a couple I've heard of are Far Call, Pistol Dawn (instead of Knight). Another, not a racing name, but I have a hat badge which says the Piston Broke club.

Years ago when I was just a kid we used to have 'world championship wresting' on the TV. The referees name was Michael Hunt. His name was often shortened to Mike until someone twigged. :b True!!!

Pistol Knight and Piston Broke were two I've had in my book for a while. I think Norfolk Enchants and Fog in Hell are very clever!

Oh, poor man. You really have to think hard before you name you kids.

There`s a kid in my young lads class at school called Rose Lambe (Roast Lamb ! )

Hattie's ears were burning - and now I found out why!

Well as I am keeping one of Lisa's pups I shall putting my over-taxed greymatter to the test again soon. There's a tradition to keep up you know

Ok - I confess to having already been thinking about names but so far inspiration has avoided me like the plague! :blink:

You'll have to think of a pet name first Ian before you can come up with one of your clever racing names. Let us know what it is when you have decided which one you're keeping.

how about the little welsh bitch called nowinaminute.

One of our whippet peps Molly Head (Demerlay) has a husband called Richard !! Honest , he`s a nice guy too!! :wacko:

Well I have yet to choose a racing name for the puppy that is currently known as Frankie - but I came up with one for the fawn dog.

Unfortunately its a KC name only, as the new owners will give Sam his racing name (undoubtedly Half a something!)

And no - I'm not going to reveal it yet - in case it gets turned down

 

[tlewis]

Two I have saved are, (Welsh) Blod Y El (Call name Elle) and Fur Nack Ed (call name Ed.)

Thought of one: Arthur Pain

Just heard of another. I don't think it's all that clever but I am amazed it ever got accepted. Another whippet person (Rowenbrae) told me he heard on the racing channel, they were reading out the scratchings & (I'm guessing the spelling here) Far Queue was scratched. Now how would you call that without getting yourself into trouble :b :lol:

One of my greys who was sent away as a brood bitch was Bitter 'n' Twisted, but she was nowt like it :thumbsup:

Would anyone like to list any other clever names that are around at present ( or from the past).I had sort of decided on names for my current litter but I am always open to suggestions and ideas if people are willing to pass them on!

I've attached the list of 'Names suitable for a Whippet' from the Whippet and Race Dog - the book is from 1895 so you may find some of the names a little odd : :teehee:

Just tried to get this link, but it seems the file has disappeared. Do you still have it Nigel?

Thanks
