Jackfish	11/10/2018 08:54AM   Paging Canoe42 to the white courtesy phone... :)
Ghost oh murphy lake jim	11/10/2018 09:33AM   My brother named his dog sema after a lake between knife and kekekabic.
anthonyp007	11/09/2018 10:48PM   Shithead. Oh wait, you asked for BW related...my bad. I just couldn’t resist a chance to reference The Jerk. I always thought “Slim” or “Trillium” would be cool dog names. Tony
jerryr	11/13/2018 08:56AM   We wanted a unique BWCA inspired name for our dog too. We named him Sigurd.
Goldenbadger	11/10/2018 12:46PM   I think bird names are great for dogs. Kestrel Merlin wren Also, Fin Luna Lotus Meadow
makebelievers	11/09/2018 07:57PM   Hi everyone, so I am getting a new baby golden retriever puppie next week. Was looking for some good dog names that have to do with the boundary waters. So far what we have come up with is: Ely, Sawbill, Ida and Juno. Any other ideas? Please and Thank you! PS...It is a female
tobywan	11/09/2018 08:38PM   Did the same thing for my two cats. Settled on Minnesota (Minnie) and Gabimichigami (Gabi). Should have seen the look on my vets face when he said can you spell that.
dbpmw	11/09/2018 08:55PM   Dorothy? Had a springer spaniel named that.
BWPaddler	11/11/2018 01:43PM   Couple I didn't see: Walleye, Fisher, Marmot, Laker, Trout, Tripper, Tannin, Tanner, Paddler, Loon or Loony, Lily or Lilypad, Morel, Skeeter, Portage, Fire or Fiery, Bow Girl, Wabakimi, Whiskey. (Color of water, bird, beverage) I really like Moose from above.
Twins87	11/09/2018 09:22PM   Any of the lakes in the Lady Chain... Polly, Phoebe, Hazel, Grace. Cherry
bct	11/14/2018 03:06PM   Li'l Sioux Moose Gunwale
cyclones30	11/09/2018 08:39PM   Polly........that's all I've got so far. Camped there a night this year
Canoe42	11/10/2018 10:44AM   We rescued 2 Siberian Huskys from a shelter. Their previous names were unknown. So they became Ely and Quetico. No one could ever pronounce Quetico correctly. Ely is on the left and Quetico the right. Anyone who was at the early Rockford camp outs has met them.
Atrain	11/13/2018 12:38PM   Thats easy... HUSTLER
ducks	11/10/2018 09:42AM   Our dog is named Echo after the Echo Trail. Our soon to be born son is going to have a bwca inspired 1st name. Good luck coming up with a name. There are a lot of bwca lakes with girl names.
Jaywalker	11/10/2018 10:06AM   I think Mudro would be a fine name for a dog. It could work for a duckling too.

Goldenbadger	11/10/2018 11:29AM   I swear I remember an old thread on this, but I can’t find it. I thought I may have even started the thread. My memory is terrible. Anyway, my dogs are always named after something in nature. Badger, Willow, Grizzly Bear, Bear for short. Mine are golden retrievers as well. I’ve always wanted a BWCA/canoeing inspired dog name. But I haven’t been able to settle on one. Get a big map showing all of the BECA and find a lake name you like. Maybe a favorite lake you’ve been to. Here are s few names on my list: Minnow -this will be my next female dog. Otter Widgeon Pike Lark Buck -but this sounds like something else when you yell it. Moose Rocky Ranger My actual list is much longer, but it’s at work. I’m curious to see what others have as ideas.
pswith5	11/14/2018 10:00PM   How about mosquitoes? People would think you'd lost your mind. "Here mosquitoes... Come on girl. Good mosquitoes! !"
chessie	11/12/2018 07:56AM   Our Chessie is "Cache" -- wanted a BW name, and to honor her predecessor who made countless BW trips over her lifetime, one included traversing Cache Bay of Sag.
ozarkpaddler	11/12/2018 06:03PM   My long lost boy's AKC name was "Zachary Gunflint Webb" since the Gunflint was our second home back in the '90's. I miss him so badly when I look through these pictures!
LindenTree3	11/10/2018 11:26AM   Had a dog named Aspen, I always liked that name.
nooneuno	11/11/2018 07:18PM   I don't know I could see someone standing around yelling echo, echo with no response, then someone else would give it a try and say there's no damn echo here.....
OCDave	11/11/2018 11:35AM   Bacon - because everyone LOVES Bacon Walleye - could also work with the same reasoning
Zwater	11/10/2018 12:01AM   If the dog is going to be a hunter, Gauge, Remi, Winni, or Steve:)
nctry	11/10/2018 12:11AM   Becky after Rebecca falls. Wind... almost renamed a dog that after several bouts of catching her wind a few times. Jasper Cypress (what I always knew ottertrack lake as). Makwa Guide Kevlar Money pit! Haha. Big Agnes Sawyer Wood Tick
andym	11/10/2018 05:07AM   Duckman: "My dog is named Wenonah. Not sure I would recommend it, doesn’t yell very well when your calling your dog!" And if you take your dog to the BW and have to call him, people will think you’re calling your canoe. And they really don’t come.
Frankie_Paull	11/11/2018 11:52AM   A cat named Lousia
Hueyav8r	11/12/2018 03:10PM   I adopted a Boarder Collie/ Lab mix. She was going to be my canoeing buddy. I named her Tilley. Yes after my hat. We don't canoe much. She likes being in the water not riding on the water.
MooseTrack	11/11/2018 09:50AM   I had a golden named Ruby after Ruby Lake
A1t2o	11/14/2018 01:55PM   Grace Beth Phoebe Cher (Cherokee) Chell (or Shell short for Winchell) Alice Lady Gabby My bother and parent's dog's names are Lena and Ada if that helps. My cousin has a dog named Nilla (yellow lab).
orh	11/11/2018 12:23PM   Bee Dub
nctry	11/11/2018 12:23PM   My dog says she’s happy with her name. Cause I told her I was going to rename her miss piggy! She’s like, “I’m good “.
mjmkjun	11/09/2018 09:45PM   "Lizzy" is a good one. "Isabella" is better one.
Spartan2	11/09/2018 09:43PM   Saganaga, Alice, Magnetic (Maggie), Vista, Ella, Kiana, Amber.
3Ball	11/11/2018 01:22PM   Our golden is named Aurora.

Duckman	11/09/2018 10:12PM   My dog is named Wenonah. Not sure I would recommend it. Doesn’t yell very well when you're calling your dog!
ellahallely	11/10/2018 12:08PM   Ella Hall was the best dog I ever had. Called her Ella mostly. JIM P.
makebelievers	11/10/2018 12:27PM   Thanks everyone for the recommendations. A few of them are definitely getting added to the list. Keep them coming if anyone has any more!!! Thanks again.
canoepaddle	11/10/2018 09:28PM   My second Lab was also Echo named after the Echo Trail. Love that name for a dog.

Congrats on the the son!
