We need a name for a Irish Wolfhound puppy, a little girl.

[RATTER15]

We want a nice name for our new arrival next Saturday, an Irish Wolfhound puppy. (We have two already, see profile pic)

For those not familiar with the breed, they are the worlds tallest dogs, (not necessarily the biggest just the tallest) they are probably one of the friendliest, gentlest and serene breeds and of course they are Irish.

We would like a name to reflect all of these things if possible, preferably an Irish name.

Please help :-)

[ummmm]

Yeah....but everyone will think you got it from big brother...

Geraint. I am sure I read somewhere that the welsh king Owen Glendwr had a faithful wolfhound named Geraint.

Loobyloo, thank you , we have decided to go with Caoimhe
(pronounced Keeva) is an Irish Gaelic given name derived from the Gaelic caomh, meaning beautiful, gentle or precious. It is from the same root as the Irish name Kevin, the name fits the dog perfectly, and especially as the name comes from the name Kevin, My beloved partner "Carakeel" lost her Son to a brain tumour when he was just 21, his name was Kevin, he was also a great lover of the wolfhounds and had his very own wolfhound. thanks again and thank you everybody else who helped! :-) when Keeva arrives home with us next week, I will post some pictures on here :-)

(we will stick to this spelling " Keeva" so we dont have to keep explaining the unusual name/spelling)

Good choice, ratter! Late to this thread, I was going to propose Caoimhe, as you have chosen, Caitlin or Nuala, the names of my three Wolfhound bitches. Only problem I found with Caoimhe is that nobody English could spell it and she was recorded as 'Keeva' by the vet ! You've anticipated that.
Have fun with her. I've a 13 month old Wolfhound dog but you won't need me to tell you about youngsters. The silence broken by the strange noises at night is the best bit, lying in bed wondering what he's chewing or breaking somewhere that makes that noise ! Daytime is easy. Just keep everything breakable or chewable much higher off the ground than you ever imagine necessary ! LOL

Oh no, please don't do that! If you do, then you'll be giving the dog a Manx name...
