Smart lady!

the much better 1/2-and-another-1/2 of this relationship...

Current situation -- One child likes Ren and Ru; other child likes Roger (don't judge...he's got lots of wonderful qualities that make up for his terrible taste in names. With apologies to any Rogers).

We are at a bit of a standstill. I think Ren or Ru will wind up winning out.

Sounds like rock, paper, scissors time to me.

One of the fine qualities of the kid with terrible taste in names is that he's usually pretty willing to take one for the team, especially with respect to his little brother, so...we're gonna try to see if a little time will let that resolve the situation

Well then, the only sensible outcome has to be Ruger.

Design by committee; Just can't be beat

There's still room for a Richard. Or Rutger. And Ruthless Rudi.

 

[TSJMajesty]

Has no one offered RUSH?

 

[Rocco Crocco]

What is the dog's current name?

 

[Boudoir Guitar]

What is the dog's current name?

6 weeks old and nameless.

 

[Sascha Franck]

6 weeks old and nameless.

That's a cool name, too. Bit long maybe.

 

[Badonkey Kong]

Rufus?

Had a German Shepherd I rescued and renamed Roofus. He was awesome. Roo for short.

 

[zib]

Rocket
Ricochet

 

[TSJMajesty]

That's a cool name, too. Bit long maybe.

And not a single R in any of those words either!

Why'd the dog have bloody paws? Sidewalk ruff!

Huge thanks to everyone that contributed to this thread. It really got our gears turning.

After a lot of disagreement, we found a name that rang loud and clear with all of us: Raleigh. It's a city I lived in for a long time and still have a lot of love for, and gives a shout out to the NC side of our family while living way up here in almost-Canada.

Cool. Not bad at all. I like that it has a personal meaning too.

When living in Raleigh, the husband of a friend of mine who was a slow-speaking debonair Alabaman with a slow-rolling Alabama accent made the most amazing joke I've ever heard, and I'm secretly hoping to be able to reproduce it with the pup:

While sitting at an outdoor table at a bar enjoying some.happy hour beers, a guy at the next table gave us a "where y'all from?!?" to which debonair Alabaman spoke for us all - "Raleigh". Gentlemen responded "really?". And in what can only be described as the most James Bond like real life incident I've ever witnessed, ol' Debonair slowly turned to him with critically cocked head and furrowed brow, and slow-rolled "No. Raleigh".

I lived in the Raleigh area (Cary, NC) in the '90s. It's a good fit for a dog

Of course you lived in the contamination area...

Those damn Yankees @#$%^&*

Thank God for them - what makes that whole triangle area so much more liveable than the rest of the state.
