I want to give my new male puppy a symbolic name in a foreign
language.  I do not know what foreign language, because that is only
of tertiary concern to me.  My primary criterion for the name is  that
it adequately convey the concept of "one who bears an auspicious
mark".  Secondly, the sound of the word must be appealing and suitable
for a male dog (one word, no more than three syllables, fairly easy to
pronounce).  I would like you to provide me with up to ten selections
for this name in any language of your choosing.  When the alphabet of
the language is anything other than
Roman letters, then please provide the Roman transliteration of the
foreign word.

Don't know if you've named your dog yet...

I'm an American living/working in Tokyo.  Since you mentioned "bears
an auspicious mark", I interpreted that to mean successful or perhaps
prosperous.

The Japanese kanji for "prosperous" is "Sakaru" which seems to fit your criteria.

Let me know what you eventually pick...even if it's not that name.

Regards,

Herkdrvr

With respect for hungry GAResearchers, whom I expected to leap on this
question,  I just filed the names that occurred to me.  (What kid has
a $40 dollar name?)

Felix           Latin =  happy
Maximus         Latin =  greatest one
Fortunus        Latin =  lucky, auspicious one (maybe that should be Fortunatus)
Theodore        Greek-Latin  = Gift of god (always auspicious)
Dux             Latin  =  duke, leader

I think that a dog's name should start with a consonant, allowing it
to be spoken in a commanding form.

Bonaparte       French/Sardinian (?), I don't know what it means, but it sounds 
                like a "good piece/portion" which seems auspicious.

Bonchance       French (probably not, really)  = good luck
