There's a new girl in town…

  • If her registered name is Fayrelyn Tyger Ella, why not just call her "Tiger" (either spelled "tiger" or "tyger")?

  • Mia is a fine name! Looking forward to hearing (and seeing) all about how it went!

    We have ended up calling her Miah, with the H. And she is taking to it well. She had not learned any part of her registered name.

    We took our two dogs to Brisbane with us to see Miah and arranged with Freda to meet at a fenced off-leash dog park, which worked out great. It gave us extra time to talk about everything we hadn't covered over the phone.

    I have a few new pictures…she's still in that awkward "what's that thing you have in your hands" phase where she won't sit still for the camera or does a goofy look. :p

  • Wonderful Pictures And Congrats Again

  • She's soooooo cute!!! Congratulations. I've always loved the name Mia…I wouldn't worry too much that her name isn't African...she's a cutie pie! :D

    She's adorable!!! Congratulations…I think the "h" is nice. I like it1;)

  • Well funny you should mention you call her Mia…we named our pup Mia Pharaoh, part for the actress and part because she's from Africa, we thought it was fitting and people seem to think it's clever :)

  • @Channie:

    Well to be terribly boring my partner has decided to stick with the name Mia (which I still think is a pretty name) but has decided to be really clever and add an H to the end - Miah. From my two minutes of research online however I've found this is Italian for Mine, to hold dear…which is sweet. Not exactly African or even relevant but I like the name none the less.

    Thanks everyone for their help and suggestions. We're picking Miah up today at 11am - very exciting!! I'm sure we'll have some pictures of her up on the net very soon.

    Yeah, I had the same situation… I wanted to give her an african name, but I am Italian and my husband fell in love with the name "Bella Bambino Biamondi" and since she was a gift from him...
    So, here is the meaning: Beautiful Baby BOY!!! :eek: Okay... I ooopsed:rolleyes: My Italian language knowledge is obviously lacking. She should have been Bella BAMBINA (the "A" makes it feminine)! LOL:D But the papers were already done!!! Oh well...;) Oh, and Biamondi was a family name before we came from Sicily.
    I absolutely adore the name Miah, and she is just as adorable as her name!

  • Okay, once again… I got started on an older post!!! Duh:confused:

    I used Orijen for a few months. Our boy seemed to like it, but sometimes he would skip a meal. But then we switched to Nature's Variety and he seems to like it even better, hasn't missed a meal in over a year! Both great dog foods though!

    LOL when we were getting Sayblee, Leora had me on the net and we came up with 100 potential names. I picked my top ten and she crossed them all off. (she was about 9 at the time) She picked Sayblee. So Sayblee became my dog but I insisted on naming the next one, hence Arwen. But it turned out good since she doesn't yodel, but gives a very clear loud R a lot.

    Good luck to you…I really mean that. :) One more thought on this... The most important people in my life are not just "yes men"...they can see when my judgment is clouded by emotion. We might not like what people have to say, but if you step back and look at comments objectively, you'll see that they are meant to help and to give a reality check. The senior members on this forum have HUGE EXPERIENCE...they have great advice, even if it hasn't always been what I've wanted to hear. Please...please...read lvoss' post and then read it again. To me, that is the clearest explanation as to what the danger is by rushing in.
