Question by reeseycup04: Needing a puppy name!?
I am getting an Alaskan Malamute and I need some suggestions. I like different names like.. Lakota, Nanook, Kita, Salix, Shaman.. usually anything Native american sounding or German.. I just want a really cool name for this guy! Oh yeah.. He is a boy and really light in color. Hmm maybe something that means something cool or spiritual.. bah.. I am at a loss!!! I cant use the above names because friends already have.. LOL
I have searched various sites and they are just poop! Just wanted to know if anyone had anything cool off the top of their heads~~
