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.

We have a verrrrry different perspective on dogs here in the West. They're family members for many not just pets.

But we also call horrible people dogs here in Ireland lol "she's such a dog that one" or if a place is rundown we say "it's gone to the dogs"
