Finally after reading and reviewing all the suggestions that I have received in another post, I have decided to name my new dog a shetland sheepdog, whose picture is atached with this post. We have chosen Saffy. It is a short name. My wife has come up with it. Our friends in UK have nicknamed their daughter Saffy. It seems that there was an Eastender character on English TV.

Hi ronaldinu I think Saffy is a lovely name though I don't remember a character in Eastenders with the same name, not yet anyway, maybe way back there was!! I look forward to seeing some more pictures of her when you have her in your home, finally!

The name does sound familiar but I can't think which soap it was either!

Saffy was a character in the Britcom 'Absolutely Fabulous' with Jennifer Saunders and Joanna Lumley. The character was played by Julia Sawalha.

I'm happy that you've chosen a name. I know it can be quite a daunting task! Saffy sounds like a great name for a Shetland Sheepdog and fits the usual characteristics of that breed's demeanor. I hope you have many, many years of love and enjoyment with your new family member!

Hey ronaldinu! Ok! You didn't pick my name Precious! But I like the name Saffy! It is really cute! I think she is going really like her new name! It fits her! She is so beautiful! So how much longer before you can bring her home? Have you gone to see her? I can't wait until you can bring her home so we can start seeing a whole bunch of pictures of Saffy! I used to watch Eastenders all the time. It was one of my favorite Britcoms! I love to watch the British sitcoms. They are so much fun to watch. We get some of the British shows in the USA and that one was one of my favorites. I think Sassy was a great choice for a name!

Cute name for a cute puppy. I have always waited to name my pups till I had them and could see thier personalities till we got Shilo. We looked at several pics of her and it just stuck. Corkie was named after we got him. Our other mini weiner dog (which we no longer have) was going to be named Corkie also but when we got her home she ended up being Lil Bit.

Your dog is so cute. And the name that you chose is just perfect for the dog. I know that you will enjoy having the dog around.

Great choice! I don't recall an Eastenders character with that name but the daughter of Jennifer Saunders character in Absolutely Fabulous was called Saffy. It was short for Saffron and I lked it so much it was the name I chose for my previous GSD. I know a Siamese Cat called Saffy too but in her case it's short for Sapphire (the colour of her eyes) Your dog looks cute, and I'm sure with her colouring will suit her name perfectly. Have lots of fun with her!

Saffy is a nice name, and easier to call too. She will remember her name very soon. Your dog is cute, waiting to see her face. Hope you'll enjoy spending time with her.

Well done on finding a name for your new dog. Its hard choosing a name for a pet, you have to get the name just right and it has to sound right as once the dog learns its name you can't change it. I'm in england but sadly don't watch eastenders so can't tell you that. My children are Emmerdale fans

Oh Saffy could really be the best name you could give. It sounds new to me and well appropriate for the new sheepdog. But wait...don't you think your friend in UK will not be offended if he learned that the name of their daughter is also the name of your sheepdog. Just asking? Ha!ha!ha!
