Dog Names
Hello, saw an old posting on this subject and was hoping to update it. Looking for a name for our new dog. Hauska, Poika, Pentu are in the running. He has a big black spot on his right eye, but don't know any Finnish word for that, that's easy to call him in with. Any feedback/suggestions? Thank you.

Re: Dog Names
Hi!
Here are some suggestions...
My favorites: Laikku = patch
... or Musti = "blakie" - perhaps the most common dog's name in FInland
... or Laku = short for Lakritsa = licorice
Hope this helps.

Hauska, Poika and Pentu are a bit too generic for my taste. Does anyone name their dog Funny, Boy or Puppy in English?Paul_US wrote:Hello, saw an old posting on this subject and was hoping to update it. Looking for a name for our new dog.

Re: Dog Names
No clue, but after all some Finns name their sons "Veli" and daughters "Sisko", so I guess Finland is the promised land of extremely generic names.Upphew wrote:Hauska, Poika and Pentu are a bit too generic for my taste. Does anyone name their dog Funny, Boy or Puppy in English?
Would Kissa be a good non-generic name for a dog?
