EllenEveBaz Posted July 7 Share Posted July 7 I was thinking of the recent female hounds (femmehounds?) we've had in GT with 2-syllable names beginning with "f" -- Fancy, FancyTwo, Fuzzy, Flizzy, Flashy, Fizzy (sorry for all I've probably left out) -- and went down the rabbit hole of one of my favorite brain games -- naming greyhound litters by theme. Wanna do it as a chain game? State the parameters for a litter of at least 6 puppies and the next person has to come up with names for that litter and then leave the instructions for the next litter. You can also chime in just with additions to previous litters, but if that's all your answer is, you can't set new parameters. Clear as mud? Example: One-syllable names that are synonyms of "fast". Answer: Swift, Bolt, Dash, Flash, Zip, Zoom, Dart New Litter: Weather names, any number of syllables and can be one- or two-word names Quote Ellen, with brindle Milo and the blonde ballerina, Gelsey remembering Eve, Baz, Scout, Romie, Nutmeg, and Jeter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FiveRoooooers Posted July 7 Share Posted July 7 (edited) ...naming greyhound litters by theme... How about greyhound "litters" by Roommates! Pagliaccio, Segugio, Sorella, Zeke-aroni, (LadyBug; sorry, she was a littermate!). We then switched it up and went the Irish route Clearly I didn’t understand the rules Edited July 7 by FiveRoooooers 1 1 Quote Old Dogs are the Best Dogs. Thank you, campers. Current enrollees: Punkin. AnnIE Oooh M, Ebbie, HollyBeeBop (Betty Crocker). Angels: Pal . Segugio. Sorella (TPGIT). LadyBug. Zeke-aroni. MiMi Sizzle Pants. Gracie. Seamie . (Foster)Sweet. Andy. PaddyALVIN!Mayhem. Bosco. Bruno. Dottie B. Trevor Double-Heart. Bea. Cletus, KLTO. Aiden 1-4. Upon reflection, our lives are often referenced in parts defined by the all-too-short lives of our dogs.

BatterseaBrindl Posted July 7 Share Posted July 7 Northern Greyhound Adoptions in northern Vermont had themes for the hauls that came up from Florida. We adopted 3 hounds from them... Nixon - Dead Presidents Ruby - Gems Tequila - Liquors. We called him 'Nigel' as that was, in fact, his registered name. Chris's 'Whiskey' came from the same haul. 4 Quote Nancy...Mom to Sid (Peteles Tiger), Kibo (112 Carlota Galgos) and Joshi. Missing Casey, Gomer, Mona, Penelope, BillieJean, Bandit, Nixon (Starz Sammie), Ruby (Watch Me Dash) Nigel (Nigel), and especially little Mario, waiting at the Bridge.
