Help Me Name My New Dog!

My vote went to Iseabail... Or Izzy for short

Being an Aussie myself, Kenna is definitely a more suitable name for an Aussie dog; "Siobhan" is pretty, but a bit too delicate sounding for a good faithful Aussie dog.

I heard somewhere that dogs respond best to names with hard consonant-sounds, like T, P and K. So Kenna gets my vote.

Does anyone else see the humour is someone with the user name Cat asking for help naming a dog

As another MacKenzie (mother's side) I am also puzzled by this.

Having said that, I voted for simply Kenna (not MacKenzie). It is simple sounding, easy to say and easy for the dog to comprehend. The others are nice, but to complicated. Keep it simple

I agree with the rest keep the name simple. I voted as Kenna as well

Always liked Soona

Soona do it on the carpet rather than outside

Thanks everyone! I couldn't decide on Mackenzie and Kenna, so I sort of split the difference and named her "Kenzie." I like it a lot, and she's already responding to it! She learns VERY quickly (although there's still the whole cat-chasing thing that we've got to work on.)

Thanks for the suggestions, and I'll post some pictures of her soon!

I see you found a name already.
If I take a new dog I always look at her/him first , sometimes short otherwise it will take me some days to "see" the dog ,s name.

Well, thanks for playing anyway! I tend to do the same thing though, watching an animal for a while before I name it. I took the suggestions of fellow XMarker's, but still put my own spin on it. Plus, it fits her perfectly!
