Puppy name help,...?

[familyguez.livejournal.com]

 So, my husband and I got an adorable yellow lab. She's a girl, she's very pale yellow (almost white), and she's got a pink nose (not black).

Of course, we can't decide on a name for her. We want something really unique,.. Kind of along the lines of mythological names but it has to roll off the tongue easily, if you know what I mean. Originally, we were going to name her Yuma, but it's not fitting. We've considered alot of names (Bella, Roxy, Ellie, etc.) but we just can't find "the one".

Can you help us? We don't want anything too frilly or cutesy, we don't want to use anything common and we don't want to use people names.







Thank you!

Maisy, Dottie, Lola, Blondie, Scout, Moxie, sorry those are kinda of cutesy, but she's so cute, she needs a cute name.

I typically practice saying the name out loud because you're definitely going to be calling out her name a lot and you don't want to hate the way you say it. And if you're anything like me, you'll end up giving her a million nicknames. I have two cats whose names are Millicent and Daisy and they are called so many other names on top of those.

This! Plus there's lots of nicknames you can get from it.

I'd definitely call her Ophs.

These are some pet names I've collected over the years to use in the future. They all probably lean toward cutesy but I'm putting them out there anyway.

Tofu
Parsley
Curry
Bookworm
Bookmark
Frisbee

People names but not really:

Flannery
Hera
Mona
Freya
Nyx

And my current pets are Nellie and Juno, feel free to steal the names if you like them. :)

Add to that: Susannah, Clementine, and Sunshine...so you could sing her the associated folk songs. ;)

My friend actually has an adult dog that looks a lot like your puppy--she named it Medea.

She is ADORABLE!

I'll give you some pet names i know of...

My kitties are:
Gwendolyn Louise (Gwen, Gwennie Lou, and Squeakmo because she has a squeaky meow lol)
Daisymae Matilda (Dais, Daisy, Daismo...we add -mo to everything in my house lol)
Luckadoo Horatio (rescued him w/ the name Lucky... Luck, Luckmo, etc)

My friend has two girl cats named Ladybug and Pixie.

I've had friends with dogs named Maggie, Emma, Tasha.

My birds (none of which i named) are Miss Maddie and Slugger. I also had Lily, Kiwi, Cindy, and Hootie. And years ago, Spike and Samson.

I think she'd make an adorable Delilah...prob could shorten to Lily, Lilah, Dilly, etc. Ellie Mae is cute too. If you can think of cute "blondes" that'd be cute.

Please post when you decide! :)

Hera (or the Roman counterpart, Juno) would be cute.

Or Athena, Hestia, and Nyx. Even though Nyx is goddess of the night, I think it'd be cute for a puppy/dog that looked the complete opposite.

We have a golden (almost white) lab who was meant to be named Lucy... however, it was a gift for my dad so he ultimately got to choose her name. He's the kind of guy who likes slighly comical names for animals (we had a baby calf called Terry - as in Terry-bul) and he named our girl Abbey because he could call her Abbey the Labby.

Names I thought of and he vetoed:
Matthea
Lily
Colby or Fetta (like the cheese)
Zoe
Maisy/Daisy
