Late Thursday afternoon, the Vancouver Canucks announced that they had partnered with BC Guide Dogs and will be sponsoring a litter of puppies, as well as raising a puppy of their own this upcoming season.
The Canucks are urging fans to submit name ideas for the club’s new canine, and fans will then get to vote on their favourite name at a later date.
In the meantime though, we’ve rounded up over 50 of the best names we’ve seen from Canucks fans on Twitter so far.
The ones named after players
Simple, yet clever is the theme with these two:
Bet you didn’t think you’d hear the name Loui in a while! Speaking of which…
Jay the Beagle
Lou. The fans love to cheer it
Luke Chien
Naming after the dog breed, clever.
Nails Döglander
If the puppy the Canucks get is somehow a Daschund, I’m fully on board with this Nails Döglander.
They need two, and name them Hank and Dank
If the twins didn’t currently work in management, I’d say this is a great idea.
Mr. Quinn
Bark Boeser is the best I’ve seen so far
Bark Boeser and Dog Jarvis are early contenders to be our favourites yet.
Let's call him Gino
And our favourite one yet in this section:
Orland Kurtenbark
It’s got history. It’s got pizzazz. It’s got what it takes to be the best name of any dog, maybe ever.
The “keepin’ it simple” submissions
Some people really didn’t want to overcomplicate this.
Nuck. Keep it simple.
Buster
Champ
Nuckles
The “those are certainly names!” section
We’re just going to give you these ones straight.
Puckelberry Finn! (puck Finn)
McPuppyFace , of course
Stanley Bark 👍
We should have bring your dog to game nights, own section called The Larshedders
Doggy McDogface
Arthur Ruffiths
Three. (You have to be pretty old to get that one.)
Axeblade ... Axe for short.
Reggiano
Grainne
Steve
Jimbo
Aegon
