What's in a name?

My friend H has a new puppy; a groodle which is a mix of golden retriever and poodle.


I think she looks cute. The puppy's name is Maili. You have a choice regarding the meaning of the name depending on which origin you prefer. There are Irish, Polynesian and Hebrew origins. From Polynesian roots the meaning is gentle breeze. From Hebrew the meaning is sea of bitterness or rebelliousness. From Gaelic the meaning is pearl. The name is a variant of both Molly and Mary.

    Better skip the Hebrew meaning. Pups are so cute.

      Yes Dora, the alphabet is your oyster, so to speak, when naming animals and babies.
