Ok, I'm finally back from NM and low and behold the breeder finally sent Daisy's registration papers!! So, now I am trying to decide on her registered name? I've never had a registered dog. Are there rules to naming? Can you just use the dog's name that you call them daily?
AKC Registered Name

Nope - not really any rules, but sometimes the breeder has a litter 'theme' like 'A' litter and all the pup's registered names start with 'A'.
Daisy was from the B litter which meant her registered name is *kennel name* Bellis - which means Daisy in latin /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/eek.gif Some breeders have a more specific theme, like cars, movies, words etc.
My sibe was our first pedigree dog and we named him Huskytrail Micha Zhivago, so he had his call name and his 'second' name was for the russian movie Dr Zhivago.
You can have so much fun with registered names!! There is a letter restriction, I think its 25 - but it does include the kennel name. So if the kennel name is (for eg) BEAGLE then you have 19 letters to play with (including spaces) for your dogs registered name.
You can also look at the parents names and have a play on that. What is the kennel name/how many letters do you have to work with?
ETA: I have heard some hillarious ones over the years. Over here we have a show Border Collie whose registered named is *kennel* fallen angel, call name is Splat - /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/lol2.gif
I love when the registered names is a play on words with the call name. I know some mini schnauzers with the names:
Kyushu Fire Krakka
Call name - 'Sparky'
Kyushu Play Hard To Get
Call name - 'Teaser'
I've heard another one which was *kennel* Don't Funk with me - call name funky /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/smile.gif
There are so many great ones.

I don't think that there are many rules for naming. I just registered Zoey and I went thru alot of webpages looking at differant names and the trend seemed to be Owners name-dog description-name the dog is called daily. I named her "Joshua's Impossible Zoey". She got the name because as I was in the process of registering her she was on a mission to steal the AKC papers from my hand. Shes big enough now that she can jump in my lap and managed to snatch the papers off the computer desk twice /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/animal18.gif

I've only had one registered dog, and I named him myself. His name was: Bocephus (I like Hank Williams, Jr.) Bayenne (Bo seldom barked, his vocalizing was a beautiful bay) Bleu (for the tone of his bays).
Bocephus Bayenne Bleu was a good-looking fellow and, I believe, very aptly named. /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/sleep.gif We still fondly recall his wonderful baying.
Let us know what you decide will be Daisy's registered name.

I was told by a few different people that if you don't give your dog a first and last name the AKC will assign the number as the last name (or example "Abby the sixth")....not sure if that is actually true though.
I thought long and hard about Abby's "registered" name. I settled on Abby Coralynne Miller /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/tired.gif I wanted her to have a "human" sounding name. Cora and Lynne are special family names so I smushed them together and made them her middle name since "Abby" fit her so perfectly.

Chloe is registered with UKC, and I chose her name.
I had no idea what to put on Maggie's registration papers so I just put Maggie May, then added Noel to the end because she was born on Christmas Eve.
Her Father's name is Ch Barren Hill's Bow, and her Mother's name is Barren Hill's Lady. But the customer service person I talked to at the AKC said I couldn't name her Barren Hill's Maggie because the breeder didn't give permission to use an AKC registered kennel name.
If you're thinking of using the registered kennel name, check the back of your AKC registration application. Where it says "Litter Owner Step 3", look and see if the breeder signed it. If she did, you can use the kennel name. Hope that makes sense!

Wow, lil maggie, the system definitely works differently in the US than it does here in Oz!
Here, the breeder either decides the registered names or asks the puppy owners, then pays for and sends in the application for the papers. They then send the papers to the puppy owners or gives it to them when they pick the puppy up. There is no option to not include the kennel name, but most pet puppies are on limited registered so it doesn't really matter anyway. You can use the pedigree name when you compete in dog sports like obedience and agility which is cool.

JoJo was my first registered dog and I promised her breeder I'd keep the "Joe" name (her sire's name is Little Joe Vom Donner)since "Joe" is prominent in the line. I knew when she was born I'd call her "JoJo" - her registered name is "Joe's Crescent Moon" - she has a beautiful crescent shape on her left hip. When it came time to name her pups that I kept, I named them after JoJo and Tanna (Mojave Desert Santana - who was already named when I got him) - so they are "Jo-Tan's Little Dancing Joe" (got both parents, AND grandparents - his maternal great grandma is "Windwalker's Dancing Cloud, which I thought was really pretty, in there), and "Jo-Tan's Miracle Angel" - since we almost lost her she was our miracle baby. Their other "boy", my "Jack", I didn't name - except for his "identfying name" that I call all pups by - his was "Jack" for "Little Jack Horner" because he always crept into the corner of the whelping box and got stuck and YELLED to be rescued. The people that bought him kept the "Jack", but his registered name is "Sniff 'n Snack Palouse Jack". Bella was really sick when she was about a month old - so she's my other little angel - but JoJo isn't her mom, Bella's registered name is "My Little Bella Angel". I can't use a kennel name, since I can't participate in AKC activities I can't register a kennel name with them. There are ALL kinds of ways to come up with unusual names. It's kind of strictly up to you - but if you come up with something that's already used, you'll have to have an alternate.
JoJo's dam is "Kinky Little Spot Vom Donner" - they were afraid the "kinky" wouldn't be acceptable, but it was. She is very ticked - hence the "spot", and "kinky" because she had a broken tail as a puppy and it's CROOKED (kinked). /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/tired.gif
IF I were to keep more JoJo/Tanna pups they'd all have the Jo-Tan name.
Here's the AKC site link - you'll find a lot of info there.

