What a fun subject Pat. Before "Snowden" arrived home I was searching for names on a baby name website that gave you the meanings & origins of the names. I already had his registered name picked out "Skylands Storm Front", since he was born on the night that I went to a Billy Joel concert in Philadelphia, "Storm Front" was the album for the concert tour.
Snowden: "from the snowy hill"or"man from the snow capped mountain". Came from the babyname website. I thought what a great name for a mountain dog. So the "Snowy" goes w/the storm front too! Since that's what we are having here in the Northeast as this BIG storm is finally here in PA. Looks like we are going to get 1-2 FEET of snow until it's all done Monday night...anyway. Sometimes people say "He doesn't looked snowed-in" Ha, Ha. He has lots of "nicknames": Snowy, Snowman, Snowdrift, Snowhead, Snowfluff...they go on. Misha was one of the BARC rescues from the 2nd auction that came from Russia. So I wanted a "russian sounding" name & I remembered the mascot from the 1980 winter olympic games that were in Russia. "Misha" was a really cute fuzzy bear that was the mascot & that's the name that came to my mind when I saw the little bundle of berner fuzz. Her name that I gave her for the AKC ILP # is "Misha BARC's Alot". She can be quite vocal & I wanted to have the BARC name in there also. Looking forward to reading about the other pups names on the berner-L Getting "snowed-in" here in PA, Beth Schmoyer Bethlehem, PA Snowden 5 years old Misha 2 years old & the cats.
