What is Japanese for "flying squirel" I wonder? Or maybe Japanese for "big-eyed mouse" ? They probably would be to long or complicated, OR they might sound cool?

How about Himiko or Hitomi?

Emoni

Hitomi is very appropriate...

What is a sugar glider doing in a dog website?

Anyway. How about "Guraiko"?

A combination of "Guraidaa" (Glider) and "Ko" (Child, a regular suffix for a female name).


Now... Someone once mentioned on naming it after the Japanse term of flying squirrel.

http://linear.mv.com/cgi-bin/j-e/fg=r/inline/dosearch?sDict=on&H=PS&L=E&T=squirrel

I think that "Risuko" would do nice. :)

Of course, someone else's suggestion of "Momo" would be nice also, could be a short for "Momonga". But then again, maybe that's why the name "Momo" was suggested in the first place.

Whoa! What the hell is that thing! Freaky!

Anyway, about a name...perhaps you are liking "Yuka" or "Ayako" or, well perhaps anything ending in "ko". Like maybe "Ears-ko"! LOL

sugar glider = momonga
flying squirrel = musasabi
As a female name, Momo, Momoko, Momoka, Momoyo, Momoe, or Momomi would be suitable.


eye = me, hitomi, manako.
Among these words, Hitomi sounds as a female name.

I can't help but mention the name Rio-oke. The pic reminds me of Rioko's pet from the Tenchi series. Sorry if I mispelled the names... I haven't seen any episodes of this anime in a long time.

Jul 24, 2004, 10:47
It's a p..... so why not Manko , just say "means power of 10000 females" or something corny to cover up the obvious.

I am actually considering this name for a daughter...

do they actually make "dogs" like that ???????????????????
dont give it a girl's name, it would be an insult to any girl or woman on this earth.
call it "grlmnrtsk" or "frkgrtttpq", or better still dont call it at all.
i know what i'd do with that "thing" !!!!! :D

I think momo would go nice. Means peach in english and is part of the japanese word for sugar glider. Fairly cute name :cool:

Or something with a good meaning... im thinking something to do with nighttime cause its a nocturnal creature.
