Hello all! 

I've been rather busy this last two months... I got married and my Husband and I are closing on a house at the end of July... Not to mention we are going through a very very busy transition at work! With all that I figured I'd add to the stress and get a puppy!

Here she is

I'll probably upload more photos of her at some point, I have a few... This is one from before I met her. 

Originally I wanted to name her Freya (Freyja)... but when I met her the name just seemed to fit her sister better...

So now I need help naming. 

My list so far: 

Freya

Winona

Cheyenne

Sienna

Skadi

Soleil

Sayuri

Wayra 

If you can't tell I like celtic, norse and native american names... In a variety of themes: red, snow, white, winter, loyal, woodsy, fiery, brave, spunky, sunny, cold... you get the idea.

Eventually I will be using her for skijoring... Think sled dog but pulling osmeone on skis  

If you have more names to add to the list please let me know!

I plan on taking this list and saying them all to her and seeing which fits her best and what she responds to. 

Thanks in advance all :)

Puppeeeeeee!!! (Dammit, I want one. But I already have four cats. No space for it to play, either.) I voted for Sayuri.

Congrats on getting married, Mrs Nightingale. Got any ring pics?

How about something that means red, like Ruach? Rufus is a boy's name... I dunno. See what sticks :)

Oh you, making me take more pics :P 

Thank you/ :) 

Wanting a dog has been in the works for like 5 years... Too many apartments, and too cramped with the two cats. But now with a house I certainly can and I'll have the space.

Puppy again

Rings (the engagement ring is his Grandmothers. The band is one I chose to match the ring. I love that it's low profile (since I'm so active!)).

Sayuri is a gorgeous name. I'm still liking Freya, I'm so torn. 

Congrats;

As for the name, since you, yourself, like Freya, why not use that -- Though I gotta warn you, it's the name of a Goddess of Beauty & Fertility, and you know how they are usually protrayed right? Not to mention if you research it a bit :P

*Throws a cushion at Wireath* If the puppy wants a family, who are we to stand in her way? Hehe.

@Nightingale, those rings are stunning. I really like the thumb ring, too. (It's been ages since my thumb rings have fitted me.) Really Celtic looking, too. *happy sigh*

Hhahah yes Wireath, you know.... oddly enough the meaning has held me back a bit. Like I -love- the sound of the name, not necessarily what it implies. Though most people I have talked to don't realize what it means, so that's good news. She also has half of those that die in battle... I just remember one of the stories where she cries tears of red gold.. and that made me think of a red husky for some reason.

I figured Freya would match my suite of "God/Goddess" themed pets. I've a horse named Artemis, a cat named Loki, another cat named Murphy (okay, he is the oddball), and in the past I've had a dog named Thor, and a cat named Chaos. I also had a cat named Salem... which I guess also fits the theme... :P

Tapadh Leat!! I enjoy Celtic histories and very much enjoy studying the Gaelic Language. 

Oh she's gorgeous! Puppies are so much fun :D

I gotta go with arrete, Sayuri is a gorgeous name. I agree that Freya sounds good though. Have you tried calling it fast like you would call her? Freya is a bit less of a mouthfull I think ^^.

With her clear blue eyes she has that norse look as well and you could say she's a ginger ( kinda :P)

Beautiful rings by the way :) 

Félicitations encore pour le nouveau chiot! :)

freya sounds like a lovely name since its a norse name ;3

Yukiko!!!
