She is very pretty.
There's a new girl in town…

Silly suggestion, maybe, but for original pet names, you might think about Pokemon, i.e. Raichu, Zapdos, Dratini, Geodude, Plusle, etc. I am not familiar with Pokemon, but my son is and wanted to rename Daisy. I thought that he was being clever.

You're good! I am so lost - but the orginality is wonderful!

When I was young…(ok I was seventeen!!) I was obsessed with Pokemon :p But that was in the green, red and blue stage…none of these fancy pets there are now!
It's a great idea and I would probably have a look through them...if I thought my partner wouldn't call the looney bin on me, lol. But really, it's a good idea, especially if you were looking to name a whole litter as there are a lot of Pokemon.

I love the name Fawna, meaning baby deer, also Ayala meaning, deer; gazelle!Elain, also means fawn. She looks so much like a deer face, and they can jump like a gazelle. Good Luck with the name!
And I do love the deer ideas since when I first saw her I thought she had the most gorgeous little deer face…as did my partner and sister.
I think Chris is stuck on the name MIA though so I am trying to find some names that might contain 'mia' to keep him happy. In all fairness I was the one who suggested it in the first place though and it is a pretty little name.

I wanted to change the name of my BRAT when I got him to the African word meaning "good new home" something like that. Since he was coming from a bad situation/home and I had just moved into my first home the day before I got him.
But he knew his name, Squiggy, so I kept it:)I think I searched on Yahoo for "African word meanings" and found some website and just started looking.

Here is a really cool website
-
Thanks Christy, I will go through that site. It looks helpful.
-
I was disappointed that the section for the pygmy tribes was not working. But the website looked pretty neat.

Well to be terribly boring my partner has decided to stick with the name Mia (which I still think is a pretty name) but has decided to be really clever and add an H to the end - Miah. From my two minutes of research online however I've found this is Italian for Mine, to hold dear…which is sweet. Not exactly African or even relevant but I like the name none the less.
Thanks everyone for their help and suggestions. We're picking Miah up today at 11am - very exciting!! I'm sure we'll have some pictures of her up on the net very soon.
-
If her registered name is Fayrelyn Tyger Ella, why not just call her "Tiger" (either spelled "tiger" or "tyger")?
-
Mia is a fine name! Looking forward to hearing (and seeing) all about how it went!

We have ended up calling her Miah, with the H. And she is taking to it well. She had not learned any part of her registered name.
We took our two dogs to Brisbane with us to see Miah and arranged with Freda to meet at a fenced off-leash dog park, which worked out great. It gave us extra time to talk about everything we hadn't covered over the phone.
I have a few new pictures…she's still in that awkward "what's that thing you have in your hands" phase where she won't sit still for the camera or does a goofy look. :p

She's soooooo cute!!! Congratulations. I've always loved the name Mia…I wouldn't worry too much that her name isn't African...she's a cutie pie!

She's adorable!!! Congratulations…I think the "h" is nice. I like it1;)

Well funny you should mention you call her Mia…we named our pup Mia Pharaoh, part for the actress and part because she's from Africa, we thought it was fitting and people seem to think it's clever

Yeah, I had the same situation… I wanted to give her an african name, but I am Italian and my husband fell in love with the name "Bella Bambino Biamondi" and since she was a gift from him...
So, here is the meaning: Beautiful Baby BOY!!! :eek: Okay... I ooopsed:rolleyes: My Italian language knowledge is obviously lacking. She should have been Bella BAMBINA (the "A" makes it feminine)! LOL:D But the papers were already done!!! Oh well...;) Oh, and Biamondi was a family name before we came from Sicily.
I absolutely adore the name Miah, and she is just as adorable as her name! -
Okay, once again… I got started on an older post!!! Duh
