    Whenever my divorce is finally done and I can move into my own home I will be looking for a girl dogger that likes cats, me and doesn't have to be particularly fond of men. I was thinking about names the other day and I would like to be able to name her Emma, after my deceased grandma. She was my favorite and looked after me really well (let me have tea in front of the tv as a kid). But like others here, I would really need to look deeply into her eyes and face to know if that name would fit or another be more suitable. I look forward to that day and the name dilemma.

    How about Amarillo, which is yellow in Spanish? Or Giallo, in Italian?

    I have always wanted -- lifestyle permitted -- a collie named Melon.

    I have an entire list compiled of potential names, but haven't gotten to use any in such a long time. Most of my animals come to me already named. Astaire is on the top of my name list, though.
    The Minions:
    {The Dog: Towser & Raiden} {The Cats: Khaith, Martha, Adelaide, Snowball, & Floki} {The Bird: Gir}

    They always pick their own

    I have found that no matter what you think about or dream about when it comes to dog names they always seem to have their own ideas about who they are.
    When we picked out our puppies at the breeder, before we brought them home I was thinking about mythical gods. Zeus and Apollo. Castor and Pollax. Things like that.
    But… When we brought them home it was a totally different story. For one thing, we wound up bringing home 3!!! They had 1 male left that the original buyer backed out on and my husband just couldn’t leave him behind.

    So we wound up with-

    Maximus – He took over right away, acting like a General and commanding attention and worship from everyone.

    Loki – He was the real trickster of the bunch, always playing, bringing toys to you and asking to be played with. Rolling over on his back and just proving he was the cutest.

    And Rudy – He was the smallest of them all. Only 6 lbs. when his brothers were already pushing 9 lbs. But he never let that keep him back, he had determination and spunk and always kept up with his brothers. So we named him after the character in the movie “Rudy” about the Notre Dame football player who was too small to play, but proved he could anyway.

    Though my son was determined to have a dog and name him Shamus. We bought him a Golden Retriever and I have to say the name fits him perfectly!!!

    Puppies make the best friends

    Once I spoke the language of the flowers,

    Once I understood each word the caterpillar said,

    Once I smiled in secret at the gossip of the starlings,

    And shared a conversation with the housefly

    in my bed.

    Once I heard and answered all the questions

    of the crickets,

    And joined the crying of each falling dying

    flake of snow,

    Once I spoke the language of the flowers. . . .

    How did it go?

    How did it go?

    Cecelia has been high on my list for months. Other than that I like solid short names. I love the name Finn.

    If all goes according to my evil plans, that name will be put into use soon.
