judyk 43 Posted September 20, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 20, 2010 My baby's "Official" name is AYOKA. It's a Cherokee word that means She Brought Hapiness. It seems that Ayoka is to much for some people so it got shortened to Yoki. My name for her (when she's good ) is Yoki Hama. We don't have to get into what I call her when she's bad. (Which isn't very often.) I really like all the names I've read so far. We are some creative, deep thinkers, aint we? These dogs are AWESOME!!!!! There's a former member that had(has) a dog named Ayoka! He's the father to two of our 'kids'!! In fact, when she 'talked' about him she called him Happy!! My husband is still on the search for a name for the latest male!! Being of Native American heritage, he has always been fascinated with the story of Crazy Horse so I'm sure this will be different too!! We'll wait and see!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
miz molly 1,800 Posted January 7, 2012 Report Share Posted January 7, 2012 Tolinka means flapping ears of a coyote Two Moon because he has Yellow eyes thus Tolinka Two Moon. My newest AID's name is Charlie Two Step...My grand daughter (6 years old) told me that was to be his name....so be it! It definitely fits..... 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sherab 2,337 Posted January 7, 2012 Report Share Posted January 7, 2012 Thanks for starting this topic. I am enjoying it. Judy K you go girl! #7. We'll have to have some puppy play dates when we get ours. Aidog that lurks, I love that picture of the gorgeous dog with the blue eyes in front of the flag. What flag is that? Gib I love the dragon theme. I think dogs are dragons too. I bet coyote is popular because these dogs strike me as having a lot of trickster. Hee hee hee. The year of the Iron Rabbit is drawing to a close and this coming year (Feb 22) will be the year of the Water Dragon. Scott is a Wood Dragon. Water feeds wood so I hope for a long and auspicious pairing. I am a fire horse :0 I hope our pup will be connected to the thunder beings and protective powers. If born under Water Dragon that would seem to be a good connection. With that in mind the name I'm drawn to is Heyoka but if that is not respectful then Dorje (Tibetan - thunder bolt), or Wakan Dog (sacred power dog) or Wakinyan (Lakota - thunder being), depending on what is respectful. Here I will defer to Kim. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Allison 2,369 Posted January 16, 2012 Report Share Posted January 16, 2012 Those are all super names. I look forward to meeting your pup--the little thunder being, Heyoka, etc. By any name, he will still smell......sweet. I meant sweet, smell sweet! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
oocahtah 197 Posted February 28, 2013 Report Share Posted February 28, 2013 (edited) so we have finally picked a name mooka it means to dig up which is what he loves to do with the snow and i am sure come thaw the dirt,but at least he showed us some personality Edited February 28, 2013 by oocahtah Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sherab 2,337 Posted March 3, 2013 Report Share Posted March 3, 2013 Welcome Oocahtah! I like Mooka. I'll take a small "Mooka" Latte with whipped cream.... We are currently thinking of girl names. Scott likes "Suki" but 1) it's pronounce "ski" and 2) it isn't really a Japanese name - it means "to love/like" some one. So hopefully another name will strike. We have plenty of time. Unless someone knows a meaningful name that can be shortened to Suki (which seems like a good dog name). Suki Waki? Maybe it will work after all... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

skg 21 Posted March 7, 2013 Report Share Posted March 7, 2013 Our official name is GK Chesterton. We call him Chester. GK Chesterton is a favorite Author of my husband and me. In one of the kids' favorite books, Bunnicula, there is a cat character (a stupendous character) who, named after GK Chesterton, goes by the name of Chester. In the running were Ares (Greek god of War), MacTerra (Mac for short) (Gaelic for Wolf), Madra Rue (Rue for short) (Gaelic for Fox), or Rosco get this one, elfish for fox. But there was so much fighting, i just picked and didn't tell anyone until he arrived. He was so darn cute, no one argued about the name. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Ikiniki 7 Posted January 8, 2017 Report Share Posted January 8, 2017 I renamed Shasta, a white former breeder, Nefret. Nefret means beautiful in ancient Egyptian. She is very beautiful and looks like a white Anubis. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sherab 2,337 Posted January 8, 2017 Report Share Posted January 8, 2017 LKiniki I remember this dog from like 1 photo. She is one of the most stunning creatures I've ever seen. Can't imagine what she'd look like in the flesh. I do hope you will post some more pictures and tell us her story and your story. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Denise E. 1,485 Posted January 9, 2017 Report Share Posted January 9, 2017 Shasta / Nefret always caught my eye. Would love to hear of some of her adventures now! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Denise E. 1,485 Posted January 9, 2017 Report Share Posted January 9, 2017 Tayamni (Azteca X Jay 09-13-2014). Tayamni is a Lakota constellation. Some believe where the souls born come from ... Yamni is Lakota for the number three and the constellation has three parts to it. Coffey (Nosie X Tonto 06/08/2015). "Like the drink, only not spelled the same." John Coffey, (character) The Green Mile. (and the dancing begins ...) 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
