Affix names-help me pick!

right... i am applying for my kennel club affix... but i am having a very hard time thinking of some!

i need my main choice, then 6 others to put down on the form....

so far my favourite is "ezmyr" which ironically is named after my two cats...

i also have daphelo and diablo....

any ideas guys

What dogs do you breed? Or is it for agility?

I guess you have to think of something that will always work after their names, I would keep practicing saying it after their names and go with the one that sounds fun.. Oh and imagine it being said over a tannoy And here comes .... with her dog....

How about

For the joy
Just for fun
Best dog ever
Once upon a time

Or one word ones

i like the one in bold the affix will go before the names of the dogs i breed... but i can add it onto the end of the two i already have if i want...

daphni is epiphany scooby doo's daphni
asbo is epiphany secret squirrel

i do know that the affix can be no longer than 12 letters long...

Can someone tell me why the name has to sound like a runescape username?

We tend to give our dogs reasonably normal first names, yet when it comes to KC reg no name can be the same and they become xzezimaxx791.

As far as I know I have the same last name as more than one person in the country, yet it cant be the same for dogs?

think humans are slightly different... a dog couldnt say "oh no im this one, not the one that hasnt been health tested for heart problems..." etc. if people google a name, which they could to look at health test results, or for the purpose of looking for a suitable stud dog, then one name is easier to look for.

also when looking through pedigrees you dont want two dogs of two different breeds with the same name, you wouldnt know if there were ever crosses happening etc.

Surely you just attach a location or description instead.

Bob from Dagenham or bob from ... kennels for example.
