name the giraffe

Welcome February! I'm always glad when January has passed in all it's dreariness and snow (can we start looking for spring yet?) and we can look forward to the lovely month of February.

In honor of the first of the month, I'm starting a contest of sorts. The objective is to name Charlotte's new friend, her giraffe lovey blanket. The only rules are that it has to be a girl name and an added bonus is that it's easily pronounced by a little one. You can submit as many names as you'd like. Just leave a comment with your suggestions. Here's a picture of the new member of the family...isn't it sweet? And soooo soft too...!


Be sure and leave a way for us to know who you are...
just sign your name if you don't have a blogger account. :)

  2. How appropriate would it be to name her animal after a giraffe from the Cheyenne Mountain Zoo!

    Felicity - means "happy"

    Naima - means "to be content"

    Gimbya - means "princess"

    Ifama - means "all is well"

    Jabulela - means "be happy"

    P.S. I had the same thought as Ben originally too!! I like Sweta.

  5. I'm honestly surprised this hasn't been suggested already, especially with all of these clever Fisk people responding. (grin) What about Gigi? I'm a fan of alliteration and this should be easy enough for a little one to say.

    Gabe is giggling as he (successfully) tries to say it.

    Oh, just in case there is a question about pronunciation -- "G G".

  6. Hmmm..I can't think of anything too creative. I mean we just called Dean's bear "Teddy" and now that's what he calls it. :)

  7. I kinda like "Spots" but guess since that isn't specifically a girl's name it wouldn't really count. Best of luck finding a name! Cute pics of the girls too. Love the faces they are making together. Too funny.

  8. I'll just agree and say that I think annie would be cute.

  9. I like the name Josie the Giraffe...girlie and pretty easy to say!! It looks like such a sweet little blanket.

  10. I like Jabulela best because it means "be happy" -- that's what you want her to be (especially when she has her lovey giraffe!)

    But I also think that Ben's list is great and I think both Muzuki and Sweta are good choices. I like the "African name" touch!

    Whatever you call it, Charlotte will figure out how to say it ... or some equivalent :)
