  • @JazzysMom:

    So, good bye Kahuna; Hello Keoki.

    Keoki is a nice name and original. How did your DH find it? Does it have an African meaning?

    Hello Keoke!

  • It is Hawaiian. My brother had a friend named Keoki growing up. He prononunced it Key - Oh - Key.

  • Yes, Key-oh-key, and yes Hawaiian.

    My dh has a friend from Hawaii who suggested it. I guess it's equivelent to "George" in English. "George????" I asked, but dh says that is irrelevent as the dog doesn't know it means "George", and he likes the way it sounds.

  • I think it's cute!

  • I like it! Welcome to Jazzy's world, Keoki!!

  • There is an owner here who has two dogs, Kona and Keoki - Keoki was rescued from someone else who couldn't keep him. It's a really nice name, I think….

  • I like it its different.

    If you are anything like me your dogs have lots of names anyway, Rufus answers to Bear at the moment which came about from the song Rupert the Bear which I used to sing to him! Fiji is sometimes called Flea or Felicity (Her show name is Zande Feleji), Kia answers to Kissy shortened from Kissy Keeks and so it goes on!

  • My DH says it doesn't matter what you call them, they don't come anyway!

    I do like Keoki, it has a nice sound.

  • I like the name Keoki too.
    Moetmum you are the first person i have heard say their Dogs have a few names, i thought it was just us.
    Benji used to have quite a few alias, we called him Anubis, Boo Boo and Ninki to name just a few. He did seem to respond to them all , well as much as a Basenji responds anyway.
    We felt his favourite was Ninki as sometimes he would do things a bit better when called that,lol.

    I have to admit to giving mine a few names too…

    Gracie is grassy arse ( She got all excited when someone said gracias or however you spell it so she ends up being called grassy arse now :D ) or Gravy (again, got all excited when someone mentioned Gravy :o ).

    Delilah is Lilah, Lils, Lily.

    Riley is Crickey ( as in Crickey O'Riley :D ) or just Ry.

    And poor Maya gets called MyMy at home :o

    Chloe our old lab is Chlodagh or Da Pig :D Thanks to my brother for the second one lol!

    Beau is The Bobo!

    And Cassia gets called Cassandra when she has been bad!

    Its terribly confusing at times :rolleyes:

    LOL when we were getting Sayblee, Leora had me on the net and we came up with 100 potential names. I picked my top ten and she crossed them all off. (she was about 9 at the time) She picked Sayblee. So Sayblee became my dog but I insisted on naming the next one, hence Arwen. But it turned out good since she doesn't yodel, but gives a very clear loud R a lot.
