What about Sophia? or Carmelita? or Filomena? or Francesca? or Betty (just kidding)

I like Francesca the best, but it doesn't really sound like a dog name to me. Oh well, thought I would give you my contribution.

Logan says her name should be Wag-Wag Lemma-lemma-lemma(the sound of a dog licking you).

"Yeah, that's what her name is. Now when are we going to her house?"

How about d-o-g. If you say it real slow it sounds italian!!! Kinda like Dioggi!!!

Sadie, you're a woman after my husband's own heart. We had a friend in college whose dog's name became that because Lynn called him "Dioggi" instead of its actual name which I cannot remember now.

'to' . Listen 'to' me. 'too'. Still 'too' early.

Sorry.

no name contributions but a question, did the cat that is as old as I am kick the bucket? I'm left out of the loop!

Bethie, my delicate little flower, yes, Theora did pass away about a month ago. Kick the bucket...sheesh.

Anke - Biscotti is cute, but seems more like a boy's name to me.

Faun - Isabella was my first thought when I saw her pictures the first time.

Beth Anne - You're still killing me with the kicking off... :P

Last comment before I arrive in DFW. I am pretty sure that Lemma lemma should be her name. Least contrived, least common, end of story.
Aunt Doot | 08.17.05 - 11:41 pm | #

Bella (beautiful in Italian) right now is the front-runner. But we could add the Lemma Lemma, making it Bella Lemma Lemma or maybe Lemma Lemma Bella. We are keeping track of all suggestions so keep them coming and we’ll let you know what we decide.

We're all about Lemma Lemma here. Whatever her name ends up being, to Logan she'll always be Wag-Wag Lemma Lemma Lemma. Seriously, I don't know what her parents' names are but they always have those jacked up names on the AKC papers. So she could totally be Bella Wag-Wag Lemma Lemma Lemma.

hmm.. i like the lemma lemma. what about Lemmabell?

I agree with the wierd AKC names and they never make any sense either.
faun | Homepage | 08.18.05 - 11:24 pm | #

Ooh, Lemmabell has a ring to it! If anything, this little puppy girl will have a ton of nicknames. tee hee.
