We are getting a puppy soon and talking about names. My husband (ex-Mormon) and I thought it would be funny to choose a name that would poke fun of Mormonism a little. We wouldn't do anything outright rude, but maybe something that would make our Mormon family wonder if we did it on purpose.

Any ideas? It's a male Australian Shepherd.

You could call him Kolob.

Or maybe Bednar.

Monson!

Joe Smith if he is a horny dog. Or Brigham.

Too bad he's not a pit bull or a doberman. Bednar would be perfect.

Find out when one of your ultra-TBM family members went through the temple for the first time, and then name your dog after their new temple name.

Tate. It's short for apostate.

LOL, that's a great one!

Moroni

Rex.

Our exmo dog. R exmo dog. Rexmo. Rex.

How about Zelph?

How about Elder? (Elder Dog)

How about Packer?

How about Alger (as in Fanny's dog)


I do like Monson though. :-D

Get two dogs.

Urim and Thumin

Or Lamen and Lemuel.

Mahan. Its the name of Cain in Moses 5

Then you would be master of Mahon.

Thomas S.

Temple

Prophet

Mormony

Flaming Sword

Elder

New Name

Adam-Ondi

Pay Lay

Stake Prez

If he keeps wandering off, getting lost you could name him Hagoth.

I don't think you should do that to a dog. You're going to love him.

Then call him Revel as a call name. You could have a revelation every day :)

FYI I don't know your dog background but that is a VERY active working breed. He will need a lot of mental stimulation as well as physical exercise. And no matter what he tells you, don't let him go crazy activity wise while those little bones and joints are developing.

This is one of my favorite toys. Unlike most others it comes apart and can go in the dishwasher. I used their regular kibble in it.

Porter....or Rocky

We named our rooster Brigham; he had nearly 50 hens to....peck.

I like Levi's suggestion: Rexmo.

Sariah

The Son meaning the son of dog.

Thanks, these are great! I love Tate and Revel and a bunch of them. My DH likes Bishop and is trying to remember the name of the Bishop who ex-communicated him. :)

Don't worry Susan, we know they're really active, which is party why we chose this breed. We're hoping to do agility when he's old enough. I think I'm going to order that toy. Thanks!

Mahonri Moriancumr and call him Morey for short.

Your pup is my second favorite breed. My boyhood chum Skip was an Aussie.

When my cousin quit the church, she got a dog to celebrate being alone at last. All the pesky Mormons shunned her, and the dog is now her best friend. She named him "Mo."

I think your new best friend should not be demeaned. I also think a bishop or GA or any Mormons should be honored and remembered. I can't imagine a worse Hell than being reminded of something I hate, every time I call my dog.

Don't do it!

I like "Co-polot (as "dog is my co-pilot), but a dogfood commercial stole that name. How about "Pal", "Fido", "Prince", something to pay tribute to the loyalty and friendship of your dog.

Monstrom Volantes Spaghetti - flying spaghetti monster. Most dogs defy gravity in their quest for tasty food.

"Spirit"
It's a nice sounding name, and if the dog ever barks in the middle of the night you could laugh because you heard 'the spirit'. Or 'the spirit' prompted me to feed the Dog today. I'm afraid the spirit wouldn't have a still small voice anymore though hahaha.:D

Thanks all you blokes. I have had a HORRIBLE day and I needed a laugh and all these names had me chuckling!

Good luck with you puppy txnevermo, I am sure like all Aussies he will be adorable!! (Spoken like the true-blue Aussie I am Heh heh!!)