I think my all time favorite registered name I have heard of was of a very expensive Field Trial Lab whose name was *kennel* My Wife's Mercedes - and they called her Sadie! I always chuckle at that one!
It is fun when their is a prominent name in the line. Toby's breeder had a top beagle named *kennel* High Speed Chase (PD), his top beagle dad was *kennel* Chase Manhattan (Ace). I think some other one's in the line are Let's Play Chase, The Chase is On, etc.
I also know of a breeder who had a litter on her 50th birthday. She named a female *kennel* I'm Here for the Party (Gretchen) - I thought that was really cute!!
Let us know what you pick!! What fun! I have never gotten to name a dog, mine have come named!

Oh, naming is half the fun! I name all my pets, whether they have names already or not. They get used to it quick. /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/sick.gif
I may end up naming a dog AKC style anyways, if I get a purebred! /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/eek.gif Just for fun.
I always joked that if my Annie had been a purebred, I would have named her Sweet Annie of Clover Hill. (there is no 'clover hill' out here, but I thought it sounded pretty) My mom had a dog named 'Duchess of Rustland' (Rusty) once, too. /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/sick.gif
Although, the long names of the dogs out here seem to be a weather forecast! I've found Storm, Lightning, Thunder, Tornado, etc in their names. /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/angel.gif One of the old breeders from Mojave desert Beagles is named Awful Bawlin' Agnes! /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/coffee.gif
Personally, I've got my own 'long names' in mind. If I get a boy, he'll be Master Robinton of Harper Hall; Robie for short (after a character in my favorite book). If a girl...Hmm, I haven't quite made up my mind yet. Oh, well. I've got plenty of time.

I have always wanted to name a female beagle Delilah - it just sounds so happy and sweet - just like a beagle! Hee hee...there is that song out right now about the girl, Delilah. I could name her What You Do to Me and call her Delilah!! LOL!! O.k., I need to go get a life now and stop sitting around coming up with dog names for dogs I am not getting...
I can't lie, Aliesha, I am a little jealous!! What fun, coming up with a registered name!

Had to laugh at "<u>Awful Bawlin Agnes</u>" - she is an International Field Champion who just happens to be my "Tanna's" mommy /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/icon_idea.gif! If I'm not mistaken, the kennel name is "Awful Bawlin" - so most of the dogs from there have that "Awful Bawlin" in front of their names. Tanna's "name" is "Mojave Desert Santana" - while Mojave Desert does SELL a lot of puppies, they're <u>not all from his line</u>, so if you get a pup from the Mojave Desert line it's probably a really good dog. I have Tanna and 3 of his "kids" from the Mojave Desert Line. Joe, Jack and Angel.
I'm not sure on the proceedure for naming over here but when I got Lilly she already had a kennel name of *kennel name* Rainbow. I chose Rosa's kennel name but it had to start with the kennels prefix. I wanted just *kennel name* Rosa but when the breeder registered her she couldn't get that so used Bellarosa instead which I'm fine with. I don't ever call her Bellarosa but more often Rosabella which I think sounds nicer.
Sherry obviously isn't registered.

Bridey is actually *kennel* Bodacious, and her former owner/handler called her "Bodie". Which I thought was a great name for a foo-foo lap dog but NOT for a hunting dog! So I switched to Bridey, on the theory that it would be close enough in sound to Bodie.
My daughter's (Keely's) German Shepherd is: *kennel* Keelys Good Dog Karl. "Karl" was one of the few word she could say when we got him (she was 20 months old), thanks to her favorite book, Good Dog Carl (yeah, I know he's a rottie. Oh, well).

Silly question here...are the AKC names supposed to be kept somewhat secret? Kind of like how you don't want to give out your own first and last name online? I notice that some of you put *kennel* in front. Just curious.
I have to send in Mugsy's papers. Since Nick wanted him to have a mobster-ish name (he is Italian), we are going to name him Rock City Mobster. People around here call Rockford the Rock City.
Now I just have to find the packet with the paper in it...

Man, this is harder than I thought. LOL!
Her father was Bingo Jo and her mother was Li'l Dandelion so I was trying to come up with something between those two and have Daisy in there somewhere but I'm striking out. Who knew this would be so difficult?! /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/crazy.gif
