The Three Letter F-Word

Fox.

It seems that many people name their shibas "Foxy" or something fox-related. (Heard a neighbor calling her golden-ish red, rather portly shiba - "Come here, Mr Fox") I've also encountered more than one Kitsune (though Jen's is the cutest. :) ) A few posts I've read have asked for name help, so I thought I post this to see if it inspires anyone. If you have another translation, add it. Let's see how many we end up with.

Renard – French
Zorro – Spanish
Fuchs – German
Volpe - Italian
Raposa - Portuguese
Soro – Filipino
Vos - Dutch
Tilki - Turkish
Räv – Swedish
Vulpes - Latin

    1/2 of the family still speaks German and mom suggested Fuchs when I got Beebe. I decided against it immediately because it sounds too much like the plural of fu*k. The other half of the fam-damily speaks Norwegian. I should have named Beebe their word.

    Norwegian - Rev

    The spelling is different, but in French, "reve" means a dream.

    In Portuguese, if it's a male, sometimes people call it raposo.
