Puppy names!

[Lisa_T]

OK, I'm trying to think of a name for my pup.

My current possibilities are
Gem/Gemma
Pippa
Kira/ Kara

I'd also love something that means flame/fire/ruby/red- you get the idea, but NOT Ginger. And 'Ruby' is a no because I find R sounds awkward at the beginning of a word. Same problem with S, Sh/Ch, and D sounds. T I can cope with. In fact, no 's' at all! Other languages, nicknames etc are fine.

Anyone think of names that sound suitably doggy that fit those parameters?

[Lani]

is it a girl puppy or boy? (I'm thinking girl but want to confirm).

A few names I had in mind for Lucky:

Copper
Penny
Pumpkin Spice

Just ideas but they do reference the color.

Good luck. Isn't it fun naming a new baby!!!???

They are all lovely names.

The only suggestion I can think of is Rua, which is red-haired in Irish. My friends cat is called rua and is lovely! Sorry that's not much help though...

I know you don't want any names that start with a "S" but if my darling little Ruby Male had been a Female I would of definetely called her

"SASSY"

Just so fitting for the red headed personality.

In the meantime I will see what else I come up with.

how about Abbie I always want a cavalier little girl called that Aileen

[Kdemars]

Flint - quartz that produces a spark of fire when struck by steel

Tandie - from the Old Norse term "tandr", meaning "fire."

Aideen (Aiden) - Little fire, Celtic/Gaelic

Nuria - God's Fire, Hebrew

My personal favorite :
Keegan - Small and fiery, bright flame Celtic/Gaelic (pronounced key-gan)

Holly - b/c the plant has red berries

Claret - a red wine

Hannah - no reason - I just like it!!!

kdemars they are great names!
Am keeping them on file in case I ever get a ruby.

Like the claret one.
Am having a glass of shiraz at the moment... (stressful day!)
might add that one to my list!

Actually, I like the idea of an Irish name. I saw Aithne/eithne (sp) as meaning 'fiery', i think, but pronunciation???

On the list so far I like

Penny
Claret
Tandie

Holly- already got one! One friend suggested naming the pupply 'Ivy' hummmm Always makes me think of 'poison Ivy' from Coronation Street!

Also have

Aba which means 'born on Thursday' in some lingo- forget which. The pup was, and it could be abbreviated (!) as Abbie..

Keep 'em coming!

Eithne is pronounced 'Et-na' I think Lisa

How about Garnet - that's a rare red precious stone
