need a name for a pup
I am about to foster a chihuahua pup rescued from a puppy mill. I am looking for a special name for him in Spanish. Something to do with rescued, scared, loved, special and of course being a dog.

It was just a senseless joke to lighten up the mood a little. On the other hand, as I suggested, using higher pitched names for dogs is a good idea. I saw that on some "animal" show.
Anne suggested Benito, which would be good. After Benito Júarez, which is a city in Chihuahua, Mex
jejejej, I had to read that three times, zoltán, I am sooooo thick!
taco bel...very ingenious. funny guy!
How about: Lázaro?
you know, like the one who walked ......
I got this idea from a friend: there was a poor kitty, he was very sick, dad called him "Lázaro"
P para perro'
If it is a boy name him Taco, girl name her Belle. NOW, please disregard my lame attempt at funny.
Regardless of the meaning of the name, select one that has one or two "i" in it. Dogs listen to higher pitched sound more readily. Don't give a stupid name Rosco, what my daughter gave our dog.
There are many Spanish names (many from Germanic origin) meaning "valiant", but if you want a typical name meaning "valiant" and "man-like", what about "andrés" (Greek origin)?
Another alternative: "Leonardo" (strong lion, brave). I've got a cousin named like this.
"Felicio" means "lucky", but I don't personally like this name. If you fancy a Quechua name, why not "Atahualpa" (lucky bird)'
My wife named our (English) cat "Pepe" (José), actually.
My pets have "normal" names as well, like Jack and Sally. This little one was rescued from such horrible conditions and now will be adopted out to a loving home. I guess I was looking for a more meaningful name. Something in Spanish to indicate his heritage but a name that shows what a brave and lucky dog he is.
Lynn,
Como sobre benito? (benny for short')
Annie.
Same here in England.
I don't know about other people, but my family tends to give our dogs and cats normal names, like "Jose", or "M.ª Antonia".
