Need puppy names! Help!

[Emily]

This poor puppy still doesn't have a name, argh!

So far on my list is:

Pagan
Mara
Regan
Matilda

Except for Matilda, I'm leaning towards a Celtic name since it's in the breed's origin and I'm a nerd about the ancient Celts. But I'm open to other things! What you should know about her:

She is SPUNKY
She thinks very highly of herself
She is TOUGH AS NAILS

I generally prefer two-syllable names with some hard consonants so that I can call it easily in the ring. Registered name is totally undecided right now.

Fire away!

I like Mara, it's pretty.

 

[Beanie]

Reagan was on my list of names for Payton and I ended up passing it over, but I love the name! So Regan gets a vote from me.
I also love Matilda but that's definitely not easy to call in the ring... you'd probably end up calling her "Tilly?" Or maybe Mattie (like Maddie)? I don't know that either of those seem to suit her.

Meredith? Short name Merry? Nerys, Andais, Siobhan, Tamlyn, Maeve... Yes, names from the Merry Gentry series lol.

 

[MericoX]

I like Pagan!

 

[Lossalfling]

she is so fox like.. I would be tempted with Vixen..

 

[Moth]

Mab
Morrigan
Aislyn

I knew a lovely dog named Pagan, she just passed away in the last few months. She was an APBT, and was a wonderful girl (totally ball obsessed in her younger years!). So Pagan gets my vote

Niamh
Caoimhe
Laoise (La-sha) means "radiant girl"

 

[Emily]

Thanks guys!

Niamh
Caoimhe
Laoise (La-sha) means "radiant girl"

I really, really like Caoimhe, though I would Anglicize it to Keeva, just to save myself a headache ringside.

I'm of no help. The only thing I can think of is "Ears". ROFL

I do have to say I like Pagan, and Keeva would be ADORABLE.

 

[StillandSilent]

I love Pagan! Funny enough, the only Pagan I knew was also a pit.

 

[Emily]

Thanks for all the help, guys! As of yesterday, her name is....



Keeva! yay! I will be sure to pester you guys in a little bit when I need to decide a registered name.

 

[MPP]

Gee. And here I was going to vote for "Ears." Oh, well, Keeva is also really nice.

 

[milos_mommy]

Aww, I love Keeva! It really fits her, too.
