Our family is still tossing around names for our new puppy. The first day he was "Truman" but the Munchkins kept forgetting it and Mr. MrsMama finally voted 2 thumbs down. Today the puppy was "Custer", but Master Munchkin kept calling him Custard by mistake and I got tired of listening to Miss Munchkin correct him incessantly. So tomorrow he shall be "Ranger". Ranger has a nice ring to it and can be easily remembered and pronounced; we'll see how it fits.
Other names considered, and rejected:
- Scout
- Neo
- Amigo
- Tozer
- Lincoln
- Hank (as in cowdog)
- Austen (as in Jane)
- Pees-a-Lot! (Lancelot's cousin)

Cute! I like Scout too. I'm a fan of literary references!
My neighbor has a brittany/lab mix and it is the BEST dog! Lucky you. :)
All those names are neat. I love Ranger though. Too bad Custer didn't work out.
My kids named the dog Link as in Legend of Zelda.
I think we're the only grown ups who have named their dog after a video game hero. When I'm around really smart people, I always pretend like it's short for Lincoln, as in Abraham. Usually one of the kids pipe up and ruin it for me though.
Scout would have been awesome, but I am biased... massive 'Mockingbird' fan!
Two names I love are Duncan and Cooper!! Must say Truman made me smile too!
Ann, I am glad to hear it's a good combo!
Alisa, I really like Link - because it reminds me of the Internet and the guy in Prison Break.
Dawn, Cooper is a great name! Dang. Now another one for the short list. :)
Can I put in my vote? "Austen" immediately jumped out of the list at me. Such a dignified name to put with that adorable face. He'll be a companion and protector for your kids for many years and who wouldn't want to have an "Austen" as their best buddy? (Besides it's a good sounding name to yell out the back door when you call him.)
He will forever be Truman to me.
