know two little kids named Peyton so I don't want to use that. I like Eli but my husband said that he is leading his team and they will probably play each other and his favorite is Peyton and the Colts!

About Trey, a good friend of ours named her son that so we don't want to use it for that reason.

Since mastiffs get to be very big babies how about Conan the Barberian

names

some of the people i work with have this theory....the dog's personality will take after the name you choose for him/her. haha, its silly, but sometimes i guess it happens. so maybe if you name him something like that he might be a barbarian!

maybe Corona? i really like that for a name, or Kojak? brutus?

my roommate just said juggernaut....

she said it was the name of a battleship, but it makes me think of 13 Ghosts. the Juggernaut was the most vicous ghost of the 13...

good luck!

UM... well this has nothing to do with names but make sure to introduce young bull puppy slowly

Names: Um.. Archilles?? he cud be Arch for short

 

[my2girls]

Sirius ~ What do you mean about introducing him slowly? To other dogs or people or both? We have a female dog that's about 4 y/o and a cat that is 6 months old, and then my mom is getting a puppy 2 weeks b/f we get ours. Hers is a yellow lab. We are also going to start him in obedience classes in Jan.

Thanks for you info! I still have no clue on names, we just can't seem to find one that really sticks. I think one problem is that my other animals are Savannah and Asia and I feel like I need to have a name that goes w/ those two. I know that I will always be calling the dogs together to go out/come in/eat etc.... so it's like I need something that kinda goes together kwim?

[corykins22]

you could name him Mufasa

 

[my2girls]

Corykins~ Good thought! I never thought of that one I will have to run it by my husband. Thanks!
