Need Help Choosing An Irish Name

Hi All,

I'm getting another Irish Wolfhound today and need help choosing a name for her.

The breeder named her Liza (LIE-za) which I'd like to change because it's not Irish.

I'd like a name that sounds similar to Liza and have gone to web sites searching for one.

So far, I've come up with Sile, Liadan and Lucy.

I have 3 other dogs at this time, Nora, Ruari and Clare. I don't want a name that sounds close to any of their names -- too confusing for them.

Can you help me out? I'd greatly appreciate it!

Sophie

My cats names are Neko (Japanese meaning Cat) and Isis (Egyptian Goddess of Motherhood/Rebirth).

So far, the python has been called Finbar, Fionn, and Snakey-poo. :-p

Well-- neither's tried to eat the other yet, so I guess they get along alright! For now at least. When Snakey-poo is about 6 feet long, we'll see how well they'll play together... :-p (just kidding)

When I play with the python, I lock the cats out of the room; when I am with the cats, Snakey's safe in his little aquarium, securely locked.

Thanks for the link! I'll have to poke around for something fitting... :-p; ▶ Reply to This

Ceili (kaylee)

She'd be hapy to share a name with a wolfhound.

How did you come up with this name?

Does it have a meaning?

I think your girl is lovely and has such intelligent eyes.
