Hi everyone, we have a new puppy.
Pomeranian, 11 weeks old.
The two names we have picked are Kuba and Loki. Kuba (not Cuba, pronounced Coo-ba.
Kuba sounds like a bear and he looks like one.
Loki, the god of Mischief. Little playful.
Help up pick please. Pics attached. :)
Yanbu- kuba
Yabu - Loki.

So cute!
Loki

Loki from me

Thingsdogetbetter · 13/02/2021 09:18

I live in Brighton and every 2and dog is called Loki.

I vote for Fred. Grin

Loki.

peak2021 · 13/02/2021 09:57

I imagined having to call out the puppy's name and felt better calling out Loki, so picked that name.

MissMarpleDarling · 13/02/2021 09:57

Kuba said as in Coo ba sounds utterly ridiculous. Definitely Loki

SecretSpAD · 13/02/2021 09:57

Loki and so cute

toolazytothinkofausername · 13/02/2021 09:59

Cubby :)

scentedgeranium · 13/02/2021 10:02

I'm an outlier. I like Kuba! Way too many doggy Lokis around.
Cute pup tho whatever the name x

MsMarple · 13/02/2021 10:04

Kuba, without a second thought.
Calling anyone Loki is asking for trouble!

Stickytreacle · 13/02/2021 10:06

Prefer Loki, but it's a common dog name, I'd go for Pom, as in pom bears and pomeranian.

Fuhfeuucdr · 13/02/2021 10:11

He looks like a Dave to me

Bufferingkisses · 13/02/2021 10:45

Very cute but I agree with PP about Loki, it is definitely amongst the top 10 dog names. Kuba is cute though!

Serin · 13/02/2021 11:23

Wait till you are down the park shouting Loki and every second dog comes running!!
I'd go with Kuba Smile

Jubulu · 13/02/2021 11:25

Kuba reminds me of a club that was open until like 6am in my uni town. Fun place haha.
But I vote Loki! I've never heard of a dog with that name :)

rawlikesushi · 13/02/2021 11:27

Kuba should be pronounced Cuba surely.

If you want him to be called Coobah they just spell it that way.

Every new puppy around here is called Loki.

fruitypancake · 13/02/2021 11:30

Loki definitely, love it

merryhollybright · 13/02/2021 11:32

Neither
Loki is a name that people seem to think is quirky and characterful but is so overused it's completely the opposite (every Loki owner I know also makes a point of telling everyone that its "the Norse god of mischief")
Kuba will just get pronounced wrong

bruce43mydog · 13/02/2021 11:33

Loki

DonLewis · 13/02/2021 11:34

Nobody sees a dogs name written down. It's not like he'll have a new teacher every year reading his name out from a register, so I don't get the whole, it'll be pronounced wrong.

Ah, what's your dog called?
Coo ba.

Either are lovely, but are you sure he's not a Jimmy?

This.

I mean it’ll be tough for the dog when you’re teaching him to write his own name... OH WAIT NO IT WON’T BECAUSE HE’S A DOG NOT A PERSON.
