Help Name Our Puppy! πΎ
Vote for your favourite name, suggest a new one, or leave a comment.
I'm beyond excited β I'm getting a puppy! He's a gorgeous merle Corgi from Poland, and I'm flying to pick him up in August. Right now his temporary name is Maluszek (Polish for "little one"), but he'll need a proper name on his passport before we travel, so I need your help!
I'd love something that works well in English, or at least shortens to a nickname that does. Here's what I've been thinking about:
- π΅π± A Polish name β he's coming from Poland, so something with roots there feels fitting
- π΄σ §σ ’σ ·σ ¬σ ³σ Ώ A Welsh name β Corgis are a Welsh breed, so Welsh names are very much on the table
- π Something that nods to his merle colouring β those blue, black and white patches are stunning
That said, I'm open to anything! If you've got a name that doesn't fit any of those themes but just feels right, please suggest it. Browse the names below, vote for your favourites, and leave a comment if you have thoughts.
