Hello

I'm getting a border collie bitch soon and she needs pretty flowerery
name. So
far I've come up with ... Willow, Poppy, Rowan, Holly, Sorrel, Tansy,
Daisy,
Fern, Saffron and Jasmine. Can anyone think of any more?

You're forgetting all the old fashioned ones! ;-)
Rose, Rosemary, Lily, Iris, Violet, May, Pansy

Aaaargggghhhh. Pretty flowery names might do for a ditsy labrador, but
puhlease, give a border collie a proper dog name that it won't be
ashamed of in public :-) Traditionally, border collies use a plain
single syllable name.

Janet.

Such as Bo, Fig, Ivy, May, Pia, Sal?

Incidentally, one of my retrievers is called 'Holly' - but Ditsy's not
in Chambers, and is a word I've not come across before. Which
particular Labrador trait is it describing?
