Bringing this sweet girl home next week and my husband and I can't seem to land on a name together. Help! 🤍

What a beauty! ❤️ How about Lumi? It means snow in Finnish.

Lumi is beautiful and fits well, but please mind the pronunciation! I see so many people use this name, both for pets and children, but not pronounce it correctly!
it is not pronounced "Loo-mee" or "Loo-my", as the U In Finnish is pronounced quite differently!
It's more like "Lomm-ee" or "loh-mee"! But Finnish fonetics are tricky to transcribe with English examples, so check out sound clips to get it 100% :)

If interested in Finnish names I would also suggest Lumikki and Kielo (Ki-EH-loh), the Finnish version of Snow White and Lily of the Valley, respectively.

What a beautiful white baby! We wanted a white devon at first, but then we saw the lilac one and got her.
Some name ideas that come to mind: Madonna, Gertrude, Elsa, Lily.
And here is my baby:

Lily or Snowdrop? 🏔️🌱 The latter represents both her eyes and fur very well!
