My hubby wants her name to have something to do with surviving the odds...We picked her up for Kuvasz rescue & were almost immediate foster failures...lol ...She was underweight & at a shelter with outdoor dog kennels...I would bet the farm she was abused & kept outside...We love her & she needs a name that is fitting of her...She is our little peacekeeper where Samson & Pippin are concerned & every bit a lady...Any ideas?
-

ADA - Prosperous and joyful.
Adina - Hebrew - Lovely. She's the most beautiful girl dog you've ever seen
Adoria - Latin - Has adorable qualities. You can't help but fall in love with this girl dog.

BELLE French for "beautiful."
Bliss - This girl dog provides you with priceless joy and happiness.
Bridget - Irish - One who is strong.

Such great suggestions!!...I actually called my hubby & woke him up to run a few of my favorite by him...He was not amused...lol!...Keep 'em comin' guys!...He'll be home tomorrow with a full nights sleep!! :)

I like Noel, and I'm partial to Scout. That's one of my favorite names; I named a foster dog that earlier this year.
-
Rovivrus? (Survivor backwards and Rovi for short?)
Look for historical figures that beat the odds, maybe one from your background? Or do survivor (Or something similar) with a dictionary from your favorite language.
-
I like Hope & Trinity!
-
I love Astrid and Anastasia.
How about Diana - she was the goddess of war (battles?) (that's also my Mom's name, so I'm kinda partial)
Helen (of Troy?)
And best of all... Jeanne - heck! If I haven't overcome battles lately, who has????
I mean, besides Jenn, Nicki, Sherry, and about 20 other people on this site!

Chelle,
We need her picture here for further inspiration...
Deena
-
Hmmm... I like Fortune a lot! (Or Fortuna?)
I always end up naming my animals after movie characters (or muppet characters) that I like, maybe who have a similar personality.
For example this is a not-well-known fact... I named Nigel after the character Nigel Tufnel in the movie "This is Spinal Tap" because frankly, he is a rather goofy unintelligent character... like my sweet Nigel. :D
So if I had a beautiful new white female... I would name her "Amalthea" from the movie The Last Unicorn, a magical and beautiful white creature.
That's just always the way my animals get named!!! ;D

Is the dog pictured the one you're looking to name? Noel is a pretty name. To me it is definately associated with overcoming hardship. The spokesdog for the rescue group that I work for is named Noel becaus she was found around christmastime amlost beated to death and her ears cut off. She is a wonderful dog with a sad story. I can share more later and post some pics if you like...
names I like...
Liberty - associated with freedom...your new baby (I've failed fostering too) is starting a new life with you...a new freedom..and if your patriotic...th er you're set
Lenci - a Kuvasz is hungarian right? - This is a Hungarian name meaning Light
Asa - the morning - a new day..a new life for a new dog
Bela - mean the white one..another Hungarian name
Just a few suggestins from me...good luck...
-
I like Almathea, too! Would it be too hard to say all the time? Maybe Alma for short?
I still like Astrid quite a bit, and Noelle is just too pretty.
