Dog names

I am still working on a nice name for a dog. For a bitch it will be Mindy (or Mindy Ohana). But I refuse to call a dog Mork, LOL!

One of the things I have been doing now, is searching for words that sound nice in foreign languages. Of course the word should have a meaning that has to be fitting to a Toller too... so I have been searching for the translations of the following words: red, orange, flash, fire, friend, sun, sunshine, fast, joy, sweet etc. The languages I have been looking at are Zulu, Hawaiian, Swahili and Finnish.

The words that I would like as names too sofar are:

Tamu (Swahili for sweet) - my fav at this moment
Tuli (Finnish for fire)


All of this is of course only in case we don't like the names that Nicole (our breeder) will give our puppy.

I like Tamu.

How about Bruce? ;)

I also still like Tamu. As to Bruce... hmm... it is not really a dog name to me ;-)

Yeah, Tamu is great. I think Bruce works but not for Tollers. It would be more of a German Shepherd name. ;)
