Thankyou all for your suggestions but I'm afraid my daughter won and we named him SKIP The history on the dog is that we bought him Sunday evening and when I went to get him from the bloke who was selling him he had him locked in a dark dingy barn that was wet and musty - when I went to pick up the dog (Skip) he started to cower in the corner of a hay bale and he is only just starting to play - he didn't know how - The vet said to socialise him so he goes to my best friends and plays with her doggies whilst I'm at work - so that the only time he is on his own is at bedtime - even then I have to put the radio on to keep him company as on Tuesday & Wednesday night he just barked and barked - I ended up getting up with him at 5.30am and i was totally shattered - so last night (Thursday) i left the radio on and got up to the least mess a puppy could make ( 2 puddles - on paper of course) and a very contented tired puppy and that was at 7.30am this morning. What beats me is how people can be so cruel to defenceless animals!!! or humans if it comes to that!! Love to all Tracy xx

We has a collie years ago and he was called Tiza. Have a staffordshire bull terrier now and he is called Logan. Other names: Benjy, Angus Morgan Good luck with whaterver you decied to call him. Maggie

We have a black collie cross called Raucous,the kids named him.Most people think it's a great name,haven't met any other dogs called Raucous.He isn't noisy at all,has a brilliant nature. It's really hard naming animals isn't it?

Hi Tracey, as he's black and white why not call him Liquorice (spelling??) Just finished a packet of Bertie Bassett's All Sorts and the black and white ones just reminded me of your description of your new puppy!! Also, Darling would be a nice name, as of course we all call our dogs Darling - mind you, you could get a variety of dogs returning to you if you shouted "Darling come here" in the park!!! Perhaps not all the four-legged variety! Have fun with Puppykins, sounds like a nice dog. Jacqui

Minstrel - as in black and white. Maz. XX

My uncle once had a collie and he was called Biffo or Biff for short, he was a lovely natured dog. Good luck with choosing a name. Julie

Meridoc or Merry for short! JA

hi tracy, i had a cross border collie called lassie, she was brown with a white patch on her chest, she was lovely,she died from a heart attack nearly 3 yrs ago, i still miss her so much, she was my best friend,i was heartbroken when she died,she was 15,i had her from 9weeks old. she knew every word i said and was so faithfull. good luck with your new puppy. chris.

My mums dog was called Bracken or when I was at school,my reading book in primary school had a dog called socks,if your little pup has white socks maybe it would suit him!

Hi Tracy naming pets is worse than naming children lol! We have a cross collie black and tan. He looks like a girlie bless him and the children named him BEN. Up until we had him ( now getting on for 7 years ) I'd only had cats, but I'd not be without him now!! Here is my list of names: Beazley Sambo Sable Frodo Zig Have fun Much happiness Debi

I have to agree with Jan from York TYKE. My own dog lived to be 19, he was a Jack Russel cross called Sam and is irreplaceable. Best wishes Dave

hi tracy remy brandy storm zac tora stone what ever you decide, i hope your dog is as loyal and loving as mine sandra

Hi Tracy, How about something like Patch! or you could have Lady or if a boy then Laddie is nice I have a collie/retreiver who is golden and she is called Cher and really suits it good luck June

I have 3 Shetland Sheep dogs that have liquor themed names: Killean (Red) Kalhua Bailey (Irish Creme) & Two Pit Bulls: Hog (cause he hogs everything) & Jiggy (for where he was born)

I have a beautiful BC called"Pandora" good luck with your pup. My pet nanny's animals are all named after wines and spirits Asti,Gallo,Merlot,Chenin ect., How about Flynn.

Before you chose! Image yourself over the park calling your dog! What alovely choice of dog, loyal, clever, goodharted it reminds me of my dog Bobby! (brings a tear) He used to do tricks and even take himself for a walk (this was aboy 15 years ago), poop on the curb outside the house then mum used to collect it for disposal!

Guinness - as he's black and white? We rescued a cat called Guinness 6 weeks ago but as it's such a male name we've renamed her to clicquot, cliq for short..... ;o)

I like Fievel.... but then again, I am a bit strange with names. Chloe

I once had a border collie that sounds just like yours. We named her Bonnie.
