Hi as some know one of my dogs is named Tonta, but i really don´t like that name, besides she doesn´t even respond to that, because shes a very submissive dog, sweet but submissive, also shes very jumpy, but she loves to play, shes a rather calm dog for a husky, she´ll bark at dogs, strangers passing by, but she gets jumpy if someone get too close.

we call her tonta, because since always she let my other dogs "steal" her food, get her away from water and stuff, all because she is the most submissive of all, so i had to put her in a separate space, and shes much happier that way, no other dogs bullying her.

so i thought she needed another name, please give me your suggestions and later i may have a poll with the ones i think suit her the most or even a contest for a name. so here a re a couple of pics of her, shes dilute black and white, one brown one blue eye, and shes petite sized (for a husky, compared to the previous ones i owned)

actually Tonta is like "Dumb" (on the soft side of meaning, but you got the idea right)

your suggestions are great, i´ll keep open for more so i can have a poll or contest made, but i really loved the ones you suggested already. Thanks!

Well, she sounds like a little angel, how about Angel? (she really does have such a sweet face!)

I found a few that are pretty...

leena is russian and it means illumination...

charlotte is french and means petite and feminine...

lottie (or lotta) is latin and it means petite beauty...

modesta is latin for shy.

darra is gaelic and it means small, great one. i thought the meaning was good...because she's small, but, huskies always look so majestic...

good luck finding her perfect name!

ilona - hungarian - beautiful, sunshine

vashti - persian - beautiful
solita - latin - alone

My choice is close to her origional name, Tonya. Its a very pretty name & since its not too far from her origional name it wont be hard to remember :)

I agree with King2005. I immediately thought of choosing something along the lines of Tonya or Anya <---I think that name is very elegant and sophisticated for a very noble looking breed :)

Darra



Hey, I liked most of the names on your list, but, this was my favorite of the ones I found on the baby name site...It's pretty and unique...easy to pronounce, too. ;) I can't wait to hear what you've chosen for her.

i´m still undecided, it´s a big deal (a name change) so i want to do it right

and also i´m considering about pronounciation, because it differs saying it in english than spanish, so i also want a name that´s not that hard since when people ask i really hate when you have to spell it, but i want to find the best name so i´ll try doing the best i can get to fullfill all situations.

thanks for your help

Alazne : miracle
Elsa : truth
Gaspara : treasure
Kemina : strong

Sofia : wise
Yoana : gift of God

It is a big deal, I think it's cool that you're taking your time. Just can't wait to hear what her name is going to be, even if it's nothing that was suggested! ;) Doesn't matter...
