Hmmm...

Ranger is rather masculine, but may not be close enough to skiing for you.

I suppose "Greg" could arguably fall into that same category. *smirk*

Errahhhh...what about favorite or famous trails?

Ski brands just aren't "lighting my board". Too long (Salomon) or not "sharp" enough to get the pet's attention (Volkl).

I'll let the synapses wake up I guess before I embarrass myself any further.

I was going to say snow, then you would be able to yell. Snow, come here snow! But being he's black, that just kind of don't fit. Love labs and if he looks anything like the pic, it's a great looking dog. Best of luck!

I like Diamond

Cutler (as in Cutler River, which flows through Tuckerman) is a little more subtle.

Hans - as in Hans Thorner, founder of Magic, or Hans Schenieder, if you prefer.

Jean-Claude, as in Jean-Claude Kily, if you're old enough

Bode, if you're not


Yan, if he falls on his face alot

Diamond!


ps We went through a dog naming struggle yesterday. We're adopting a mutt from a shelter that was brought up from Tennessee. I gravitate toward Grateful Dead references but my 11 yr old daughter fought that. Finally we decided to work on a Tennessee theme. Graceland lead to Gracie. Belle and Dixie were close.

Donna and Althea never had a chance.

Just a quick word of advice... whatever name you go with, two syllables is always the least awkward when you have to call them, and even better if the second syllable is "ie" or some variation thereof, because often a one syllable name often transforms into two syllables with the second being "ie" when you're calling the dog.

Oh....we watch a few episodes of "The Dog Whisperer" and we're an expert now. ;) Long live Caesar!

just don't adopt male goldens named goldie and then keep the name....very awkward when you try to use them as chick magnets while also maintaining the impression of heterosexuality.


yeah, i adopted a golden named goldie at 1 yr old (now 31 monthes old). I kept the name...big mistake.
