It's All in the Name!
Yesterday I wrote about how three of our long time clients for Everything & The Dog clients and true FRIENDS, have each opened their home to a new Family Member. We are so excited to meet them all, but in particular to meet "Little One", as we now call her cause she doesn't have a name.
Here she is at a tiny four weeks old.
"Little One" won't be able to leave her Mom until she is at least TEN weeks old, so I asked our client, Jo, if we could have a Name That Dog contest. (As in all of our contests, we may or may not have a prize ----- because this is, of course, a way to HAVE FUN and be creative)
One of Jo's friends, who is Vietnamese, nominated the name of XiuXiu (which is prounced as "seeooooseeoo" and means "Little Bit" in that language.
Since we were settling on "Little One" (just for now) , seems as if this person is on the same tack. But I think that because she is such an unusual dog (and will become so brilliant and beautiful too), that she deserves a wonderful and original name. Not that XiuXiu isn't wonderful and original, but then it is rather hard to pronounce if you don't know the language.
Our entry into the contest (and yes, I can enter because I thought this up in the first place) is Pequeña
This name mean's Little One in Spanish
We also like Aponi (pronounced ah-pah-nee) as this means BUTTERFLY in the Blackfoot Language (American Indian). Also Lomasi (pronounce loh-mah-see) which is the Hopi (also American Indian) word for Good Flower.
There is a cute list of names for Little People at Names for Little People but I'm not going to influence any voting now. I have made my three entries (did I tell you that everyone could send in three names? ---- opps, sorry)
So put on your thinking cap and come up with a really terrific name for Jo's Little One.
Of course Jo will have the final say and will pick through any list we send her, but I bet she is currently surrounded by books and web-searching results. This is just sooooooooo exciting!
Love and Licks,
Bob
----------- remember - she will grow to be Brilliant & Beautiful & Smart, so keep that in mind.
