Help[Opinions] Ylva
My aunt and her family will soon be owners of four dogs: they already have a Field Spaniel Maisa (pronounced as MIE-sah), an English Springer Spaniel Mette (MEHT-teh) and a Siberian Husky Winka (VING-kah), and tomorrow another Husky named Ylva (UYL-vah) will join them. I think Ylva is a great name for a Husky as it means "she-wolf". I also associate the name with Finnish words "ylväs" and "ylevä" (both meaning "noble, sublime") which isn't a bad thing either.
What do you think of Ylva? And if you had a Siberian Husky, what would you name them?
Formerly known as Remora L.

I love Ylva! Great name for a husky.
I'd probably name one:
Amarok / Amaroq
Artemis
Ourania
Gaia
Athena
Keridwen
Aquila
Alba
Pelagia
Corvina

I like the idea of Ylva for a husky, but it doesn’t sound too great in my accent. Huskies are one of the few dog breeds I’d consider getting, so I have a few names in mind if that did happen someday. I like Pyrrha, and Vaila, but would probably go for Lumi or Eira (as Ay-ruh), which have a better fit. I dunno about a boy husky, I’m not a fan of any of the more obvious ones, except maybe Winter, ooh or maybe Snow/Snowy.

Hi Remora !!!
What is the meaning of Winka? I love its sound. Mette and Maisa are nms.
Ylva is nice on paper but it reminds me of Ilva,an Italian steelworks company. It is a very bad link imo.
I love Siberian Huskies!
I would use Scandinavian names or wordy names linked with winter.
Pyry
Lumi
Synnøve
Smilla
Siri
Alaska
Tormenta ("blizzard")
Thor
Loki
Fenrir
Neve ("snow")
Spettro ("phantom")
Stark (ASOIAF)
Greywind (ASOIAF)
Nymeria (ASOIAF)
Ygritte (ASOIAF)
Brynden (ASOIAF)
Ice
Tchaikovsky
Nightwish (like the band)
Balto
Gry
Ulalume
Matryoshka
Bolshoi
Silmaril (LoR)
Ragnar
Lagertha
Boreas ("North Wind)
Winterina
Claus
Bering
Romanov
Zar / Czar / Tsar

Winka is derived from "vinka", a rare Finnish word meaning "cold wind". There are also other meanings to it, see here: https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/vinka

Not a fan of Ylva, mainly because I don't like the look of it and that it's dated. It's fine for a good though.
I would (and have) name a pet human names that I like, but might not use for a child. So far I have Elliot, Hermione "Mio" and Penny. I'd name a female husky something like Indra or Cleo.
