Hi everyone, we have a new puppy.

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.

Loki is very generic. I'd go for Kuba.

loubieloo4 · 14/02/2021 00:05

Looks like a fox to me!

honeylulu · 14/02/2021 00:18

Loki makes me think of lochia, yeuch!

Stigsmother · 14/02/2021 02:02

Cubby

ozymandiusking · 14/02/2021 02:12

What about Woofie, or Teddy, or Freddy?

Jollygoodtime · 14/02/2021 02:34

Not Loki. It’s the dog name of the moment. I’d also think it was more of a dark, big dogs name too. That’s maybe just me. If you want to go Marvel what about Wolverine or Juggernaut? Only kidding! Kuba is cute. He also looks like a little fox Smile

BigusBumus · 14/02/2021 03:19

I don't know a single dog called Loki. (We are rural and it's mostly
Black labs, Working cockers and terriers round here called normal names like Bessie and Pip and
Poppy).

How do you pronounce Loki?

jumpyturtles · 14/02/2021 03:39

I think he looks like a fox!

SakuraEdenSwan1 · 14/02/2021 03:39

Perrie Edwards dog is called Hatchi and identical to yours!
I think you should call him Titan instead lol

Wiredforsound · 14/02/2021 05:04

Thor would be a better name.

Mypathtriedtokillme · 14/02/2021 05:17

I think he’s a Wayne or Barry.

bloodyhairy · 14/02/2021 05:23

Steve.

CoffeeRunner · 14/02/2021 05:50

I must be odd. I’ve never heard of a dog called Loki before this thread Grin.

SeaShelll · 15/03/2021 18:14

I’m so sorry I didn’t even know this post went through, it said there was an error. I’ve just come on to have a look at another post I’m following and all these comments.
Anyway we went for Kuba and everyone is right it’s a polish variant for Jacob, almost like a nickname. We did it on purpose because the breeder said the kids name the pup Jacob and I wanted to keep in with the theme. He’s grown so much since then.

Thank you for all your responses. Xx

Andrew. They’re both awful names. Very ‘try too hard’

PlanetPuddle · 17/03/2021 07:58

Hello Kuba

Justbeing5 · 17/03/2021 08:19

Pom Pom

Justbeing5 · 17/03/2021 08:21

Too late...Hi Kuba!

dontdisturbmenow · 17/03/2021 08:24

Half of the puppies in the park this year seem to be called Loki. I don't even this it's nice sounding at all. Kuba is original and less common.

Felifox · 17/03/2021 08:25

What a bundle of gorgeousness!

Pumperthepumper · 17/03/2021 08:45

Thor!

Pumperthepumper · 17/03/2021 08:46

Ah that’ll teach me to read the thread properly 😂

SeaShelll · 22/03/2021 20:46

Thanks for all the lovely comments. :D

@BigPaperBag sorry you feel that way, lucky he’s not yours then. :) my brother is named Andrew so wouldn’t have it, but appreciate it :D

Kuma (Coo-ma) actually means bear?

SeaShelll · 24/03/2021 17:39
