I am irish so if there is any specific word you would like to know then just ask and il do my best!
Reply:Madra = Irish word for "dog". (MOD-rah)





Cara = Irish word for "friend" (KAR-ah)





Conchobar = "Wolf lover" (CRUH- Hoor) -- "Connor" is a more easily pronounced modern version of this name.





Cu Chulainn = "Hound of Cullen" (Mythical name) - KOO KULL-ann





Setanta = Mythical name (Cu Chulainn's birth-name before he defeated the wolf) - Seh-TANT-ah





Aside from Cu Chulainn, another heroic name from Irish mythology is FINN MacCOOL - famous leader of warriors guarding the High King of Ireland at Tara. Pronounced as it's spelled.





Conan = "Little wolf" (KOH-nan)





Cuan = "Little hound" (Koo-AWN)





Madigan = "Little dog" (MAD-igg-an)





Cooey = "Hound of plains" (KOO-ee)





Bailey is a popular dog's name - from the Irish liquor, Baileys. Guiness is also used as a dogs name here....





To be more unusual, you could use a word like "Sonas" which means "Happiness" (SUNN-as), or "Spraoi", meaning "fun" (SPREE).





I can't see the picture you linked, but you could name him after his dominant colours:


DONN = "Brown" (DUNN). Or "Donnacha" is an actual name meaning "brown" (DUNN-acka)





RUA = "Red" (ROO-ah) -- Alternatively "Ruairi" or "Rory" is a male name meaning 'red king' -- the name of an Irish High King. (Can be pronounced as ROOR-ee or ROAR-ee)





DUBH = "Black" (DUV). "Duffy" is a real Irish surname meaning "Black" (DUFF-ee)








Reilly, Murphy, Kelly and Sullivan are other popular Irish surnames that would suit a dog...





Murphy would be particularly suitable because it means "Hound of the sea".
Reply:Conan





An old name from con "a hound" or "swift-footed warrior" and in the form conan means "little warrior." Conan Maol ("Bald Conan") was one of the warrior-band, the Fianna %26gt;Read The legend%26gt;%26gt;The Fianna lived many hundreds of years ago. Every man of the Fianna was chosen for his strength and bravery and was specially trained in warfare and was made a champion among warriors.


Usually before any man could officially become a Fianna warrior he had to undergo some tests:





While standing in a hole as deep as his waist he had to be able to defend himself against nine warriors using only a shield and a hazel rod.


He had to escape from nine warriors by running through the forest without breaking a twig under his feet or tearing his clothes on bramble.


He had to be able to jump over a branch as high as himself and run under another as low as his knee.


While running at top speed through the forest he had to be able to pick a thorn from his foot without stopping.


He had to learn twelve books of poetry by heart and also know many of the old legends and stories.


Not to take a dowry with a wife.


This band of warriors were sworn to fight for the high king of Ireland and to keep the peace among the sub-kings of Ireland. When there was peace they lived lives devoted to the chase, for they were great hunters and food was never in short supply because in that time Ireland was heavily wooded where the boar, the deer and the wolf roamed in plenty. The Fianna hunted with their famous dogs - the Irish wolfhound, as large as a small pony and now, alas, almost extinct. In a single day's hunting it is said that they would go from Killarney, in County Kerry, in the west to Ben Eadar in the east, near where Dublin stands today, crossing the trackless bogs and forest and climbing the mountains' slippery sides. A wet or a fine day, winter or summer, were all the same to them, for they heeded neither wet nor cold.
Reply:I have a cavalier called Murphy and 3 of my 5 children have irish names, they are Sean, Liam and Connor.


Or there's also Brogan, Declan, Ciaran, Oran, Aidan, Riley, Flynn, Morgan, Ryan, Finlay, Kye, Corey and Reagan. I think Riley is quite cute myself!

How about Finnegan, McKenna, Shane, Conor, Dylan, Dillon, Owen,
Reply:Cuchullain (pronounced Ku KULLin).


Bit of a mouthfull, but appropriate as he was a great warrior in Irish mythology %26amp; his name means Hound of Chullain.


Or, more simply %26amp; less of a mouthfull - Cu, which means Hound in Gaelic.
Reply:I like Finn - from the Irish myth of Finn and Fianna - Finn was the leader of the Fianna who were a group of heroes.





Or Cuchulainn (pronounced 'Koo - kul - in') - another Irish hero from mythology.
