Name ideas!! For Wolfie number 3!

[Wolfiefan]

I’m trying and failing to come up with names for our new girl. So far
Minnie (the breeder said she isn’t!)
Ginny (reminds them of Weasley)
Hattie (like a hat!)
Izzy (nope)
Carys (not keen)
Aoife, Flora, Annie, Freya, Nessa, Lyra?
Help!!!!!

Me too.

Like those huge chaps nicknamed 'Tiny'.

Yeah, but crufts winners often have a preposterously pretentious 'proper name' and then a nice normal name they're actually called.

MOOSE 🫎
And there is an emoji when you send texts about her

Hm...for all their loveliness, afaik wolfies aren't known for the sweetness of their smell.

Disney related:

Jasmine
Daisy
Belle
Cindy
Rose
Jessie
Tiana

Mine are most offended that you say they aren’t sweet of scent.
Scratch that! Just lit a scented candle to erm add a little more fragrant fragrance. 😆
Yes she will have a kennel club name as well as her home one.

I like old lady names.

Doris
Ethel
Eileen
Marge
Freda

Oh I know!!! I used to work at a rescue kennels. We once had a Wolfie cross Great Dane come in. He was a huge boy. Gorgeous as hell but also smelt like it too

I'd go with Daisy... as you already have one ending in -la and -ow.
Dogs often only respond to the last syllable of their name.

I tested this on mine and there is some truth in it!

Is she an Irish wolfhound? Then it has to be an Irish name

What about Maeve (anglicised form of Méabh) after queen Maeve, who was a queen in Irish mythology

or

Molly
Aoife
Tara
Saoirse
Róisín

Tinkerbelle

Sweet Molly Malone

Perdita - ok, she was a dalmation (101 Dalmatian) but fits Disney them, Perdy for short,

Minnie fits with your Disney love (Minnie Mouse)

Petunia - from Bambi

Sky
Bridget- Noble
Fiona-white/fair
Saoirse- freedom
Feala- little wolf
Cara/Caragh- friendship
Orla- Golden princess
Caoimhe- gentle/ precious
Erin- Ireland
Niamh- Radiance/beauty
Aisling- dream
Tara- after the hill of Tara
Naoise-Warrior
Fia- Little deer
Eimear- Swift
Riona- Queen
Grainne- Love

Won’t work unfortunately. The first syllable in madra is pronounced mod, not mad.

Also, the Irish for a hound is cú, not madra.
A wolfhound is cú faoil (pronounced coo fweel).

She looks like a Beth or Bess to me.

Star

Catriona and call her Cat 😆

Mabel
Fern
Roxy
Daisy
Dora
Dilys
Juno
Jenny
Clover
Susan
Wanda
Betty
Betsy

Fiona
Honeysuckle
Harriet
Twinkle

If I had a wolfhound, I'd call it Oolah - the noise the aliens make in War of the Worlds. I could see myself hiking across the moors shouting "OOLAH!" 😆

I just love ancient hound names. There’s classical Greek and Roman texts with lists of suitable names, as you’ve said medieval, 19th century, and similar right up to the modern day. And the really cool thing is how similar they are (especially as many of the names - eg ‘Bowman’ - are distinct from pet dog names). Seriously it’s 4000 years of naming tradition quietly surviving, and I just love it.

Crói - which is Irish for heart. Pronounced Cree

The medieval link gave me a nonexistent page but using the search tool I found the hounds. There's some wonderful and weird names - some unflattering so not appropriate for wolfies lovely girl, but I was very taken with Olyfawnte

Oops put the fada in the wrong place - it’s croí - easy to see I did lower Irish for the leaving cert

Fynke.-
presumably would lead to Stinky Fynke?
