Maybe his name should be Lucky?

What a lucky guy to have a home with you. If I can adapt to a kitten after 40 years since my last one you’ll do great with your youngster.

Best news I’ve read today! He’s a cutie fod sure. ( Rip or Kaycee )

I like 2- syllable names with a good vowel, I think it’s good to have names that are easy to say ( but still seem to fit the pup) so Lucky, Ranger, Rocky, Rusty come to mind.
He might look
like a Farley- something about the ears.
Maybe some more of his personality traits or doggie expressions will start to emerge.

Congratulations!

Finnegan Begin Again!

Of course he's already stolen your hearts! I'm thinking abut Hop-a-long Cassidy with his broken leg. Hoppy or Hop for short. Quirky, I know.

OMG! He's gorgeous! Lucky him! Love you are naming him a Western name- Flint, Beau, Gus, Ash or Blue!

Judge, Kidd, Marshall, Doc (lol), Frisco...

I really liked the names you picked out...Mavrick and Scout

I think Jinx is on to something. How about Noble? I actually had a doctor with this as a first name.

He couldn’t be in a better home than yours. Looking forward to all your updates.

As you know, our family always had Dobermans. We had three ( one after the other), then my dad and his dumb second wife had two, and now my brother has one. Such terrific dogs. Five of them were named Rip! So I vote for the name Rip for your new baby.

We have a Scout (named from the character in "To Kill A Mockingbird".) She is Scouty or "you lazy lump" 99% of the time.

I grew up with a Dobe who was named (not by me) "Spot" She equally responded to "Miss Spotzina" . She was a smartie.

My first thought was Wyatt. I don’t know why.

Clay?

Henry?

He kinda looks like he could be a Henry.

My nephew’s rescue Coon mix is a Henry

He looks so sweet with your daughter and he did hit the jackpot coming to your care so how about JACK ???

Bonanza - It's a bonanza that the two of you found each other. He looks like such a cutie.

Oh wow, congratulations! I was thinking of you since I saw a neighbor walking a beautiful Doberman just the other day.

I love him and would name him Tex. congrats!

John Wayne of course! Enjoy, he’s cute and a rescue will love you forever ❤️

Oh I am so glad I looked at this thread today. I was about to say oh I hope they "foster faii" and then I read that is the plan all along. He sure is a good looking boy and it certainly sounds like you were all meant to be together.

I have no ideas for a name but I kind of agree that 2 syllables seem to make sense. I was going to say we had all 2 syllable names for our dogs but I then remember we had a Jane and she did fine with her name.

Congratulations Lynn. He’s beautiful. I saw him and immediately thought of Arthur, for King Arthur, dont know why.

Lynn, he is a doll! So beautiful. Your family is wonderful to take him in. Then again, just look at him! How could anyone not love that face!

Keep us posted and let us know when you have named him. No one knows his personality like you, but from looking at his face I love Arthur or any human name. I once knew a Floyd. I always love that one!

Congrats!

So happy for you! My neighbors unexpectedly lost their beloved dog and named their "new" fur baby Nova.

Laird, for laird of the manor, which I know he will be. Enjoy him, and love that you chose to adopt, not shop!

He’s so handsome! I’ve never seen an uncropped Doberman before, his head looks rather like a dachsund, doesn’t it, with those ears.

You’ll have to see what his personality is, to discover his name. That will be fun!

So wonderful!

Since he broke his hip, that makes him a real hipster. According to the internet, the #1 name for a hipster is Sonny, so I vote for Sonny.

I suggest you use a Native American name for its uniqueness, meaningfulness, and acknowledgement of the people whose land we live on, especially in the Southwest.

Congratulations on your new addition! I am still so sorry for your loss of Knight. I hope your new pup begins to aclimate (and potty train) soon. You are so wonderful for adopting him. The first NM related name that comes to my mind is Mesquite.

It's interesting how we all approach naming our pets. Other than a gray and white tuxedo cat we named Penguin, all our/my animals are given names we like without a whole lot of thought behind them.

Trooper.

Cochise.

What a wonderful story! He's beautiful.

He’s adorable!

Oh my what a gorgeous guy! I love the suggesting a name game.

I like James for him. Shrug. I know it's a human name.

Congratulations! He's beautiful, and how lucky you all are to have found each other!

Names...Wyatt? Cody? Sundance (Sonny)? Our friends had a Ridgeback named Chile...could be appropriate for NM!

yeonassky, I love human names for pets.

Thanks for sharing this, and best wishes for his continued improving health. What a sweet boy!

He actually looks like a Frank to me.

He's beautiful. I wonder about a name from something Mexican or Indian related that could come from your kitchen with the way you deal so nicely with foods. Something like Churro...you did say he is sweet!

I was going to suggest Shiloh, but that isn't a western name. How about "Newman" for Paul Newman, who was in a few western movies (and he is the "new man" in your life!).

How wonderful for all of you! His luck (and life) has sure taken a turn for the better!

I actually like one syllable names ... Beau (short for Beauregard), Boone, Quinn ...

Congrats! He is one lucky dog. We are going to need more photos.

What a handsome boy! He looks very sweet as well. Congratulations to you all!

@LynnNM - sent you a DM - sometimes I get notifications but not always so tagging you here in case.

Thank you so much, DLM!

Congratulations, he is a lovely guy. Wishing you many years of happiness together.

Congratulations! He is beautiful.

Lynn, I saw your post while reading and trying to type the other day -- when Lulu was on top of my hand and laptop. I just read through this thread again and realized I never posted. First a congrats and a thank you for being there for his special needs. As Sprinroz said -- I thank the Universe for bringing the right dogs and people together. We have some very happy families and it's a great way to start a new year.

I didn't have any names to offer -- I like Maverick, Scout, Knight and Bishop, but a name has to fit the dog. Have you picked one yet? Lulu picker hers. I started with Lucy, Luna, Maya, Missy, Sandy, Molly and some others. I said Lulu just thinking out loud with L names when she didn't respond to Lucy or Luna. She picked Lulu. Not a favorite of ours necessarily, but it will become a loved name because it is hers. Lulu it is.

Lynn, have you chosen a name for your pup yet?

Congratulations! He is a beauty and couldn't have found a better home. Enjoy!
