Dogs' names in Israel? (cross post)
ejlin
I'll soon be able to get a puppy and would like to know what some of the
common and more unusual names that people give to their dogs in Israel.
I am interested specifically in male names.
I was actually thinking of naming a dog "kelev". To me it sounds very
cute, but I know it probably sounds very strange to Israelis to name a dog
"Dog"!
I gave my African Grey parrot a Hebrew name: Avital. She sounds very
sweet when she says her own name. She practically sings it!
So, if you can let me know of some names for dogs in Israel (male), I'd be
ever so grateful.
Thanks,
Ellen

Don't know much about Israeli dog names, but do be careful to keep the
parrot protected from the dog.

It seems strange to me, too, but I've known two dogs named "Kelev" here in
the US. Both males, both very sweet (but large).

My friends in the Berkshires called their dog "Nokaid" since
he's a
sheep-herding dog.

My dog in Israeli high school was "Moondoggie." My roommate used to call him
Sarusi, not because the dog was fixed, but because he hated a schoolmate
whose name was Sarusi. A reservist in the IDF used to bring his dog named
"Biederman" with him. Asked him about the name, said it was his neighbor's
name.
Why not call him "Bo heyna?" Means "Come here."
Or Kelev Ben Yefuneh? ( Caleb.)
People name their dogs anything: Tzahi, Igor, Pootzie.

My Irish Setter was named Kelev Adom because he indeed was a
red dog. But everyone assumed it was Kelly because he was
Irish. :-)

even there it is no worse than Tarzan naming his ?son "Boy".
If you want the dog to say his name like the parrot does, you could
name him arrrff. How does one say aarrrff in Hebrew?
Why does it say cross post in the subject?
(Ellen seems quite placid to me.)

Then there are all the Chasidish kids named Kim (after Korean presidents?):
Kim Sean, Kim Aheir, etc.

If I can offer two comments here.... "Kim" is a surname in Korea and not a
first name. Also, it is by far the most common of their surnames, comprising
almost 20% of the population there.

Hav (or, more commonly, hav hav).
We used to have a rabbit named Redford. And I had a student
with a ferret names Fawcett.
One of my daughters bred and raised cockatiels, and wanted to
name one of them Levi Yitzchak (the Birditchever); my wife
vetoed the suggestion as sacrilegious.

My cats are named in egregious puns off of obscure Irish
revolutionaries. So far, we have Michael Claw-ins and Patrick Purrs.
My dog was named before I got her, but if I get another I will
probably continue the trend by naming it (depending on sex) either
Constance Barkiewicz or Seamus Kennel-ly.

ROTFL !!
Only in Israel can the leading brand of dog food be called DOGLI.
And now, for the $64,000 question: what is the leading Israeli brand
of cat food ?? CATLI !

When I was a kid, I knew someone who had a German Shepherd named Barak
("lightning"). Of course, as a kid, I thought it was "bark," which actually
the dog did a lot. <grin>
A friend of mine now has female Shepherds named Bubbeleh and Liebeleh (Bubbie
and Lieby for short).
I was thinking about getting a ferret at one time, and I was threatening to
name him Ti (Ti Ferret. Ha ha ha. OK, so it's not that funny.)
