Help! Have been dithering a week over naming this dog!

I recently adopted an Anatolian Shepherd/Pyrenees cross; she is approximately 10 months old, very sweet natured and playful.

Her canine siblings are: Jasper, Esmée, and Izzy whose name over time morphed to Bizzy; no explanation needed for those familiar with Jack Russell Terriers ! ;)

I am of two minds hence two name lists: common + uncommon

Ava,
Stella
Sophie
Aubrey
Beatrice

Leal
Zia
Azra
Kaya
Ozzi

In an effort to narrow down the choices (and put me out of my misery!), please select one from each column.
Cheers!

Aiyla or Emine (that's pronounced Em - in - ay) she is a Turkish girl!

ChiLove · 05/09/2022 20:03

She's definitely Kaya. None of the other names fit to me, but Kaya seems perfect.

VioletTopaz · 05/09/2022 20:04

Zia

VioletTopaz · 05/09/2022 20:04

(The names on the other list were too ordinary)

Sophie as first choice, Kaya a distant second.

Same^

Olddognewtrick · 05/09/2022 20:10

Sophie or Kaya.

I like Ava and Stella but don’t think they’re as shoutable. And most of the others on your less common list sound too similar to what you already have.

Beamur · 05/09/2022 20:11

Stella or Ozzi

lessthanathirdofanacre · 05/09/2022 20:25

My favourite is Kaya. If I had to choose a name from the first list, I'd go for Ava. But I much prefer Kaya.

She's gorgeous whatever her name turns out to be!

NamelessWoofer · 05/09/2022 20:54

pastypirate: isn't Azra a first name used in Turkey? and Kaya a Turkish surname?

Thx. Emine is a pretty name, but sounds too much like Esmée, her sister. Isn't Azra used as a girl's name in Turkey?

Yes, I like the names on the "common" list, but discovered they are ALL among the most popular girls' names in the area where I live...🙁

Stella or Kaya.

I think Stella suits her more though.

Riverlee · 05/09/2022 21:13

Kaya or Zia.

ozzy is too similar to Izzy.

NamelessWoofer · 05/09/2022 21:17

LarryTrotter · 05/09/2022 19:23

My 6yr old says you should call her Chaos!

From your list I'd go with Kaya.

She's lovely 😍

Chaos: a GREAT name for my next Jack Russell! 😁

Luckymummytoone · 05/09/2022 21:19

She looks like a Stella 🐶🥰

backwhiteandredallover · 05/09/2022 21:25

From your lists I'd choose Kaya

I think she looks like a Shiloh

Paq · 05/09/2022 21:27

She's absolutely fabulous. I think she looks like a Beatrice

LadyCatStark · 05/09/2022 21:30

With a Jasper and an Esme(e) surely the obvious choice is Bella. Or Rosalie.

howdidigettobe50something · 05/09/2022 21:46

She looks like a Stella to me. She is absolutely gorgeous. We've been in Turkey this summer and saw others like her that we really wanted to bring home. Lucky you...and her.😊

WeAllHaveWings · 05/09/2022 21:59

Out of the lists the only one I would consider is Stella

userxx · 05/09/2022 22:10

Kaya 100%.

lolly07766 · 05/09/2022 22:42

She's beautiful! I'd name her Sophie ❤️

SkiingIsHeaven · 05/09/2022 23:07

I think she would suit the name Bob. I don't know why but I thought it the minute I saw her.

ScattyHattie · 05/09/2022 23:26

Azra is pretty, she reminds me of Aslan the lion from Narnia.

NamelessWoofer · 06/09/2022 01:01

Unforgettablefire · 05/09/2022 19:46

I can't advise on a name sorry I'm too blinded by her looks! She's a beauty did you get her from abroad?

from the USA
