I've been looking all over the web, seems to be the same 60 names. Using i is proving quite difficult!
How about replacing another vowel with i, example Enzo-Inzo?

- Tell us about yourself: DS and Mal foster newly approved aug'12 by NADSR and ABMCR. high-functioning Autistic in nyc/hamptons in my 60's. Rescued the smartest dog i had ever seen off nyc street in 2000. Tracedog's intelligence exceeded by multiples my judgement that day. My first [and only as of 10/2012] dog turned out to be a DS, perhaps with a touch of something else, but attention to detail, behavioral traits, and physical habits, movement, and skill identical to DS. But MUCH more intellectual ability. supremely confident in all settings, fearless, very outgoing and social with people and friendly with dogs. Seldom apart in over 12 years, Trace Dog was the most important relationship of my adult life; he was my partner. He died july17,2012. i am dying without him. www.youtube.com/tracesobaka www.dogster.com/dogs/637612

Re: The name game!
ok, i will give it a try - boy i-names that seem correct for a DS:
in Hindu:
Isha - one who protects [ the hindu equiv of Xander ] [ ! with soft i ]
Ira - watchful
Indra - god of thunder [ !!!] [NN - Ra]
in Hebrew:
Isaac - the laughing one
Ike - he will laugh
in Latin:
Ignatius - fiery [ !!! ] [ NN - Nate ]
Ignacio - lively one
Archer with various twists:
Ivar - an archer who happens to be a Norse god [!!!] [ NN - VAR ]
Ivor - an archer and Norse Lord [ also Welsh ]
Iver - archer - Scandian
Ives - archer - english
in various Nordic languages:
Igor - hero in Norse
Imre - great king in German
Ingo - a male leader - Scandia
Ingram - hero, raven -------- [ if DS was blackish, i would choose this one for density of the double meanings - as Raven is such a loaded name and idea! - and various possible nicknames NN - like Ram, Rami, Ing ]
so my top choices are marked by [!!!] and would depend on dog, call comfort, and flex of nicknames - some of which i have shown as [ NN ]: Ingram [ Gram, Ram, Ra], Ignatius [ Nate ], Ivar, Indra [ Ray or Ra ]
hope this helps.

Re: The name game!
You might look into foreign languages pronunciations of I or I with other letters (Celtic IO=YO). Also words that describe your dog, using an I word for the first one can be made into an acronym name. Two I found are -
Impulse Excitation Technique and Integrated Energy Therapy. IET - (Ee yet). These are actual company names, but they both could describe a DS.

Re: The name game!
Ivar doesn't sound bad using Var...easy call and very different!
I see In French they like to use I' in front of words. Would that be pronounced like iPod, I'Pod or possibly silent? That can really open the door for names then

Re: The name game!
It's silent. In France, the first letter of the name corresponds to the year they were born, rather than something with the breeder, so people add it to identify. My friends Belgian malinois is named H'Moto but she just calls him Moto.Illegal Regal wrote:Ivar doesn't sound bad using Var...easy call and very different!
