We’re getting a new Weimaraner puppy in a couple of weeks and need a name! It’s a boy! We like German words/names, but not people names. Our past male Weims were Panzer, Kaiser, and Schatten. Thanks for any help!

I love Weimaraner ‘s gray coats. Fog in German is Nebler and smoke is Rauch.
ETA: hunter is Jager in German with two dots above the a
Mountain is Berg. Loyal is Treu. Thunder is Donner

I also had a dog named Kaiser, a schnauzer from my childhood. Such a personality. Still miss him 25 yrs later.
I was coming to suggest Otto, but see it is already on Patter’s truly impressive list.

Blitzen. No particular reason other than it sounds a little Germanic and the colour of their coat reminds me of a storm . . . and Blitzen sounds a bit like blizzard which I picked up from a previous post saying Donner meant thunder . . . and Donner and Blitzen were Santa’s reindeer. . . . I like the name Comet too.  |

We had a Vizsla that we named Jager (his full name was something like Jagermeister's Midnight Sun). His father was a Master Hunter, so the name fit perfectly. To me a Vizsla and a Weimeraner are close in looks, except size and color. |

Pfeffer = Pepper Or maybe because it’s a boy Pfeffernusse = Pepper Nuts. My mom and aunts used to make Pfeffernusse cookies (spicy little gingerbread like cookie bites) at Christmastime for years and years!  |

When I was a kid we went with a Peanuts theme...Lucy, Snoopy, and I had a dachshund named Schroeder. Still love that one.

First of all, this thread is useless without pictures! 🤣
As far as the name, I’m partial to Otto because I have a cat named Otto. I also like Rauch, which means smoke in German.
