Still haven't decided on anything and it's driving me crazy because I want to make a webpage that I can showcase health testing records, titles and other accomplishments even if we don't breed in the future.

Here are ones I like so far:

Blue Zoom Koolies - obviously because of Zuma, I'd love to have her tied into this somehow.

Kalyara Koolies - Kalyara means quick in Aboriginal Australian (problem is that it sounds/looks like a lot of other koolie names)

Alacer Australian Koolies - Alacer is Latin for quick

Something with Velox, which means swift in Latin

Open to any other suggestions, I like things that mean quick, swift, excitement, etc. Words that describe winter or water would work too because we live in Minnesota. Pretty much anything that encompasses the koolie personality.

You didn't list my favorite.

That's because it got veto'd when it was deemed "cutesy". Also, I'm a chronic planner, you know this. I can't not think ahead. The idea of not planning everything gives me hives.

Zoomin Australian Koolies ?

Would also make for entertaining kennel names without pigeonholing people.

Zoomin Zip Tie
Zoomin Bazinga!
Zoomin Zoink
Zoomin Spotty Tree Squirrel

etc.

Nivala = ice water

Stiria = icicle

Alsia = frosty, chilly

Caeruleus = dark blue, the sky

Aerius = blue, flying in the air, airborne

Unda, Undae = wave

I'll try to think of some more. It's been a few years since Latin class and I lost my dictionary.

:rofl1: Zoomin Spotty Tree Squirrel. I'm trying to not go for the cutesy side of Zoom, it's really tough to do.

White Water Koolies?
We don't have any rapids in our rivers unfortunately, just plain jane rivers and lakes.

Aerius = blue, flying in the air, airborne
Oooo I like that!

Well, Zoolie, obviously. Zoolie Koolies :)

I do really like Alacer though, very classy sounding.
Ok, this totally made me laugh out loud and there was someone in the waiting room. Pretty sure I got a funny look.

Williwaw (sudden blast of wind descending from a mountainous coast to the sea)
Aeolus (Greek god of wind)
Windchill
Whiteout
Boreal/Borealis
Lake Effect
Rime (coating of ice)

So many of these made my short list or so super close to one that was on the list:
Aeolian Australian Koolies
Tailwind Koolies

I like Williwaw, love Whiteout, Rime is interesting!

Someone come up with something that has Frost in it. First Frost? Frost Wind? I really suck at this.
Frostline
Hoarfrost (though that could get you some weird looks when spoken aloud)

Yuki Koolies (pronounced yoo-key, almost rhymes with Koolie, and is the Japanese word for snow)
Calyx Koolies (okay this was mostly a joke, as a calyx is a structure in the kidney)
Genki Koolies (pronounced with a hard "G", it's Japanese for "lively, enthusiastic, energetic". I'll stop it with the Japanese names now :D)

Wait, what was your favourite? Just being nosy xD

Love Frostline! I like the idea of Hoarfrost, but like you said, funny looks. Also, Frikkin made me laugh again, speaking of funny looks.

I'm scared to use Japanese words because there are a lot of Japanese disc players and I would hate to be pronouncing it wrong and look like a dork. I love the idea of Yuki though!

Keep them coming, you guys rock at this!
