What a beauty!! I too like people names....

SOPHIE
ELLI
CASSIE
KARMA
GILDA
CLAIRE...I wanted this name so bad for Anabella..but no one else did. hehe

Have fun with the new puppy! She is a cutie!

Thracian, Jennyfur, and Llpau - Thanks! I'm pretty smitten with her. Can't wait to be able to hang out with her all the time.

Lucygoose - Thanks for the suggestions, but I think we have her named picked out already. I do like Claire though, that's cute. And I sure will have fun with her!

Tazi comes to mind, as does sketch. Pippi (as in long stockings because all those spots remind me of freckles). or terrene meaning earthly.

Thanks for all the suggestions - but we've decided to name her Soka. (Like soca, a type of caribbean music. Our other Aussie cross was named Kalypso (calypso), so this seemed fitting. And unique!) It's pronounced like it's spelled 'so-ka'.

A very cute name for a super cute puppy!

She's absolutely beautiful!

Thanks KM!

I wish she was going to stay this size forever, she's too cute right now. I can't wait to get a pomeranian one day, they stay puppy-sized for life!

I also just realized that if I wanted to stretch the music theme a bit more, my horse is named Nova (bossa nova) and my mom's mare is named Rhythm (self explanatory). Lol!

Name suggestions:
Rowan
Annabelle
Desani
Annie
Haven
Those are a few I had for a puppy that didn't work out.
What name have you decided on?

Hallie, you must have missed my post a couple above yours!

OOOO sooo pretty. Our 11.5week pup is a blue merle male. Hubby named him Skyler. We went through 100's of names (literally), after a visit with our little dude we were waiting for take out food, it was a stormy day, clouds were gray & black. Hubby was sitting, staring out the window, looks at me and says "Skyler, his fur looks like the clouds right now". he was right, they did.

We had been trying so hard to find, fun, goofy names (Bernie, Henry, Stanley & Lucas, Parker) but it all just kinda fit when we were least expecting it so have faith, your little girl's name will come - there is always Skyler

eta....I see you did name her already...oops. Congrats!

L2B - That's a great way to come up with a name! The best ones are the ones that you just look at the dog and go, "Yep. It fits."

Pictures of Skyler are needed! (Or do you have them up on here already somewhere?)

I like Soka, and it just takes some time to get used to saying her name, since it's not one I can say I've said before.

Not meaning to hijack the thread but here is Skyler with our Chloe, he not quite 9 weeks in this photo. I'll post other photos in another thread.

I posted on your new thread, but I'll say it here again - Cute!!!
