Help[Opinions] Re: Name my new Portuguese Water Dog Female
in reply to a message by Ironi
I can hurl a bunch of Portuguese names at you (none of which are/can be unisex, sorry). Let's see, how about Lago (LAH-goo), which means lake? Or Rio (REE-oo), river. Poça (POH-sa), puddle. Ironically, out of these three only poça is a feminine noun. Hmm, maybe Lagoa (luh-GO-uh) - small lake? Or Chuva (SHOO-vuh), rain. Or Nova (NAW-vuh), meaning new.
Or you if you have a particular place/feature in mind, I can translate it for you?
By the way, this is an unnecessary tidbit of info, but Kona spelled with a c is a very heavy slang word in Portuguese.

Yup, I am. It's best that I don't tell you what that word means, lest you come across a Portuguese-speaker while out with your dog - you'll be able to claim blissful innocence.
Oh, and I checked your reply to Alcyone's post (sorry to snoop). Mira is pronounced MEE-ruh in Portuguese, and it's actually the name of a river here (albeit a small one). It can also mean "aim" in weapons-related topics, and it's also Spanish for "Look!".
Forgive my curiosity, but how would you pronounce a few of the words I mentioned before? I think I have an idea but I'd like to know :)
