So I’m getting a puppy and I really want it to have the perfect name!!
It’s a short-haired husky mix so I was thinking something Russian or Eastern European would be cute.
Anyone know some good Russian names? Only Russian names I can think of are [name]Damien[/name], [name]Dimitri[/name], [name]Igor[/name]… [name]Vladimir[/name] lol not much of a fan of any of those.
Names the Boyfriend likes:
[name]Dakota[/name]
[name]Nola[/name]
[name]Charlie[/name]
^^obviously not russian names but… they’re pretty cute.
his given name at the shelter is Yukon. which I actually think is kind of cute. He is so precious and has the coloring of a german shepherd and the little face of a husky!
anyways… puppy names?? don’t have to be russian, you Berries are the best namers around so I turn the floor to you.
EDIT: we’re no longer looking at Russian names- decided we’re not a big fan. Go figure.
Yukon is pretty cute!
I’m not the best at pet names, but my first thought was [name]Misha[/name] or [name]Sasha[/name]–I love both of those! I read a novel once with a Russian guy whose name was Vadeem, I thought that was pretty cool, too. Evgeniy and [name]Vasiliy[/name] are my GP Russian names, too, haha, although they might be a bit much for a pet, haha.
Good luck!
[name]Micah[/name]! (pronounced Mee-ca or My-ca)

What about Kota (or [name]Koda[/name])? For me, 3 syllable names are a bit much for dogs. [name]Nola[/name] is nice, too, as is [name]Echo[/name].
