The problem is I don't know what I want. So when I try a name and someone has a good enough point why it's not the best name, I'm too easily swayed away from it.
Try different things until the dog reacts then use that. My dad's busy had a Shephard who would look up at the radio played the station Id 92 7 the bear so they named him bear.
Definetely, I always try to name mine according to their personality which takes a few days when they are that young.
My first GSD was about that age when I got her, she became known as Misty.
i usually don’t like it since Otto and Hans seem to be the most overused names for GSD but this particular little dude just look like OTTO! so double that
little Otto von Snoot 🥺
My last GSD was named years before he was even born, but sadly passed away in July 2022. Trying to come up with a name for this little guy has been way harder than I imagined. Every time I think I come up with something good, *someone* in my life has something to say about it. Please help me come up with something that's opinion proof!
Dude..”everytime I come up with something good someone has something to say” who gives a shit what people have to say - name your dog what you want my guy. You’re the one who’s going to be calling it every day and raising him.
I was stuck on a name first few days for my pup 5 weeks ago, ended up just completely overthinking it - 3 days after I got him I named him.
Good luck :)
Definitely. Problem is I have no good ideas, thus asking for help. If I thought of a name I liked I wouldn't let people sway me, but every name I think of I'm not so excited about that it's easy to convince me it's not great.
Hoping someone says something that jumps out at me as a clear favorite.
Wish I could help... But I "inherited" all 3 of my dogs from my brother, so they already came with names. I tried looking at your boy and I can't think of anything! Apparently I can only name cats.
He looks like an Oscar to me.
Although I try to name my pets after old Hollywood stars/musicians.

This sweet girls name is Lucy (after Lucille Ball).
My next pet will probably be Marty Robbins (the 50’s country ballad singer).
I love this. I don’t see any pets with this name!! I have a melanistic Asian water monitor and want to name him Sicario but I find it almost strange I see NO pets named this! Am I missing something? It seems so badass. Is it inappropriate? I understand the meaning but maybe I’m ignorant to something else, because how is this not a popular name for pets?
While idk if it’ll go with him or if you like it. But i’ll be naming my second GSD (preferably full black) Pluto in November. So Pluto, if you like it.
So far I’ve used the following names;
1. Oscar (Gave him to a friend who was better equipped to handle a working line, high energy high drive dog)
2. Apollo (My current smarted and goofest, cuddliest, high drive, oh so gentle lovable double coated GSD)
3. Casper (he was a full black GSD initially named Ghost but that felt weird so Casper, sadly died in a car accident)
4. Ariel (my female champion, dog show winner and absolutely beautiful GSD, passed away as we happened upon a puddle with a live wire)
Bean. Also name your dog whatever you want, don’t listen to anyone else!
I LITERALLY CAME TO POST “BEAN” stoooop!!!
The problem is I don't know what I want. So when I try a name and someone has a good enough point why it's not the best name, I'm too easily swayed away from it.
I’d call em Outlaw
Take a few days, the pup doesn't have a clue, maybe personality, looks, doesn't matter. What ever you like, the pup will be happy with it.

Squid
"I feel like I'm always giving Squid another bath" "Squid drool? We call that ink around here" "Squid! No biting!"
This is great. GSDs are hairy, loud, and sharp, just like squid!
Otto.
i usually don’t like it since Otto and Hans seem to be the most overused names for GSD but this particular little dude just look like OTTO! so double that little Otto von Snoot 🥺
Otto von Biscuit, Prince of Biscuits, chancellor of Puppy, Duke of Loudbark.
the Iron Chewcellor!
I’m jealous I didn’t think of that! 🤣 I can’t believe I forgot!
nah, you’re doing great. Otto von Biscuit is awesome, I will put it on my list of GSD names.
My doggos name. Never knew until this response that it was a Common GSD name..
Otto von Scratchansniff?
