"the Ky baby"
simply the cutest dog there ever was... : )
She answers to anything attached to Ky-
"Cutie-Ky"
"Ky-baby"
"Ky-of-the-fur-a-lots" (who knows?)
"the Ky"
Poor dog... I hope we don't do this to our child.

Naming is such a crucial part of parenting...you need to stay away from names like Beulah or Gladys...they are nice names for grandmothers, but they are antiquated. Stay away from Hester (it rhymes with molester), sexually ambiguous names (Pat, Lynn, Tracy, etc.), and annoyingly cheerleaderish names (Tiffany, Brittany, or Lindsay). All of these are nice names, but they all have their problems (playground taunting, sexual identity, and overabundance, for instance). Make the name mean something to you, your family, or your heritage. Aloiya's name came from the play A Raisin in the Sun. I love literature, this is a powerful piece of literature, and the African meaning of the name is "one who requires more than merely food and water to survive." Her middle name, though not rare, is Rae. These are my grandmother's initials...she died before she found out Aloiya was on the way, so it is a nod to her. So think about that name. It stays with the child for the rest of her life, so make it pleasing to the ear, thoughtful to the mind, and warming to the heart.
I'm slightly offended- Beulah was my top choice! (but your last sentiment makes up for any scar you may have caused) If I've never told you, I think Aloiya is a beautiful name - I do anticipate and hope Andrew and I pick something with just as much meaning and thought put behind it... I also anticipate it being another 4month process for both of us to come to an agreement on one name.
Rick-
re-trainging the dog to have to answer to a new name would be awfully difficult... and besides, I don't think cutie-ricki, or ricki-of-the-fur-a-lots sounds as good! : ) (lol)
oh rick... : )
In the interest of family harmony, I wouldn't suggest anything that ends with -ky, such as Becky or Vicky. The dog will no doubt be confused enough!
