I am only a few days away from finalizing an adoption of a very sweet 1 year old dark chocolate/white female pit bull. Her current name is Lady, but I would like to change it. I'd like it to match her sweet but playful personality (she's active but not hyper, and LOVES all people, dogs, and even cats!) I took my own advice and thought of book/movie/etc. characters, but I realized that it's easier for me to pick male names than female names. So, please- help me pick a name that fits her! 🙂 I had some ideas, but none fit her quite right. Here are a couple pictures:

THANKS!
 
She's cute!!!! Congrats! I love the coloring on her face. Kinda looks like she's wearing a mask almost.

Maybe Batgirl? 😀

The only other names that come to my mind are Sophie or Cee Cee. I prefer names that end in an "ee" sound.
 
she's adorable.

Looks like 'Karma' to me
 
Belle? As in Beauty and the Beast. I'm a character name fan as well!
 
Sweet but sassy: Esmeralda (from Hunchback), call her Ezzy! Unique too 🙂

Also I like Java because of her coloring. Beautiful girl!
 
I can't think of anything...but she is BEAUTIFUL! 🙂
(which I'm sure you knew, but I thought I'd share)
 
OK in keeping with the disney characater name theme, the look on her face in the close up makes me think of Lilo.
 
Godiva (as in chocolate along with the lady reference)
 
I showed my boyfriend because he is way more creative then me. He saw her picture and said, "what kind of dog is she?" I said, "pitbull." He paused and then said, "PITricia!" Lol. Maybe you had to be there 🙂
 
Or VICKtoria - yea a nice stab at mike vick I think ;-)
 
Satin? She looks so soft. Or if you like Moulin Rouge you could go with Satine.

LLIPY, I liked your boyfriend's joke 🙂
 
Bunnity he will appreciate that! Haha. Let's see I'm watching sopranos now...Meadow is pretty?
 
I have to vote for Kira since that's my puppy's name 🙂 ,
but I also really liked Sophie (somebody suggested that further up),
and I wanted to add one too:

Leila
 
Leila? How about another rock song diva, then?

Rrrrrroxanne...

Actually, I like Roxanne. My joke backfired!

Book/movie characters, huh... Hermione? Lol. Uhh, Arwen? Wait, my nerd is showing again. Dang.
 
Sooo cute! Hmmm her name is Lady...Lady Gaga! Had to throw that one in, love that poker face song😛

Also I like Java because of her coloring. Beautiful girl!

Ooooh I like Java...I'm addicted to coffee so maybe that has somethg to do w/ it😉 ...Java Bean or just Bean!

I like Kira too!
 
She strikes me as an Ava (or you can spell it Avah)

Meanings:

Breath of life - Old English
Bird Like - Latin
Heaven or sky - West African

I kind of like the name Lilo as well! Or she looks like she could be Lily or Jenna. Just my two cents! 😀
 
I second Roxanne. Also because you can call her Roxy, and I she was one of my favorite characters on Dead Like Me.
 
Satine's a cool name, and I think Kira's cute as well. Others that sprang to mind: Justice or Justine, Opal, Maude, Serena.

Good luck with your new family member! 🙂
 
Can't think of anything, but she's super cute!
 
Thanks for the responses! 😀

I like several names. I'm going to make a final decision tonight, after talking it over with my sister and mom.
 
Chanel might fit her as well. her color is lovely
 
Kermit

for some reason pit bulls when they smile always remind me of a cute little froggy
 
Wow, what a beautiful dog! I think Java sounds like a good name, too. Be sure to post more pictures once you get her home!
 
Alright! Well, I have to say thank you to everyone who made suggestions. I liked the names Kira and Java, as well as some others, but in the end we decided on my boyfriend's suggestion: Yumi (it means "a fulfilled dream", which is true!). Haha. I think it's cute. Hopefully you aren't too disappointed that I didn't pick anything on here. But I took your suggestions to heart. Thanks again! <333

Also, I will definitely post up updated pictures of her in her new home. 🙂 Thanks for the kind comments about my gorgeous girl.
