My friend has a dog in poland called Gaja... I like this name!

Tara

I used to have a dog with this name. She wasn't Polish and neither am I. Nor was the previous owner who gave her this name.

Not a bad name for a dog. It's not Biblical, is it?

For some time, I've wondered how Polish dogs deal with the large number of different forms of their own name.

some common names for Polish bitches

Do you have anything ending in anything other than an A?

Azor was my mother's dog, Czarek my father's.

Azor was half Polish sheep dog and half wolf.

Czarek was half wolf and half german shepherd.

Our current dog is named Kasia. She's a fat little beagle that loves chasing moles.

My cosuin has a bull mastiff named Diesel, but his father calls him Pikuś. Before that they had a female pitbull named Jasmin that he called Biała because she was pure white. (He refuses to call them by American names. He's a fun guy, Uncle Olek. :] )

My aunt Janina has a half pitbull/half german shepherd named Oreo because of the coloring, and a pocket chihuahua named Paco.

:]

You can call your bitch 'Herman' if you like.

No. If it's a bitch, you just give her your mother-in-law's name.

I want to give my new puppy (a girl) a name in Polish and am considering the following (mostly because in English they seem to be easy to pronounce and read). Having only looked these up in a translator (or found here), I don't know the language real well. Any feeback or input??

Beza or buziak
Mały Duszek (little brownie)
Dobry
Kocham
kochanie or kochany?
misiaczek or misia
szalona

What about "pies" that means "dog" in Polish ;)

Thanks, Pink! Can you tell me how that is pronounced?

Can anyone tell me if there are meanings or American/English translations for any of the names listed above for female dogs?

As far as I know, all Polish bitch names end in -a. But there's no reason why you couldn't blaze a new trail and give your female dog a male name or anything else for that matter.

No, since nearly all Poles are Catholic and all Catholics have biblical names given to them. Jewish Poles also have biblical names.

Kropka is a word mysteriously close to the word for Poop in Polish. Tak?

No not even close, what you're thinking of is "Kupka" that's not close to "Kropka"

Some people might perceive kupka as being mysteriously close to kropka.

Have you ever heard how Poles pronounce the ‘r’?, it’s impossible to mistake the two ever.

I used to have a dog with this name.

The first dog I had with my husband we named Tara - after what was for me a real education into the art of naming a dog in Polish. It was a "she" and she was mostly black but we couldn't name "her" blackie, midnight, smoke, or any of the other names that people might name a black dog - oh no because it was a "she", it had to have a vowel at the end of it's name! We finally decided on Tara as "tar" is black and it ends in an "A" - Hurrah! Our new dog, which I actually went to Poland to get is named "Bella". That's her pic when she was just a pup.

I'd like to find a name for a female dog that means 'little stranger' or 'nameless' or 'little stray' or 'no-name' or something like that. Somebody told me Basha, but then I also heard that isn't Polish. Can anyone help?
krysia  23 | 3058

Basia is Polish, but Basha is spelled incorrectly, and it's a name deriving from Barbara.
Bezimienna - nameless
Bezdomna - homeless
