Naming Our Dog

Me and Mark first thought about choosing a Belgian name for our dog as a reminder of his roots but then our breeder contacted us yesterday telling us that this year, the dog’s name should start with the letter “E”. It seems that every year he names his pups starting with a certain letter to keep track of his litters or something. However being limited to the letter “E” now made our job even harder since not a lot of cool names start with “E”. Mark has EZEKIEL in mind so far which is not a bad name except that i find it a bit heavy to pronounce or call out. It would be great If any of you guys have any good suggestions on what we could name our dog. The name doesn’t have to be Belgian anymore any cool suggestion would do.

Update: we talked again to our breeder yesterday asking him if it was possible not to have the name start with “E” so he told us that we could actually name our dog whatever we want like lets say devil then just add the letter e in front of it for registration purposes. So devil becomes edevil and we could just call the dog devil which would give us a lot more choices. We still have to come up with a good name though.

  1. there’s plenty of names that start with E..like Eddie, or EJohn..EBob, ESnoop, Eminem..lol ofcourse, you’re going to have to be creative with all the silent e’s

  2. jagu says:

  5. Susan says:

  6. Mark says:

    my two favorite names were Ezekiel (my favorite brand of clothing) and Enzo. Problem with Enzo is that Ferrari are using it and people will think I called the dog after the car.

  7. jagu says:

    hmm…nice thing to wreck the brain on..Ebay..Edog..Elton..Elvis.. Enigma..OK I am done :D

    Dogbert ..after Dilbert’s poo but then again it does not start with E!!

  10. Mark says:

  14. Mark says:

    hmm Ellis sounds interesting…
    is elmo the guy from sesame street?

  15. Nat says:

    So far i’m thinking maybe EGGO. This is really hard and confusing!!

  16. fadibou says:

  17. unknown2 says:

    look; if ezekiel is too heavy, then play with it! eekil or eezlik!
    Ellis still rocks!
    aha got it! Efez lol so much for work

  20. Nat says:

    Thanks for your efforts arablondoner, lol. i’ve been obcessing about this since yesterday night, it’s all i can think of. I’ve been through god knows how many websites and dictionaries. Drives you nuts eventually!:)

  21. Eisenhower…Eureka (a bit lame, I know)…Edgard (Finnish), Ezra, Escobar, Escher, E.Coli?

  22. Tata Botata says:

    There’s this webdesigner who named her dog Jpeg. Seriously!

  23. McArabian says:

    Encore.

    I had a dog from a European breeder who was on the ‘E’ kick as well – they called her Ekoss. I have no idea what that name means but I liked it.

  24. Mark says:

    then maybe i should name the dog eps :D

  25. Patrick says:

    Eraser
    Ein
    East
    Echo (after Echo the Dolphin)
    Epsi

  26. Mark says:

    I guess this “every new litter a different letter” thing is common with breeders in Europe.

    Ekoss to me sounds like “eh koss” which means “yeah cunt” in Lebanese lol

  27. Mark says:

    Ok how about Enema or Enemy?

    “Enemy come here! Sit enemy sit”

    I think enemy is cool.

  28. arablondoner says:

    guys i have it!!!
    e-dog:):):)

  29. arablondoner says:

    emutt
    egnasher
    emongrel
    ewolf (sounds like a helicopter!)
    epup
    eHOUND looool

  30. Nat says:

    lol arablondoner it seems you are obcessed about this more than i am..poor guy what have we done…

  31. rania says:

    Yes, Elmo is the little red dude from Sesame Street…too cute!

  32. rania says:

    Evo sounds too much like TiVo
    no?

  33. Ernst ’cause most Arabs can’t spell it! ;)
    Eor
    Eeek
    Epsilon
    Elmo
    El Mariachi
    El Kalb

    time for another drink, and if I think of more I’ll put them up.. our two are called Gnasher and Phoebe and both were not my choice, so I just call them stoopid and stoopider and it seems to work, they do like the “s” in a dog’s name so that it grabs their attention!

    Good luck and congrats. I hope you have many years of fun together.

    The diminutive of Ezekiel is “Zeke” (pronounced Zeek) which is not hard to pronounce. Your dog can be given an official name starting with “E” for the registration papers, but you can call him/her anything you wish. My dog is officially registered as “Sarah’s Humphrey of Mellowdown” but we call her “Shadow” ’cause she is black.

  35. Lara says:

    How about Esie (pronounced eh-zee)? Can be short for Ezekiel which is a great name.
    Name Ezekiel
    Gender male
    Origin Hebrew
    Meaning strength of God

    Nat and Mark … try the following link: http://www.dog-names.org.uk/dog-puppies-names-dictionary-e.htm
    Hope it helps …

  37. nitro says:

    El Zorro??? You could then call him Zorro?!!

  38. Fatema says:

    ESKANDAR used to call failaka island EKAROS, both names are cool arn`t they? and if it was a female Eva would be nice :)

  39. [...] Due to his failure in fulfilling his hamster duties, me and Mark just decided to steal our lazy hamster’s name (Zero) and call him Minus instead. On the other hand we will be calling our new dog our hamsters “old” name, Zero. Due to the fact the dog breeder can only register the dog if its name starts with E, our dogs documents will say eZero not Zero. Thank you to everyone who helped in naming our puppy. [...]
