But another serious suggestion is Blondie. Then if you ever added a male lab to the family he could be Dagwood!

Every time Shep asks for a pet, I point to Ingram. However, I have given some thought to, if I had a dog, what would I name it. And I have decided that I would go with family names that are cool, but that I would never name a human. So, if we ever got a dog, his name would be my maternal grandma's maiden name: Twomey. As in, Come to-me, Twomey. So my advice is, look in the old family tree for inspiration. Ok, I never, ever, ever plan to have a dog. Every time Shep asks for a pet, I point to Ingram.

Thank you! Mom, I appreciate the additional, and gracious support on Lucy. (Jay is moaning that you always take my side - haha! - which isn't true!!) Kimberly, we are on the same wave length: Chloe, Beatrice and Clementine are all names I suggested to my family members. Jennifer, of course you probably know Andrew already has a dog named Calvin whom we consider a canine cousin, so we won't be using that one. But I think we also already have a human cousin by that name! Calvin, Nevin, Evangeline, Charis - you guys have great suggestions too! Lucy, Rosie, Bella and Flower are all beautiful names that your Aunt Tricia likes very much. And Simone is very French-sounding, which is nice too. Such great suggestions, Everyone!! Thank you!

All I can say is, if there is no objection to Lucy by our respectable Horne parentals, then dear Jay, what is the problem?? Hmmmmm?? :-) Mom, I could be wrong, but my guess is that Dad was using his dry wit, as was Sandra when she recommended we use my OTHER brother’s dog name.

I think John has forgotten that Baily is in the same class as Daisy - already taken by a dog belonging to a Brunone sibling (unless I'm really confused). But I'm with John regarding Lucy, and I never heard my MIL referred to by a nickname of any sort. Or maybe Calvina or Calvinia - Callie for short?
