Getting a male Vizsla puppy on New Years Eve. Need help with naming it! So far we're leaning toward Koda, Scout and Taz. No particular order. Your suggestions appreciated. One or two syllables are best. Here he is today at just over 6 weeks old.

That's weird, Lloyd. I was going to suggest a Hungarian name and that was the first one I had down:

OSZKÁR: Hungarian form of Old Norse Ásgeirr, meaning "god-spear."

Perhaps Tito.

The name of the first ever Viszla pup here in the U.S. (Oct 7, 1950).

Although I like your pick of the name Koda.

One of the most frequent commands you'll use with any dog is "Come"

and with a name like Koda he'd be highly responsive to any word that begins with a "k" sound.

I like Scout.

Zoltan.

^^^ This. I love that name.

Skeletor

Zoltan.

Nah, Zardoz, surely?

Hrothgar.

Edit: Oh, since it's a Hungarian breed, perhaps you don't want an Old English name. Here's a good list of Hungarian names, with meanings: http://www.behindthename.com/php/browse.php?type_gender=1&operator_gender=&value_gender[]=masculine&type_usage=1&operator_usage=&value_usage[]=hungarian

Scout or Skeletor

Scout or Zoltan

How about Pirovitch?

Nah, Zardoz, surely?

that was my vote

Perhaps Tito.

The name of the first ever Viszla pup here in the U.S. (Oct 7, 1950).

Although I like your pick of the name Koda.

One of the most frequent commands you'll use with any dog is "Come"

and with a name like Koda he'd be highly responsive to any word that begins with a "k" sound.

In that case I like Colon

I like Koda.

Primo and Crom are 2 others I have considered in the past.

I kinda liked Zoltan, but then I found this:

holy crap

That would definitely make my vote Zoltan! I wonder if that movie was in Kim Jong Il's archive.....

Great suggestions. Thought this introduction to the Vizsla might help.

My 6 year old son votes for Skeletor. I still like Scout or Zoltan, Hound of Dracula.

The final name will be used in the field while bird hunting with the pup/dog. Needs to be no more than 2 syllables. I like Skeletor but doesn't meet my requirements for field use.

Past dogs have been named (Irish Setter) Whisky, (English Setter) Patch, (Gordon Setter) Maizie and (Gordon Setter) Quest. From the new suggestions so far I like Oscar/Oszkar/Ozkar and Zoltan/Zsolt, and still like both Koda and Scout. Taz (short for Tazmanian Devil) was inspired by the you tube video.

Fester sounds gorgeous

Or Festus?...

I thought of Uncle Fester

Yay, look at my avatar
