If we decide to register Ada with the American Kennel Club then we have to chose a long unique, and often silly, name.
Examples:
The only requirements are that it start with “Colina’s” and be no more than 36 characters. Here are a few we’ve thought up:
- Colina’s Princess Ada Banana
- Colina’s Itty Bitty Polar Bear
- Colina’s Lazy Little Lump
- Colina’s Señorita Pantalones Vellosos (too long, but means roughly Little Miss Fluffy Pants)
Suggestions?

How about
Colina’s You Can Get
We are the new owners of Moose, one of Ada’s litter mates and were inspired by your blog to write one also!
We like Princess Ada Banana for her name.
Elizabeth & Lewis: Very clever :) it took us quite a while to get that one.
We have two granddaughters, but Ada is our very first granddog. So, I have a few suggestions for her name:
The first thought was
Colina’s Saucy MarmalAda.
But then, there’s
Colina’s Wee Ada Meringue – or perhaps Ada Marshmallow.
Of course, there’s a certain appeal to
Colina’s Wee Hava Marshmallow (or Meringue).
But I think my final selection will have to be
Colina’s Wee MacPup Ada Macaroon.
It’s got the Mac, the Pup (Dan – can we say “pup” on this, or do you prefer “Pyoop”?), the Wee and oon (from her grampa Pan) and of course the macaroon – fluffy white with toasty bits.
PS – Grandad says “Wee” is spelled “Wii”.
Oh wait – maybe
Colina’s Princess Ada MacPuparoon…
