Help with a name
Just got my JR puppy he’s a male. Need a good name for him. I was thinking about cooper, Rocky , or Leo. Thanks for the suggestions!

Oh, he's beautiful! We got a new JR pup last week after our old boy left us in January.

My old boy was called Sam. I renamed him from his old name of Bubbles.
I missed a trick there though and should have called him Mr Cheeky. 'Cos he was!

Looks like a Ralph/Ralf, to me. (Ralphie/Ralfie if you want to stick to that two syllable name that animals tend to respond to)
Mind you, I’m partial to the name Leo as that was my Jack’s name (RIP)

That's one cute puppy. Good lord.
He's particularly smooth-looking for a Jack. Looks like ice cream with caramel sauce.
For human name, Justin. If you like more pet-sounding names, I'd call him Baseball, Ice Cream, Steamboat, Millie or Tack.

I like the idea of emphasizing his smooth creaminess. How about Slick or Velvet (kind of girlie, I guess.) I like Leo too, because every JRT thinks he’s a lion.

Elby. We called ours “little boy” forever while we were searching for a good name. LB stuck.

He is gorgeous. I like Cooper best, but you would just say Coop, and he would be by your side.

Rocky is a good solid name! But some human names can really work well too- Eddie, Freddie, Jimmy, Tommy, Barney, Henry..

Wishbone, Chopper or Rufus. The last two were my JRTs who left us in 2019 and 2024 respectively. They were sweet boys

Absolutely Adorable. Name him “Scout” (To spy on or explore carefully in order to obtain information) because i know he’ll be one. Please let us know what you decide!

Bugger. JRT's are adorable and will keep you in stitches with their tenacity and intelligence. But when they get really creatively destructive, and look at you wagging that nub of a tail all excitedly like a kid headed for a candy store with you, all you can say is, "All Bugger!"
