HelpSo stuck for a girl puppy name!
I had such an ordeal picking my two daughters names that I seriously wanted a male dog just to use my fave males names lol. However we are getting a girl in 3 weeks and she is awesome, but I'm totally screwed for girls names.
She is a mastiff from Argentina. A large game hunter by design. Entirely white. Powerful, athletic, graceful, majestic and tranquil.
My DD's name's are Shea and Caoimhe.
I want to name her Pele after the amazingly athletic footballer (but he's Brazilian darn it!)
Her last name will be Milcayac due to the breeder.
Any thoughts?

Boudicca. You must. Your own little Boo. :0)

I like the spelling with two Cs. It looks more balanced. (ETA) But if you're not into Boudicca, other ideas to kick around:
Augusta (Gussie)
Edelweiss (if you're gutsy: Blanche Edelweiss, = white whiteflower)
Dulcinea (Dulcie)(sweet one)
Maxima / Maxentia (great one)
Fortunata
Andraste (Celtic goddess of victory. Boudicca prayed to her before battle)
Concordia
Benedicta (= blessing)
Griselda (= gray haired battle maiden)
Imelda (= all embracing battle maiden)
Valkyrie
Aoife (warrior princess in Irish folklore)
Olympia
Ursula
Bernadette (= little bear)
Esmeralda
Gwendolen (= white ring)
Baila (= white)("BAY-luh")
Honoria
Sulis Minerva (Celtic and Roman goddesses blended for the locals)("SOO-lis")
Aurelia (= golden)
Oona / Oonagh (because I'd love to see a huge white dog named Oonagh)(possibly means lamb)
Eirlys (= snowdrop)("EHR-lis")
Eira (= snow)
Thora
Semiramis
Zenobia / Zinovia (= life of Zeus)(3rd century warrior queen of Palmyra)
Bathsheba
Pandora
Gaïa (Mother Earth)

The dog won't care if she's named after a Brazilian and nobody else will either. It's a dog.
Pele is the Hawaiian goddess of volcanoes, for whatever it's worth.

I'm not concerned about what others think. (I live in Canada and named one daughter Caoimhe hahaha)
But I would know it's not quite right ;). The perils of a name nerd lol!!
