We will be getting our little girl in 9 days. Trying to come up with a name is hard. I have a very small list, what do you think? Any other ideas for us?

Marlee
Nishka (my daughter's favorite)
Mya
Lily
Aiyana (my favorite)
Penny

personally i like Mya but then again i named mine Maya but i also like Nishka a lot also.

+1 for Nishka. Classic Husky type of name.

Sometimes it takes meeting the little one and discovering who they are for the name to pop. That's how Zapper got his name- he had a fascination with power outlets, licking them.

We are trying to increase our name list. My daughter also likes Sasha but I voted no, her name is Tasha...a little to close if you ask me. lol! We are not really clever when it comes to names. Our cats name is Waffle and my daughter's rabbit's name is Dusty.

Then what about Nikita?

What is you an your daughters favorite movie? Or tv show? Or hobby? What do you both have in common

Lily or penny, but then again I like the non sib sounding names

I would say have a short list and wait until you meet her. Ripley came with the name Feather and it so didn't suit her.After tossing a load of them around, Ripley was suggested to us because she's so butch and it stuck. We are big on letting their personalities help decide.

(I kinda like Penny though........lol)

Yes! We had names picked out for both dogs (we actually debated dog #1's name for MONTHS before adopting) and all of that went out the window when we met our dogs! Chili is soooo not a Stoli! You'll find yourself drawn to some of the name or maybe even a new name once your meet your cutie!

I like Nishka, Lily, and Aiyana.
Before we got Nunya, my mom and I spent literally six hours picking out different names and voting yes or no. We had a list of maybe ten and my dad said "no, absolutely not" to all of them and suggested Nunya Damn Business, so when people ask what his name is we can say Nunya Damn Business. That was a shock to the vet receptionist over the phone schedualing his neuter haha
And Nunya kinda sounds like a husky name and if totally fits him.
So maybe you won't like any of the names you picked out and think of one on the spot

I have names picked out for my next 3 dogs

I think you should let your daughter name her.

I vote Marlee or Aiyana!

I did tell Tasha that she could name her. I'm just glad she picked something cute so far. My oldest was 4 (she's 18 now) when we got out Lab/Husky mix. He was all black with one small white spot on his chest, she named him spotty. lol! Needless to say I wasn't going to call a black dog spotty so I called him Buddy.

lol! That's funny, our cat's name is Waffle.

Waffle & Pancake! The dream team!!

Nishka!

We picked our pups name before we got him. We wanted a unique name as well as one with a strong meaning. I wanted a name that connected me to my favorite place (Seattle). It worked for us, maybe this "formula" will work for you too? Good luck and congrats on your soon-to-be furbaby!

Thanks! I'll be posting pictures of the one we pick as well as the name. I'm sure you all will get sick of seeing her face really soon. lol

personnally I favor Denali for obvious reasons.

I like Denali too but Tasha doesn't.

My favorite name is Aurora and that's what I was going to name Selena until I brought her home and the name Selena and it's meaning just made perfect sense. So even though I had one picked out we didn't use it lol. GL with your new fur baby, can't wait to see pictures!

Our name list has grown a little. My daughter and I sat down and picked out a couple other names, just in case the one we pick doesn't look like a Nishka. We have 6 names that we both like, Grace, Jewel, Katie, Lily, Nishka and Winter. Going to see what my husband thinks and email the list to my oldest daughter to see if she has any more ideas. I have a feeling we will have a name-less puppy for a couple of days.

Something I did was practice yelling it! If it doesn't sound good in a baby voice or being bellowed - you may need to keep thinking. Just practice...

GRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACEEE!!!!!!!!!!

Oh ya, that sounds nice... I know I'm no help - it's tough... We took a few weeks honestly. Whatever you pick, once you have the little pup and they start looking you in the eye when you call it out, all of a sudden you know you made the right choice! Good luck!
