Baller BlueSki Posted August 16, 2018 Baller Share Posted August 16, 2018 The Ballers might be able to settle a bet between two brothers, my kids. In trying to come up with names for a male dog, the ski-related name of Stack was tabled among others. We have a good list of names, so I don't really need suggestions but feel free to throw some out, I really just need final word on their bet of whether or not Stack is good name for a dog so the kids can move on and fight about other things. Only skiers can answer that question. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller Andre Posted August 16, 2018 Baller Share Posted August 16, 2018 I m surr they can find better ski related name for the dog. What breed ? My ski finish in 16.95 but my ass is out of tolerance! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller_ MISkier Posted August 16, 2018 Baller_ Share Posted August 16, 2018 I think I heard somewhere that the animal’s name should be two syllables, since commands are typically one syllable. The worst slalom equipment I own is between my ears. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller BraceMaker Posted August 16, 2018 Baller Share Posted August 16, 2018 Stack is a good name, has two hard sounds in it st ck should get the dogs attention just fine. I'm not sure its important that people understand the name. But then again until you see a dog who knows what they should be named. Meet the beast and you might want to call it butthole.

Baller igkya Posted August 16, 2018 Baller Share Posted August 16, 2018 Who cares if others understand, its your (kids) dawg! But agree with MISKier on the 2 syllables for a name. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller PatM Posted August 16, 2018 Baller Share Posted August 16, 2018 Don't worry about if other understand. My dogs are Buoy and Mapple. Mapple is a hard one for people, first they want to call him Maple, second is what does that mean. They are interest when they find out where the name came from.

klindy Posted August 16, 2018 Share Posted August 16, 2018 I like the two-syllable rule too. I also find dogs whose name ends in "y" helps too - Sammy, Mikey, Rocky, etc. To get back to waterski related names how about - Reride Radar or my favorite - Smear Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller BlueSki Posted August 16, 2018 Author Baller Share Posted August 16, 2018 @DavidP, Horton in and of itself would be a good name for a dog, but I met Horton at Nationals and he is not necessarily a golden retriever, perhaps a different breed. I will let someone else that knows him better start the “What Breed is Horton” thread that will end with “I will ban all of you!” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller sunvalleylaw Posted August 19, 2018 Baller Share Posted August 19, 2018 I like it. If you do, I say go for it. And if you really find you need two syllables, you can always add a y. As in Stack-y, or get Stack-y, which could be a new suggestion from the boat, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller BlueSki Posted August 22, 2018 Author Baller Share Posted August 22, 2018 @"Keith Menard" Bernese are very cool dogs. Because they like to lean (primarily against you and not light on the line) you might be able to come up with a name off of that trait. Lean, Reach, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
