Neobliviscaris06 Posted November 16, 2006 Report Share Posted November 16, 2006 Hello a new guy on the board. I have a thread about the " runt" . While I have been waiting to find my BC I have been thinking about names for one and wanted to run it by the people on this board. What do you think of the name "Samain" which is Celtic for November ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RaisingRiver Posted November 16, 2006 Report Share Posted November 16, 2006 How do you pronounce that and would it be appropriate for a boy and/or girl? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allie+Tess&Kipp Posted November 16, 2006 Report Share Posted November 16, 2006 It is spelled Samhain and pronounced "Sow-ween" or "Sow-win." Allie + Tess & Kipp http://weebordercollie.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bordercentrics Posted November 16, 2006 Report Share Posted November 16, 2006 I think the pronunciation varies a bit depending on what part of Ireland you are from. My family is all from the rural West (County Kerry) where Irish speakers pronounce "S" as "Sh". Kathy Robbins Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kat's Dogs Posted November 16, 2006 Report Share Posted November 16, 2006 I think it is a cool name! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neobliviscaris06 Posted November 17, 2006 Author Report Share Posted November 17, 2006 Well if I cannot find a dog in November then I must change the name. I thought a Scottish dog woudl liek to have an ancient Celtic name....thanks for the replies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
k9arson Posted November 18, 2006 Report Share Posted November 18, 2006 Thats a great name!!! I like the idea of you having a Celtic name. I have always had short names for all my dogs. And got in the habit of shorting them up more like "Gypsy" had ended up to be "Gyp". Lets us know when you get a dog and the name you decided on.

Alicia Posted November 18, 2006 Report Share Posted November 18, 2006 My dogs both have nicknames they come to equally well lol Kole comes to "Boo Boo" or "Boo Bear" lol and Dally comes to "Dally Op" "Hush-Hush Pup" and "Hush-Hush"(because my parents dont yet know about her... ) She also comes to "Short Stack" and "Tulip" (She has a tulip marking on her side lol) My Cats even have nicknames lol Tango comes to "Tanquerey" "Tangorey" "Lil Tigress" "Cowgirl Up" and "Wild Thang" and Docee comes to "Demon Kitty" and "Lil Black Thang" Lol so I guess I tend to lengthen and.. change my pet's names lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
