Hi! Gary, Congratulation on your new puppy. She is beautiful. I love the name Sernity. I know she will be a great addition to your family. I'm so glad you share your family photos. I know how it is to be proud. Good Luck! Keep up the great weather coverage. Thank You! Lisa

LISA,

THANKS, DID YOU MEAN SERENITY?

GARY

*****************
Assuming you want to keep with the weather-related names, how about "Thunder"? It would definitely be appropriate if she is full of energy!

TIM,

THUNDER IS A GREAT NAME! WE'LL SEE!

GARY

****************
Gary,
Beautiful new puppy! She is gorgeous. Well you've got Windy, you've got Stormy, I am guessing you would like to stay with the "weather theme". How about HAILey. You know, like Haley only spelled like hail.. Just a thought. Did you have any name that you were thinking about?? Let me know what you think.
Ryan

RYAN,

I STILL LIKE DRIZZLE AND CUMULUS, BUT I JUST DON'T HAVE A FAVORITE YET. THIS IS WHY I AM ASKING. HAILEY IS A GREAT IDEA.

GARY

***************

I vote for Meso or better yet...Atmos.

SCOTT,

INTERESTING IDEAS. THANKS!

GARY

************
here is some names I came up with daisy,Sophie,
or breezy :) hope this helps

John K

GREAT IDEAS!

********************
Gary,
the new puppy is very cute. In keeping with your weather related dog names, how about Lightning or Blizzard? Lightning if she is quick to strike and Blizzard if she likes to smother you and get your attention. Congratulations on the new addition. I look forward to seeing her on the newscasts.

MARK,

THANKS FOR YOUR INPUT.

*******************
Hi Gary,

Is that the pup formerly known as Maxine? I'm a volunteer at the HSGKC and we are all in LOVE with her. That's one verrrry sweet and super-smart new dog you've got! Congratulations on your new addition. :)

Stacey

STACEY,

YES IT IS!!!!! YOU WOULD NOT BELIEVE HER FIRST DAY WITH US. IT IS AWESOME. THANKS!

GARY

***************
Oh, forgot to suggest a name! Since you have the "scary weather" names already in use, how about a happier one?
"Sunny" perhaps?

**************
Hi Gary,

Cute puppy! She looks like she will be bigger than Windy when she grows up (actually Stormy even looks bigger than Windy in those pics). I always thought Cirrus would be a good name, though Cumulus is also good. Since you love snow so much, how about Snowy. LOL. Can't wait to see the new addition.

Rick

RICK,

CIRRUS IS A GREAT IDEA!

GARY

****************
I like the name Dusty.

DUSTY IS TOO DROUGHT LIKE, BUT WE WILL CONSIDER IT.

THANKS.

GARY

*************************
How about Sunny?

SUNNY IS ONE OF THE POPULAR ONES SO FAR.

GARY

*************
Ahhhh I was going to say Hailey (Hail) also....it goes well with Windy and Stormy. Three dogs...are you going to be busy or what? I love Hailey...that is the name I vote for also. Monica

****************
Here are some of my idea's

Precip
Haze or Hazey
Overcast
Blizzard
Snowflake
Sunny
Cirrus

Good luck on picking the name!

**************
Again, to go with a "weather" theme, something simple like Sky, or Alley (after all, we live in Tornado Alley!) She's adorable.

***************
Both my co-worker and I think that Hailey sounds good. Plus it fits with Stormy and Windy.

***************
Put me down for the name of Lightin'.
Bob

***************
Adorable puppy, I think Sunny would be a great name.

**************
I like:
Virga
Sunny
Haily
Helicity
Theta
And a take off "Windy" would be Gusty, Gale or Bora (as in a bora wind).

************
How about Blizzard, or Bliz for short?
Just don't name her Drought!

*****************
How about Rainy? A little simple, but easy to remember! She's so sweet!! Congratulations!
Janine

***************
Gary,
Thought of another name. How about Misty? Good luck!
Janine

*****************
How about Graupel? a nice German-sounding name for a shephard mix.

******************
Gary -
Cute Puppy! How about Breeze, Misty, Rainy,
Skye or Sunny? Whatever you pick I am sure she will come when you call her! Best of Luck.
Lynn

*************************
Hey Gary,

In this year of the tornado, I vote to name her Vortex.

