I'm picking him up tonight. I already met him twice, he is from the shelter and he is a Border collie X Nova Scotia Duck toller but looks more like a border collie. He is very big for his breed, and is very good natured. I wanted to give him a unique name, that is more about his personality than looks. He is quite, yet very energetic. He loves everyone, and he is not shy at all.
Any ideas on something I could name him?
My mom wants to name him Bear, and my sister wants to name him Buddy 2, but nobody in my family wants to name him after my last dog. So please don't say Buddy, because that was my past dog's name.
Thanks!

I have a toller - his name is London. I always wished I named him Teddy because he is my little teddy bear :) pets question and answers,www.5d2d.com

I also think the name Travis fits the breed well.

Congrats!

Chester
Scout
Fandango
Bear (cute name!)
Hachi (my dogs name)
Disco
Winn Dixie
Spanky
Sprocket

Maybe one of these names will ispire you! Personally,I like the name Sprocket, but maybe it wont "fit" your new dog.
Watever name you choose, I hope you have a lot of fun with your new dog!

Name suggestions:
Murphy.
Harley.
Rio.
Doyle.
I think those are unique sweet names :)

There are some websites which can help you with suggestions though, for example:

Hope this helps you out :)

How about Cabot - captian of the first English ship in Nova Scotia

Or - Jed?

I don't know about Muffin. I hear Muffin and I think Bichon... but that may be just me.
