HelpRe: How would you name a Scottish Terrier?
in reply to a message by Belphoebe
I've always had a secret longing for three male Scotties: Angus, Fergus and Magnus.
But if I ever get another one, it'll be female: Sonnet, because, Dark Lady.
Scotties I've actually owned and named: all female -
Bingo
Bonnie, who became Bonzo as her personality developed
Tessa, who resembled a boy I was teaching at the time; his name was Altus, so, Son Altesse -> Tessa
Squib, who dribbled nervously when we collected her and was therefore damp. The rest of the family thought she deserved something more distinguished, and started going through the names of Scottish towns. I had one foot in plaster, and she used to gnaw it contentedly when she was teething. One evening, DH said "What about Dundee?" just as she bit the wrong foot and I screeched loudly "She's got jaws like a crocodile!" This led to her full name being Squibodile Dundee, but she was mostly Squib or Squibbles (which was Squib + Dribbles).
