So names, I am taking suggestions for a little girl...
I have been through a lot of names but nothing really jumps out at me, so I am taking ideas. Ones I have come up with though are:
1. Mitsune - this one comes from an anime I watched but the pronounced the name wrong and it sounded like Mitsune and i liked it.
2. Kitsune- while trying to see if Mitsune is actually a name I found this which in the fox demon thing.
I am leaning towards one though, anything cool I might change my mind.

Which Nihon Ken are you getting?
Here's a link Shigeru shared a while ago

Kitsune is pretty, but i agree, it is common.
I already went through the blog thing like yesterday, nothing jumped out at me. like *pick me* I tried looking at names but there were all like bright child, some flower or something else child.
I also tried googling random words like dragon, teeth, walrus, bear, and firecracker which is Hanabi.
If you don't know what your puppy looks like, then let the name be an omen. What kind of personality do you hope your puppy will have? Maybe something like Shiawase 幸せ (shee-ah-wah-say), meaning "happiness" or "good fortune/luck," abbreviated Shia, would be cute?
It'll come to you. If you like the ending "tsune" or just "ne" there's a couple of names that ended with that.
I have been trying to get someone to name their pet or baby Sputnik (Nik or Nikki for short), so there you go.
I'm not attached to any particular sounds, just want 2 or 3 syllables. I won't called her mitsu for short because my bf my call her miso soup to irritate me.
might start looking at things like happy or luck though, positive stuff maybe some english names i like in japanese like stormy.
Aki
Amaya
Emi
Jun
Kimi (lol cause it's my sister's name really)
Mana
Mari
Michi
Rika
Sora
Sumi
Suri (Almost Mika's name)
Yumi
I tried to leave out dogs on the forum, but I have no clue what all the Shiba's names are)
My mom chose Mika's name from a list. She was not thrilled about me getting another dog. When she looked at the list and chose a name, I knew she'd be hooked. Now Mika goes everywhere with her when I'm at work. She's even volunteering at a hospice store today with my mom. It's too cute.
stormy is arashi.
1.mitsune
2.sayuri
3.rika
4. suri
5. arashi
hmm...
I like Rika too. Maybe once you get your pup the name will come to you.
I was dead set on Saya for my first NK name.. lol
I sometimes call her Sai for short.
On a side note i might need to order another pet bed.... Shadi seems to think the puppy's bed is for her.
As for names, I really like Sayuri and Mitsune.
-Sumire
-Majutsu
-A'ela
-Abita
-Juco
These are the 5 names I am looking at for my next puppy (female japanese akita) Soooo if you use one, you need to let me know, loll
The problem I have with Sumire is that the general american public isn't going to know how to pronounce it correctly, whereas Majutsu is pronounced exactly as it looks, albeit weird to the average person who knows nothing of japanese. Part of me wants a japanese name for a japanese dog to make homage to the pup's origins.
The other part of me says I am american, so A'ela and Abita seem befitting.
And Juco... well, that is just the first two letters of Julia Cooper, my name. Thought it sounded tight.
@hondru I love Science for a name!!!
Momo or Momoko is also nice (peach).
It's also the name of a boy band in Japan.
I like that idea^^ So now i need to pick between Sayuri and Mitsune.
I forgot what island she said she was from, but she said it was right next to shikoku.
