Laika

I really love the name Laika (pronounced LIKE-[name]AH[/name]. Unusual, I know, but bear with me!) for a girl’s name, but can’t think of what middle names would go well with it. Any ideas?

And just for fun, please suggest to me boy names (first and middle names appreciated) that would go well with Laika as a sibling pair.

Thank you! <3

[name]Hi[/name]! I’ve never heard Laika before. Out of curiosity, do you know its origins?

Laika [name]Genevieve[/name]
Laika [name]Madeleine[/name]
Laika [name]Vivienne[/name]

(I’d personally just avoid a noun in the middle, because to me, something like Laika [name]Rose[/name] sounds like “like a rose.”)

I can seee Laika with romantic or (at least slightly) exotic sounding names, like:

[name]Cassius[/name]
[name]Dominic[/name]
[name]Dashiell[/name]
[name]Gabriel[/name]
[name]Julian[/name]
[name]Raphael[/name]
[name]Sebastian[/name]
[name]Willem[/name]

Good luck! :slight_smile:

I like the name.
I wouldn’t use it though, because the first thing that comes to my mind, when hearing it, is the poor dog the russians sent off into the universe back in the days.They wanted to now how long she would survive up there. Now I always imagine the poor dead dog. But I guess I’m a freak and the only one with that thought :slight_smile:
