Dogs

[Lily]

OH! Radu! I really like that. Might not be easy to shorten affectionately though.

[ParisGal]

Dan Petrescu was Romanian.

[Edith Bacon]

What about Rudy/Rudi? That sounds auburnish.

[baargain]

Paprikash? It's a Romanian stew made with paprika, which works with his colour.

[Lily]

Paprikash is inspired! I'm just not sure what I would shorten it to. Rudi is certainly one to consider, too. These are all great, keep them coming!

If I stay English, I was thinking of Cricket.

[baargain]

I wasn't sure about shortening it either. Papi, papri, kash... Err.

Cricket is cute. I like that.

[Luna]

I don’t think he looks like a cricket. I like Rubio though.

[Lily]

I could call him Rufio - like the guy in Hook. :)) But also Rufus, red, rusty, etc.

[nineseven]

My buil.der is Romanian and his name is Florin.

[Kenickie]

Riki could be short for Paprikash. Or Ash

[Montana]

I could call him Rufio - like the guy in Hook. :)) But also Rufus, red, rusty, etc.

Ruffalo?

[FiveO'Clock]

Rosu is Romanian for red (so says the google)

[Lily]

I'm liking Ruffalo, but would people think I had called him after Mark - or the Gruffalo? Rosu sounds too ladylike for a boy dog :gendercritical: Riki makes me think of Bianca from Eastenders. Florin is cute.

Totally unrelated: my favourite Shakespearean character is Puck, but that's too short for a dog.

[Luna]

Rossi?

[Topcat]

Florin is a Romanian mans name.

[Tabitha]

Thanks Ondine.

[Topcat]

Anytime, Artery.

[Lily]

You guys

Roșcată is Romanian for redhead. Zorro is Spanish for fox. Maybe Zorro?

[Edith Bacon]

That’s a lovely name, Lily. Ross for short? I like that.

[Lily]

I guess it'd be Roscato as he's a boy... Rosco for short maybe.
