osiol 55 | 3921 28 Apr 2008 #7TaraI 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.
Bartolome 2 | 1083 29 Apr 2008 #9Our dogs were named as follows: Cezar, Reksio, Kola, Paco, and the current one is called Polo.

Wroclaw Boy 2 May 2008 #12some common names for Polish bitchesDo you have anything ending in anything other than an A?
El Gato 4 | 351 2 May 2008 #13Azor 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.:]

OP Polonius3 980 | 12276 18 May 2008 #20As 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.
ulinski 2 Jul 2008 #21No, 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?
Guest 2 Jul 2008 #22Kropka 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"
VaFunkoolo 6 | 654 2 Jul 2008 #23Some people might perceive kupka as being mysteriously close to kropka.
Guest 2 Jul 2008 #24Have you ever heard how Poles pronounce the ‘r’?, it’s impossible to mistake the two ever.
Tamara 9 | 202 2 Jul 2008 #25I 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.
mzh140 13 Oct 2009 #26I'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 15 Oct 2009 #27Basia is Polish, but Basha is spelled incorrectly, and it's a name deriving from Barbara.Bezimienna - namelessBezdomna - homeless
a Pole 3 Jan 2010 #30My friends had female dogs named as follow:Fifi,Kropka (meaning 'a small dot'),Aza,Amica (Latin for a 'female friend')
