    For my puppies!

    Have to get them registered, I like to give each litter a topic, so I thought this one could be flower names, but what a difficult job -

    Rules
    1. only 14 letters
    2. best if begins with "M" but not essential
    3. Helps if it sounds sensible (pansy for a dog sounds a bit XXX)

    it will be post fixed by word "millersway"

    so this is what I thought of for my little orange bitch, she is a sweetie, so ....

    Millersway Marsh Malow (well I said she was a sweetie, also had to take "l" out of mallow for 14 letters)

    I need 18 names as have to give alternatives, its just doing my head in!

    Morning, Waco. Which one of us can't count? I assume the Millersway (10 letters) isn't being counted in the 14-letter word required? If I am correct, Marsh Mallow has only 11 letters (with the extra l and not counting the space). :confused:

    How about a Musk Mallow to match, a Monarda, a Mirabilis and a Myosotis.

    MARLEE ... an Elder Tree - aboriginal origins

    MATSU .... a Pine tree - Japanese origins

    MYRON .... from myrrh, - Greek origins


    All go well with your kennel name MILLERSWAY and are short enough for a dog to respond...

    OH I LOVE YOU ALL!

    my mind was going blank and all I could think of was muscari - horrid!

    5 girls 4 boys

    I already had marigold and margarita and Max Jaffa (well I am near to Scarborough and Jaffa is orange)

    Have to have Ginko for boy
    dandy - great show name
    LoL - I can't count, 24 letters including affix (Millersway) ou that leaves 14 ouups!

    Mona Lisa - all of them are different and I am sure will be accepted GREAT!

    Hornbeam - I can't call a puppy "Madder" no one will give it a home, they are mad enough - ;) Love the other names though and go well with "Marsh Mallow"

    Liz you are right nice boys and girls names, will let you all know what KC accept - very strqange lot.
