    Pet Name Meanings

    I was playing around on the internet one day and I looked up pet name meanings for Duncan and Jack....
    To my surprise Duncan, celtic origin, means dark one or dark warrior. And of course, he's a mostly black dog!! I didn't know that it meant that when I named him. I just thought is sounded Scottish and the SPCA thought he was part Gordon Setter....
    And Jack mean's God's gracious gift, which fits him perfectly!!!! So I looked up some other Pet Talkers dog's names and their meanings....
    If I forgot someone I apologize, I just made a list off the top of my head. Forgive me, I'm at work too and that just sucks the life right out of me!!!

    Drake: Origin: Latin Dragon (or duck but, although funny that doesn't fit!! )
    Honey: Origin: English Sweet (or Cockroach in African!!! )
    Lily: Origin: Greek A Blue-Colored Flower (Well that's a surprise!!)
    Cody: Origin: Anglo-Saxon Cushion
    Star didn't come up....
    Rufus: Origin: Latin Red-haired (???)
    Josie didn't come up either
    Dixie- didn't come up...
    Dusty: Origin: Teutonic Valiant
    Kia: didn't come up....
    Dakota: again, didn't come up
    Cincy: no hit...
    Sadie: nothing
    Geez, some of these should be there!!!! Anyway, I just looked under Google.com for pet name meanings and picked a site. It's pretty cool!!! You guys should take a gander and see if any of your names come up and are fitting!! Just for a little fun on this Wednesday afternoon!!

    How cool!

    That's okay that Kia's name didn't come up. I'll try some other sites by going to google.

    But to me, Kia means:

    Keeping
    It
    All Together



    Because she helps keep my life together.

    Kimmy, how original! KIA.

    Jenni, I never knew Drake meant Dragon in Latin. I knew about the duck all along!
    Drake was named after Sir Francis Drake, a great explorer.

    "Drake" is also how you saw dragon in Swedish

    Can't find any specific meaning for "Tina" though...

    Anna means full of grace and Rosie said the most beautiful of flowers....

    Seeing the name Anna reminded me of Angus and Roxey.

    Angus means: outstanding and expectional man

    Roxey didnt' come up...

    I am not surprised you didn't find Cincy...it comes from Cincinnati (Ralph and I both went to the Univeristy of Cincinnati, and met there)

    Thanks for looking them up!!
