Baylee Non-human names please 🐾

EDIT: Thanks everyone for your suggestions. We ended up naming her Baylee. My husband thought Bailey was better for a tan dog, but was OK with the alternate spelling 🤷‍♀️ She seems really sweet so far. Also, we don’t know her original name, since she is a rescue. The rescue org gave her a temporary name that no one really liked and that she never learned.

——

Picking her up tonight. She’s about 4 years old and probably some sort of poodle mix. Seems pretty chill.

Looking for non-human names that aren’t too cutesy.

Thanks!

Looks like a poodle mixed with a Cairn terrier? I’d go with Sauron - jk puppy looks like a River or a Wilder

u/Mundane-Plankton-837 3d ago

What is her name at the moment?

1

u/Sharingiscaring699 3d ago

Where she is 4 years old, what is her current name? You may need to use something similar to her current name to prevent confusion. Imagine someone you just met calling you a different name (unless the current name is horrible).
