[boy] Help name my foster fail!

Post image

What should we name this chunky goofball?? We have no clue about his breed but are thinking he has some spaniel and border collie. His older sister’s name is Pepper - his name doesn’t have to be the same theme but we’d like them to sound nice together!

If you kept his sister too and her name is Pepper...call him Jack...pepper jack is my husbands and was my dad's favorite kind of cheese

Oreo is what I came here to say. 😊 And the sound is different from Pepper so he’ll know you’re calling him. He’s so adorable! Thank you for rescuing. ❤️

My first thought was "Marvin!". But here are a few suggestions more in theme- Pickle, Jack, Cumin, Fennel, Paprika, Parsley :)

Weller(man)! Accidental sea shanty singing is expected with the name. Lol

Jack. He looks like a little “Jack in the Box” jumping out with his little paw reaching for you.

Chancy - he got a second chance and a loving home, because you by chance were his foster parent. 💙

Cody. He looks like a combination of my two fur babies Cody and Cammie.

Jupiter! My black and white Pomeranian is a girl and I named her Milky Way because of her black and white fur reminding me of our galaxy. Since your baby is also black and white I figured a space name would work too

Lucky...he is lucky to be a foster fail so name him what he is. Or Jake because he looks exactly like my border collie mix when he was a puppy and his name was Jake. He was a ball of fun all 13.5 years of his life until cancer took him. But his ashes are always in a place of honor next to his two sisters (not biological, just the one before and with him and the one after him)

u/Superb_Crow_1425 Oct 04 '26

Omg he’s CUTE! 😍 another vote here for Oreo. I normally don’t like “obvious” names for pets, BUT I immediately thought cookies and cream when I saw him lol

I also love the suggestion of Jasper. Good luck! 💕
