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 |
