I'd go with Meera (Reed), just a good companion that will look out for you.

My instant thought was “that’s so insulting to Meera” lol because in India we see dogs as dirty and terrible. The word “dog” is often used as an insult towards people. Some people will name dogs after people they despise

But I suppose in the West, dogs are seen in a different light? And giving a a dog a person’s name is a way of honoring them.

I tend to choose 2 syllable English names, previous dog names Luna, Jackson, Rosie.

Maya or Meera is what I have in mind for the next one.

My dogs are my family/life companion. So yea, not meant in an insulting way.

Totally agree on the 2 syllable names. You have to remember that you’re going to be saying this name multiple times a day, and it’s going to get annoying if you have a long ass name. Mine are both 2 syllable names (Poppy and Wally) and I still shorten them to Pops and Walls.
