Name my dog

cheers for all the ideas folks but I'm still looking for that special one

:)
 
There are many Inuit names for a child. Like Hanseraq, Jenseraq, Lasse, Gutti or Jakob.
But I know a little more about nick names.
It depends if the child has an older brother or sister, or a younger brother or sister.
If the baby is a boy and you already have a daughter, then he will get the nick name Aqqalu. Which means (little skat)
If you already have a son then the new boy will get the nick name Nuka (little brother) And the older brother will be called Siiku, by the younger one.
If the baby is a girl, and you already have a son, then the little girl gets the nick name Bibi.
Personly I think Naja is a very beautiful name for a girl. And Nuka But the first rule is, that the first son will get the name Siiku, and the first girl will get the name Naja.
One name is also stuck in my memory, that is Niviangua and it means (a little bushleaf)


I googled this... theres a lot more over there.

I like Nuka for a dog, little brother sounds like part of the family. :D

But then I let my son name our cats Fester and Gomez. :rolleyes:

Was sure I replied to this, and it went MIA, NO, to me it means good stuff, wanna cum home, to the guy I live with, who is pretty, it means Hm, I hate being seen as gay, but threesome or four . . . very cool :D Certain words bother me. I may be gay, but I am not a dyke :D especially when I do not put out for straight guys. :)
 
MalaMUTE...

Somehow, I don't think so! More in line with Snoopy's questions on being called gay. Dog related and tied in with calling names perhaps?

:rolleyes: ;) :D
 
Winston Churchill II ? Its a thought, friends of ours had a full sized pure bread malimute, the dogs name was Winnie (named after the Winston Cup race) he was so big, our buddy would harness him up with the wagon to take the empties back to the beer store, get a 24 and rid the wagon home!

Beautiful dogs, and loveable,

Went to see him today, cant collect him till the 19th march. The wife couldnt put him down. Met the parents and was astounded by the afffection the dogs have for each other.

His kennel club name will be Alaskan dream Navaho or Alaskan dream Cheif. so running along them lines the current favourite petname is Scout, any ideas folks?
:D :nana:

I wanted to name my dog Scout (to kill a mockingbird)

But ended up naming her Scarlett.

Anything named Sweetie, Sugar, Precious, Baby, or any variations of those will BITE THE SHIT OUT OF YOU eventually. I see it happen every day.

In that case, I'm glad we renamed the Aby-tabby we got last year. She came to us with the name of Sweetie, but we felt that was a lame name, so we renamed her Ziba, which is Persian and Arabic for beautiful. She is a beautiful cat. However, despite being renamed, she still sometime bites--on purpose, when playing fight'n'bite, or accidentally, when she is trying to eat my silver cross pendant while I'm in bed and inadvertently nips my neck.

Your cat is very similar to ours except ours is grey but marked the same, he only bites my son (gently) so I presume the cat considers it is equal or higher up the pecking order. I think the Puppy will put a spanner in the works there though!
:catroar:
 
I wish the light had been better in that picture. She's really much ruddier than that. She's all kind of red and cinnamon and fawn and brown colors, except for the tip of her tail, which is gray and black. She has caramel colored stripes on the sides of her face, and her belly dots go all the way down to the skin, as we found out when she had abdominal surgery last year. She definitely considers herself the dominant cat. When she deigns to use the catbox, she never covers.

But my personal fave? Name him Sex.

Everybody I know who has a dog usually calls him "Rover" or "Spot". I call mine Sex. Now, Sex has been very embarrassing to me. When I went to the City Hall to renew the dog's license, I told the clerk that I would like a license for Sex. He said, "I would like to have one too!" Then I said, "But she is a dog!" He said he didn't care what she looked like. I said, "You don't understand.... I have had Sex since I was nine years old." He replied, "You must have been quite a strong boy."

When I decided to get married, I told the minister that I would like to have Sex at the wedding. He told me to wait until after the wedding was over. I said, "But Sex has played a big part in my life and my whole world revolves around Sex." He said he didn't want to hear about my personal life and would not marry us in his church. I told him everyone would enjoy having Sex at the wedding. The next day we were married at the Justice of the Peace. My family is barred from the church from then on.

When my wife and I went on our honeymoon, I took the dog with me. When we checked into the motel, I told the clerk that I wanted a room for me and my wife and a special room for Sex. He said that every room in the motel is a place for sex. I said, "You don't understand. Sex keeps me awake at night." The clerk said, "Me too!"

One day I entered Sex in a contest. But before the competition began, the dog ran away. Another contestant asked me why I was just looking around. I told him that I was going to have Sex in the contest. He said that I should have sold my own tickets. "You don't understand," I said, "I hoped to have Sex on TV." He called me a show off.

When my wife and I separated, we went to court to fight for custody of the dog. I said, "Your Honor, I had Sex before I was married but Sex left me after I was married." The Judge said, "Me too!"

Last night Sex ran off again. I spent hours looking all over for her. A cop came over and asked me what I was doing in the alley at 4 o'clock in the morning. I said, "I'm looking for Sex." -- My case comes up next Thursday.

Well now I've been thrown in jail, been divorced and had more troubles with that dog than I ever foresaw. Why just the other day when I went for my first session with the psychiatrist, she asked me, "What seems to be the trouble?" I replied, "Sex has been my best friend all my life but now it has left me for ever. I couldn't live any longer so lonely." And the doctor said, "Look, mister, you should understand that sex isn't a man's best friend, so get yourself a dog."

:nana:
 
I couldnt resist, a great Navaho name- Breaking wind!
How's that one Cloudy? lol

Give me a clue! In a few weeks we are taking charge of an Alaskan Malamute and i want a really good moniker for him.

I entrust all you AH peeps to come up with something better than Tyler (my kids idea!!)

He's a dog and grey and white in colour, suggestions purleese!
When I was a Kid I had a Dog named "Buddy" he went just about anywhere where I went .I think the Name suited him pefect.I think you should have the Dog with you first before you Name Him. But thats only my opinion." Enjoy"
 
Quin would be a great name.

Literary too: Quinn the Eskimo. :D

I wish I'd thought to name my dog that.
 
Just got this pic AV set through from the breeder, he doesn't look much there! Funny it made me think of "Gremlins" perhaps Stripe would suit?

:D
 
15.5 days to go and almost decided on SCOUT for the dawg's name.
:catroar: hope Smudge can cope!
 
http://www.mythome.org/inuitnames.html
that site lists the names and how to pronounce them
Here are a few I would reccomend. (I lIved in alaska for three years)
Chugach- Mountain Range
Juneau- Capital
Tundra
Chugiak- Very common inuit word, though I don't remember what it means
Klondike-(what would you do for a klondike bar comes to mind though)
Eklutini-(ee klue tin eye)

Also, just so you no longer feel bad, in the lower 48, the natives are refered to as Native americans, but in Alaska the are siomply refered to as natives. By themselves, and others.
