      It's a girl and I like Samantha but I also like that for a child and I think some kids might not take to being named after man's best friend. Of course I could be thinking too hard about this.
      
      I am going to keep it on my short list though, thanks Arcticulates.

   I think something undeniably feminine would be fantastic.
   
   Maybe Penelope...
   
   Or you could go for the 'down home' feel of a name like
   
   Sasparilla
   
   Or, maybe you could do what my friends do with their pets... Name it after a world leader it resembles...
   
   Gordon Brown?
   
   Or if you want to be more menacing (and don't have a spelling problem...) "This is my bulldog, Ahmadinejad."
   
   Have fun with it.

      Yeah they are pretty pricey dogs based on how much it costs the breeders for the brithing process etc. But my mom has been going on and on about it for more than a yr and I know she would never do it for herself so my siblings and I are being good kids for once.
      
      Anyway, Marge....like Marge Simpson...that's pretty good.

   It's a French bulldog, right?
   
   Why not a French name? Marielle, Chantal, Lulu, Simone, Anouk, Colette, Dominique, Francoise, Josette, Monique, Sabine, Sophie, Sylvie, Veronique.
   
   Personally, I favour Josette.

      I like the French thing but no it's an English Bulldog. She is just a little over 1wk now. I anticipate her looking like this when I give her to my mom on Christmas day.

      So as an English Bulldog, maybe something amusingly proper and British.
      
      Right now I'm only getting Hyacinth, like the character Hyacinth Bucket. But you get the drift.

      Adelaide is good. Or something really old-fashioned and stuffy, like Prudence or Hortensia.

      11/14/08

      SweetViolet

      Oh, if she's English, then she needs a proper English name...like Victoria...very dignified. Or Queenie. Or Regina (means queen). Beatrix (Beatrix Potter). Or Hermione. Eliza (after Eliza Dolittle in My Fair Lady). Honoria.
      
      The family across the road from me has an English bulldog named Alexander. They call him "Zander" for short. He is so darned cute! Alexandra, Alexandria: Alex, Lexie, Sandy, Andria, Dria.
      
      Maybe find some historical British names from Jane Austen's books? Emma is nice.

    I would suggest something very simple, very basic, and or nickname- ish- because as you said, it will be your moms dog and what ever name you choose just might end up as her middle name.
    
    It's so sweet of you all to get her the dog, but that's just one of the best parts of getting one... naming it yourself.
