This weekend we did something a little bit mad, we got ourselves a new puppy. It’ll be another month or so before we go and collect him but after almost 2 years of living in our home and talking about getting a friend for Dexter on a monthly basis. We’ve been speaking to a dog psychologist, yes I’m that person now, my dog has had therapy haha – as Dexter had his own weird behaviours we couldn’t understand, the answer was to get a companion. We decided to get on with it and get a dog sooner rather than later – at basically a year to the wedding when we pick him up – we didn’t want the stress of getting a new puppy settled at the same time as getting married!
We were all set on getting a girl, but fell in love with a sleepy little boy – a Sprocker (Cocker Spaniel and Springer Spaniel mix), so with a girls name picked out, without even the consideration we’d be getting a boy we’re now really stuck on names and are at loggerheads with each other.
Who will look something like this when fully grown
Please leave us some boys names suggestions below, we need a name that sounds different to Dexter, I’m keen on Albus (Dumbledog) but Ben isn’t feeling it. Ben’s keen on Oliver, but I’m not feeling it either!

You had me at Albus Dumbledog! πππ
Orpheus π
How about Rufus
He is so adorable! I love dogs!! I hope to see more posts about him!! My suggestions are ; Smokey, Spark (Sparkie), Smiley, Kiss, Oscar, Spotty (if he will have spots) π
Thanks for the suggestions, I’d suggested Oscar/ozzy but Ben wasn’t a fan… He said all he could think about was ozzy Osborne π
This is a hard one! I have a Max, a Jethro, and a Gunner! Good Luck!
Thank you for the suggestions π
I think he’s a Spencer!
I love that name but it’s my bosses name… Think he might find it a bit weird when he asks what the new pup is called!
That’s too bad! How about another TV inspired name like Linus or Hurley?
I had a friend with a similar dog called Charlie which was really cute!
Charlie is on the shortlist currently βΊοΈ
Oh. My. God! I want that PUPPY!
Hmm since you have a Dexter… how about a character from that show? Like… Harry, or Vince or Joey… those all sound different from Dexter so when you’re hollering for one of them, they can tell the difference π
What show are we talking about? Is that dexters laboratory? We named him after the serial killer tv show haha – of which other male names are weak like Brian and Angel!
I’ve just realised those are from serial killer one haha, been such a long time since we watched that show I can barely remember what happened! I love Harry but our friends have that bagsied as a baby name!
Hey, I think Alf will be perfect for him or Lucky. Like my puppy who also was the smallest and fell asleep in my dad’s lap. π
I’d had Alfie in my head yesterday, used to have a cat called Lucky so that one’s already been used!
How about Lenny?
He is adorable! How about Max, Ben or Ollie x
If you don’t call it albus dumbledog il be really disappointed.
Ben has now ruled out Albus Dumbledog π
