I introduced you to our new dog on "Wednesday... What the..." but there is a new development. We as a family (or Mark and I) have decided that we hate the name Missy. She's a good dog and all, but that name is crap... unless your dog is named Missy and then its pretty good. But, it doesn't fit this arctic giant, so we want a new one. We have failed miserably as a family to come up with a name, so I am going to leave it in your capable hands. Keep in mind that Frosty, Snowball and Blizzard have all been vetoed already.
I am going to leave this post until Monday, and ask that you give us any name suggestions in the comments. The name that becomes my family's favorite will be the winner and will get a $15 (cuz I am poor, ok...) Amazon gift certificate. I will ask for your email when you are notified of winning and send you the gift certificate via email. In the event of a tie, we will post our two favorites on Monday and let the readers vote. For you readers who read but don't comment, I am asking you to step up for the good of my dog and click that comment button!So, send me your suggestions, please! This is a major SOS moment as I cannot yell "come here, Missy" at an 80 pound snowbeast anymore!!!

My choice is Bella. Bella is Italian for beautiful!
I have a few suggestions...and I won't even accept the giftcard. Just your undying thanks will be fine:
Tiny
Polar
marshmallo
suzanne (for obvious reasons)
I do like bella too. and kitty. very cute.
good luck.
How about?
Sheba
or
Zena
or
Sugar

I'll take Busy Bee's gift card. If that doesn't work, then I'll just try and come up with something myself this weekend.
I've always wanted to name a dog "Ditka" or "Butkus," but I'm sure you won't allow that. It could be your only chance at me liking the dog though. Think on that.
Esben's thought was Bulle (pronounced bool-a) which is danish and the first thing he said when i asked him what a big white dog should be named.
My thought would be Skat (which is danish for baby or a loving term to someone) or smukke (pronounced smuk-a) which means beautiful in danish.
or IKEA (sorry the word only brings a smile to my face), Amsterdam, River, Madchen or Elle
We just thought we give you some foreign options. and if you pick one of those names, we wouldnt take the money either-- finding out what you pick will be fun enough.

Quinn suggested Madison or Polly
I see her as a Sandy! Like the sandy white beaches!!! I could let you borrow one of the many names I call my dog (and she responds to, Lori will vouch for that). BooBoo, Piddles, Snapper, Snap.com, Skittles, Snoopy and the all time favorite...feesaheetabetabeteeteefeskadeedaboop!! Those are just a few of the many!
I am just throwing Will's recent offering into the mix. He says Ice Cream Sundae. I am not sure we want a three word name, but Sundae may go into the pool (especially since I vetoed Max and Ruby... and I don't mean Max or Ruby... I mean he wants her named Maxandruby). And he also suggests Missy quite a bit. He's special, shut up.
I believe that there are very few likeable female names, so I went with several gender neutral choices...enjoy:
Nugget
Roo
Ripken
Rock
Jaws
Boo
Atticus
Finch
Gizmo
Bailey
Bear
Spike
Bandit
Ivy
Brooklyn
Madison
Poppy
Quinn is also willing to give up his suggestion for the baby's name....
Hampster Polarbear
I like ISABELLA...you could call her Bella...CHARLOTTE is frenchy too.
Also I had a friend with a white dog named CHARMIN...fluffy and white!
BLANCHE is also french for white.
CLOUD for obvious reasons.
And then there is plain old LUCKY...which she is because you adopted her!
or Isabelle
Sorry...last one. BABY
Ok, Laura has too much time on her hands...does Dr. James know she's coming up with names instead of playing receptionist?
Here are my choices, an ode to Sesame Street...
Snufflupugus
Elmo
Grover
Oscar
Abby Cadabby
Cyrus
Alice Braithwaite Goodyshoes
Margarita
Zoey
Smart Suzie Sunset
Curly Bear
Dorothy (Elmo's Goldfish)
Frazzle
Grundgeta Grouch (Oscar's Girlfriend)
Lulu
Mama Bear
Rosita
Snow White
And YES, I want my gift certificate!
Mango likes the name "Lexie"
Momo likes the name "Yuki" (pronounced like pookie with a y and it means snow in Japanese)
FYI... Here are a few that were emailed in to me.
My cousin Heidi offered Blanco (white in spanish).
My Aunt Patti offered Coconut because all of her dogs end up crazy.
My friend Nicole said that night that she likes Arctic Blast, and we would call her Abby (for AB).
I'm voting for Charmin, but I'm throwing some names out there any way.
In honor of Will and Ice Cream Sundae, I still say go with Soft Serve...
Whitey McFluffkins
Fluffers
Jackpot Swashbuckler
I'm sure you'll pick one of those, I mean, seriously, why wouldn't you? After all, an Amazon gift card for me means books you can borrow, so it's really a gift to yourself.
I also wanted to add that in high school I dated a guy named Mike. He had a best friend named Jay. My dad became friends with them (my parents still receive Christmas cards...), and would work on cars with them. He always talked about them to one of his friends who had never met them "Mike and Jay came over and helped me do this or that", etc. One day, my dad's friend met them and was confused...he thought it was one person and their name was Mikeandjay.