As an aside, I was standing in my driveway (after the slightly larger than golf ball sized hail stopped) on Saturday night watching the wall cloud come over my house near Liberty, in the northeast corner of KCMO.

It was really eerie standing there listening to the tornado sirens wailing in the distance while watching the roiling clouds above me. It was dead still, and the lightning constantly flashing above the wall cloud was fascinating to watch. Bring more exciting weather like that my way, please.

Dave

*******************
Cute new puppy you have. Well, I know you like to have "weather" related names, but how about "skye" or maybe "skylar"? Just a thought. Good luck naming her!

*****************
She's such an adorable puppy! I love how your name your dogs after weather terms, I'm sure it really helps when you go to schools. Kids really do relate with animals and it helps with the learning. I think that since Windy and Stormy are named after different common KC weather occurrences, you should have your new pup be named Sunny or Sunshine.

******************
Gary.
She is so cute!! I just love her bigs ears. Given all that has been going on recently, how about Twister?

Ivy

******************
I name my pets after their attitude, after I've had them a few days and then it just comes to me. For example: my dog is BOB BARKER, my cat is FEARLESS (after a broken leg and ripping the cast off as fast as the vet put in back) and PAUSE (PAWS) who is a tiger cat with white feat. Sometimes a good name is in the spelling.
Keeping with the weather theme, think about BREEZY or BREEZE. HALY OR HAILY is works for weather themes as well as astronomy.
GaryB.

*****************
How about Chinook?

********************
Hey Gary, I listen to you on 106.5 and heard you mention your new puppy. I couldn't wait to get to a computer to see her. She's adorable! I think you've got to keep up the weather related names. I'm not too creative so all I can think of for names are: Sunny, Rainbow or Sky. Whatever you decide though, it'll be great. Glad to see your family growing!

***************
Gary - How about StormDog or Storm Dogalina? Or Frau Dogaline (since she has some German blood in her)

Dog

PS In Britain, male delinquents are called "Yobs" for boys spelled backwards, so our Parker is a 'Yob"; therefore using the same logic, girl spelled backwards if Lurig (Lrig) - you could name her that, that's what we call Sheba sometimes, but somehow, I don't think you will.

STORM DOGALINA sounds interesting.

Gary

***********************************
I was thinking along the line with Stormy and Windy. How about Hailey? They would
go together.

BETTY,

HAILEY MAY BE THE MOST POPULAR NAME. IT HASN'T HIT ME YET. THANKS!

GARY

**********************
How about Dewey?'

KATIE,

I LOVE DEWEY, IT MAY BE MY FAVORITE THUS FAR.

GARY

**************
Ok..I am convinced...it must be Cirrus or Stratus.

SCOTT,

THESE ARE SOME OF MY FAVORITES.

GARY

************
Hi Gary,

Congrats on your new girl!!!! I vote for:

Sunny

Anne

ANNE,

THIS IS ONE OF THE TOP CHOICES SO FAR.

GARY

***************888
How about Sky? That would fit in with any weather! :)

SKY IS UP THERE COLLEEN.

GARY

*************
Gary,
How about naming her "Glory" for the glorious weather we have in KC. Are you handing out bubblegum cigars in her honor??
Nancy

NANCY,

COME ON BY AND GET THE CIGAR! I LIKE THE NAME "GLORY".

GARY

*********************
Hey Gary,

I also like the name Rainbow. I am sure you will have the right name in mind after spending more time with her this weekend. Happy Birthday in advance!

Rick

RAINBOW IS A GOOD ONE!!!!!!

*****************
You're a good guy, Gary, for adopting that beautiful pup. How about naming her Cyclone?

SUZ,

THANK YOU SO MUCH! I LIKE FLURRY AND MUGGY SO FAR.

