Lupusina

Come on guys...is it going to work? I want something wolf-like that is going to convey strength and a Don't Mess With Me attitude, while still seeming exclusive and feminine-sounding. The diminutive Loopy would be our affectionate family name.

What do you all think?

Sounds a bit Kath and Kim to me - Lupus for a boy, Enema for a girl

nope, the wonder of google assures me that it is an auto-immune disease.

Lupus is an illness! You cannot use the name Lupusina.

Lupusina is a real name in South America, means 'little wolf' in Spanish, and the name of the disease comes from the latin for wolf.

Stop being so horrid to BoF. It's a lovely name.

Think it only works in your surname is Suit .

Tell you what though, Llama would be a fab middle name.

Lupus = autoimmune disease.

For the full monty you could name her

Systemic Lupus Erythrmatosis thus cutting out the need to ponder upon middle names.

At last someone can see where I'm coming from! I conceived on a particularly fun trek down the Amazon, during which we were forced into more intimacy on a hammock than I am normally used too, on account of needing to sleep clear of the insects. Coleoptera was one suggestion put forward by DP, but I don't want to name her after a bug.

Oh I like it

Being called Loopy would set her apart from the common hordes, and I'd definitely think twice about messing with a Loopy.

Llama is a great middle name! It fits the whole funky Latin vibe I want to go for, thanks!

PeePee would be a charming diminutive, but I think I'm still leaning towards Loopy.
