A new member of the family needs a name

We picked up a dog form the shelter today.  Our last dog died in 1999, so it’s been a while for us.  He is a Westie.. a West Highland White Terrier.  He’s 5 years old and he needs a name.  Got any ideas?

He was originally a puppy mill dog.  He was used as a stud.  Then he went to a family with three kids and both he and the family were overwhelmed.  He ran away from home and was taken to the shelter where he’s been for about three weeks. 

A few of the names that have been suggested:  Hercules, Gus, Jack, Napoleon, Max, Stud Muffin among others.  I liked Bits or Bitsy but I’m being overruled.  What do you guys think?

  1. It’s a westie!! Scotland!! How about Bags, as in bagpipes or Connery after the famous Scotsman Sean Connery 007

  2. Tucker actually seems like a pretty cute name for that dog.
    1.Tucker
    2.Xzavier
    3.Leebkin
    4.Leibchen (pronounced anyway but i say it, “leepyun”)
    5.Kinney
    6.Butchy
    7.Griffin
    8.leeberkin
    So these are the best i can do, but i hope they’ve helped. Give your dog a name easily rememberable and callable.This dog will be with you many happy years of your life.
