I've got a good name for it. Ddong-chim! That way when he inevitably shoves his nose into your crotch you can say NO DDONG CHIM, NO!

I like Tae Poong. 태풍
A Korean friend had a pair named 노마 and 녀나.
Always turned heads when calling them at the park.

예쁘니 .. three syllables, but simple. And "cute" in a grating fingernails on a chalkboard kind of way.
Gotta do the high-pitch 'Yeeee P'Neeee~!'
Razz

My dog was Mickey. (of Mickey and Mallory Knox fame.) 미끼 = bait??

We had a black and brown guinea pig we called B*B.
Not sure there's any Korean meaning or significance there, tho.

A Korean name for a puppy? Call it 'Gae Sekki'.

Just think: you can go out in the street and yell "Gae Sekki!!! Gae Sekkiya! Gae Sekki odiya?"

I had a shar pei. His name was jjuguli (Wrinkles). But if the puppy doesn't haven't wrinkles, that's not a good fit...

She's not particularly wrinkly, but she is super cute. She also shares my birthday!

If anyone needs some inspiration, here she is:



Should be getting her around the first of January! Smile

I'm bumping this because I'm getting her this Sunday (much sooner than expected).

My parents and I have 3 we like so far:

- Nabi
- Bokhi (means luck and happiness apparently)
- Peppero (my parents thought it sounded cute)

Any other brilliant ideas out there?

I still like Peppero best. Wink
If I had a pet with that name, it would end up being called Pepe or Pepperoni or Peps... the affectionate variations are endless.

I had a black mutt once called Pepper. The GF started calling him Peppero, so I started calling him Pepperoni. He's no longer with us. (but boy did he taste good!)

If you do name him Peppero, make sure you teach your parents the correct pronunciation. It's not (despite what 95% of nitwitted whiteys think) pronounced "pepper-roh", it's 빼빼로. 빼빼, damn it. Not "pepper", 빼빼! Thin! Long! Sexy! Like Korean girls' legs!

(jeez, Kermo. Stop scanning my brainwaves. Confused I had this all typed out minutes before you posted, but I went to get some coffee, came back, finished the last lines, submitted, then found I'd been brainscanned.)
