Mieke is an adorable name! I'd just be concerned about the simular "M" sounding name...could get confusing for the pups?! ~Kristin

puppy confused ?

Thanks Kristen- this may be my way out of naming the puppy after my boyfriend. Could the puppy really get confused if they both have M names????
 
Yeah, similar sounding names can cause confusion. We tried to name all three of our animals somethign with different sounds at the front and back: Chloe, Ty, and Sam (though Ty is usually called Ty-Bo and Sam ends up as either Sam or Sammy).

I think Meike is cute though!

We named Sam after my husband Sean - SAM are his initials.

I have to agree with the confusion part with 2 M names...and I speak from experience. We named our first 4 dogs Molly, Bear, Sugar and Gus, all of which are very distinct. Then we named girl #5 Maggie. Now when we say Molly or Maggie, both girls look up. They quickly figure out which one we're talking to by seeing which one we're looking at, but still I wish we had thought about that...

I'd go with something that sounded very different than Maggie. There's my 2 cents ;)

thanks now how do I break it to the boyfriend- who is really set
on the name " Meike " which has grown on me. It really sounds too much like "Maggie".
I am thinking of the name "Cinco" since I have 3 skin kids, Maggie and this puppy will make 5.
I think "Kitty " is funny- but Maggie will go nuts!

Thats a cute name! We get our new puppy in two weeks and counting, we're naming him Harley. Good luck with your new puppy!

Harley was the name we had picked out for Maggie when we thought she was a he for 3 days. Really really bad BYB and dumb me for not looking. It was a big laugh though!!!!
