Several months previous to buying the puppy, we had begun a family game...or "naming" game that is. Names were put into a hat (unfortunately they cannot be all remembered) and drawn but never were they selected as the one.
After debate after debate, we chose the name, "Lucy". The name seemed well suited to a German Shepherd Dog and easy to say. Runner-ups included "Regina" and "Esmeralda" but they lost out to the simpler name.
We were informed that the breeder's grandson had named the pup we chose (his favorite) "Lisa." Well, "Lucy" isn't a far cry from "Lisa", he should've been satisfied. On second thought, "Lisa Lucille" wouldn't have been bad. Oh well, too late now.
Lucy's nicknames are far and varied but include, "Lucey Goosey", "Honey" and "Honey Cheeks", and "Pookey". Less frequently used are, "Penny", "Esmeralda", and "Peggy."
Rumor has it that her full name is Lucille Esmeralda McGillicuddy Ricardo, but that hasn't been confirmed or denied ;).
