NAMES??

[shais_mom]

I know we have discussed this topic several times at great legnths. But I was wondering if anyone had any good ideas for my new golden retreiver puppy that should be coming home in 2-3 weeks!!!
Here is some possibilties: (everyone on instant messenger laughed at me!!) b/c the list keeps growing!!!
Here are some names with K
for Kylie:
Kamali - spirit guide - protector
Kalila - beloved
Kana- powerful
Karma (I really like this one!)
Kaluha (and this one)
Khalil - friend
Kin- golden
Kyria- ladylike
Kenya
Keegan

and others
Tequila Rose (like this one also)
Sierra
Choe (Korean for beautiful)
Chloe
Cleo
Bourban( good name for a Golden and
in honor of our Pettalk's Bourban.)

~~~~I know I will have to get to know the puppy first and then decide, but I just wondered if anyone had any ideas!!!~~~~


I would really like to use "Spirit" as a middle name in honor of Shaianne. I would also like to use Shaianne's name someway/somehow on her registration papers, as a tribute to her.
for ex:
Shaianne's Choe Spirit
would mean Shaianne's Beautiful Spirit
And I just think the names Karma, Kaluha, and Tequila are neat!!!!!
Thanks for all the help!!

shais_mom,
Got a thing for liquor?
Is your puppy going to be a female or a male?
Maybe that will help folks out making suggestions.

I LOVE the name Keegan, but I think it's a more masculine (sp?) name, and not sure if you were planning on a girlie or a boy pup. Kin and Karma are also great and those could go either way in my opinion. I am a big fan of unique, uncommon names, so those are the names that attracted me. So have you met the bundle of golden fur yet? Do you have any idea if you want to get a boy or girl? Has the breeder picked one out for you yet?

Staci, are you getting excited?? I am excited for you! I can smell the puppy breath from here!

There was a cat of the day this week named Mable, and I just loved that name. Also, check the names list on the GR site. Its on the left side, near the top, I think. It has an ongoing list of all the names the members have given their dogs. There is even one named Logan!

Here are a few ideas.

Ameretto
Anais (pretty for a girlie pup)
Bailey
Bianca
Champagne
Fleur (Flower in French)
Gatsby
Hazel
Ivy
Juniper
Lily
Maple
Martini
Orion
Ruby
Savvanah

Or you could look for names in Greek or Roman mythology.

Just a thought.

I used to work with a woman who had a golden girl named Autumn. Being that they are the color of fallen autumn leaves, I think that's a real pretty name.

Here's a site where you can type in any English word & it'll get translated into Hawaiin. If you scroll to the bottom, you can also click on Hawaiin Pet Names or Baby names.
I like the Hawaiin name 'Kalani'.
I typed in our tibbie's name 'Angel' & up came the Hawaiin match 'Anela'. I think that's pretty!

But maybe when you see your puppy, the right name will jump into your head. That's happened with all our dogs. When I first saw our new tri-colour sheltie (a rescue), he LOOKED like a 'Danny' to me.
And when we got our golden tibetan spaniel, she LOOKED like an 'Angel' to me. Yet I would never have thought of naming a dog 'Angel'!

I like Karma for a girl and Karmon for a boy.

OMG only 2 or 3 weeks away! How exciting. I can smell the puppy breath too! I just love puppy breath and think they should bottle the smell.

Here are my suggestions:

Since you seem to want K names:
Kacey
Klondike
Kirby
King
Kenya

Non K names may be:
Dakota
Harley
Darby
Gunner
Prince
Chance
Cheyenne (Close to Shaianne)

We want to see pictures as soon as possible!!!!!!

I have always loved the name Summer for a golden.

Summer Spirit ...... kinda has a ring to it

I am very very very very partial to Keegan. I think I mentioned that to you on AIM. Keegan Shai is what I like -- Or Keegan Spirit... Or Shaianne's Keegan Spirt. Everyone has come up with some great great suggestions. I do agree though, that a name will just come to you that will stick. That is how I named Lexi and Maddie.

But, here are some suggestions:

Oh, wait, CRAP! I forgot if you friend picked out a boy or girl for you... I want to say boy... so here are names that I really like for boys and girls:

Keegan
Keegan
Keegan
Keegan
Keegan

ha ha ha - just kidding... I just love that name!!!

[AdoreMyDogs]

Angel, I also have a fondness for that name. I also like the name Keegan and Keegan. Keegan is a nice name too.

Angel, I babysat for a baby named Keegan several years back. He was adorable and I absolutely loved his name.

How exciting Staci!!! I LOVE the names Karma and Kahlua!! I bet you are having trouble sleeping, I know i would be! 2-3 weeks will be here before ya know it! Hmmmmmm Karma Spirit,.......Kahlua Spirit, I like them both! I can't wait to see pix!!

How exciting to be naming a new bundle o' joy! I remember our extensive list of possibilities during the first week we had Eli--for every one name we'd cross off the list (hoping to narrow it down to the one *perfect* name), we'd put 2-3 more onto the list. Then the ideal one just hit us like a bolt from the blue!

We had neighbors once who owned a beautiful Golden named Oro (Spanish for "gold"). The name sounds especially terrific if you can roll your R's! Another person I know has a Golden named Osa (Spanish for "little she-bear"). Kinda neat ideas, but perhaps not what you're looking for...&lt;sigh&gt; I tried!