GARY

******************
How about naming your new puppy, Doppler?

********************
Hi Gary,
Your new puppy is adorable and reminds me of a TV character none of us can forget. Remeber the TV show M.A.S.H with Gary Burghoff as Radar?? What a fitting name to go along with Windy and Stormy. Or how about Doppler? lol I also thought of Sunny and think it's cute for a girl puppie.

Laura

******************
Hi Gary,

I think you should name your new puppy Breezy.

Jim

******************
Gary how about Boomer or Sooner? hahaha. My sister lives in Oklahoma and has 2 cats. One named boomer one named sooner. But really how about Sierra? What ever you name her it will be a great name like Windy and Stormy. Great addition to your family, thanks for sharing her with us.

Trevina

*****************
Hi Gary -
She's a cutie! I like the names Doppler or Twister. . . we are in the midwest and it would commenorate this "active" tornado year so far. . .

Good luck choosing!
Abby

***************
Gary,
She is adorable. She looks like a "Misty".
Congratulations!
Emily May

*******************
Gary,

Congrats on your new addition. Here is my suggestion, simple and sweet!

TWISTER

Thanks,

Don Hassinger

******************
Cute pup Gary!! How about naming her Cirrus or Virga?

*******************
Hi, Gary!

She's adorable! Of course if I was going to go with the popular vote and keep with the weather-related names, my vote would be for "Sunny" as well. "Rainbow" would be a close second.

However, I'd like to also suggest "Doppler" in honor of Christian Doppler, who discovered the effect that helped revolutionize the way weather is forecasted today. It's both unique and a conversation starter, and it rolls off the tongue a lot better than "ESP."

But I'm sure that no matter what name is bestowed upon her, she'll be as happy and as well-liked by you and your fellow Kansas Citians as Windy and Stormy are. Congrats!

*******************
Hi Gary! Since moving here from MN, we have noticed that it is VERY windy here. Since WindY and StormY both end in Y, we think you should name her GUSTY!!! She is VERY cute! Will you be bringing her to elementary schools as well? We hope so! We hope you will bring her next year to our school- Liberty View Elementary in Olathe:) Good luck with her!
Lauren and Nathan Stone- O.P., KS
(age 9 & 6)

******************
To keep with the weather theme I vote for Sunny or Thunder. My husband Ted likes Hurricane since it is a female.

Nancy

***************
Here's a couple of suggestions:
Celsius
Frosty
Cyclone
Fujita

*******************
This name is by far not original, however I was watching a show where a "weatherperson" (I do dislike p.c. words) and his dog were guests and his dogs name was Chance. I thought, "How appropriate", what word do we hear from the weather forcast more often than there is a "chance" of this or a "chance" of that. And, of course, there is the dog is the Disney movie named "Chance" as well. Good Luck with both the new puppy and the naming dilemma.

****************
Such a pretty puppy! We do enjoy your family photos. Loved the one of you and your Mom. What about Twister for a name. Or maybe Dawn. She is a very lucky girl to have a good home. Congratulations!

*******************
Gary, Your new girl is a beautiful addition. I like the name Flashy, she deserves a fun name after living in the shelter. Your fan as always, Mary D.

*****************
Sleeter, Twister. But if you have to Stick with Y's
Flury
Rainy
Twisty
Breezy
Hailey
Snowy
Icy
Sunny
Enjoy Her

*******************
Dear Gary, the new dog is cute. My wife and I were discussing a name at dinner. How about "MISTY" or "FARENHEIT"?

Oh, it is ok to say "cut off low, weatherMAN's low" instead of "weather person"...ha!

Randy and Debi Senior
Pomona, Ks

RANDY & DEBI:
I beg to differ!! ;) What about "cut off low, *meteorologist's* woe?"
Jamie

********************
I like Sunnie!She is really cute!I hope Stormy and Windy welcome her with open paws!
:)Linda

*******************
Gary,
You should name your new puppy after and Indian Queen- Ranee

*****************
Thought of one more
Dusty

********************
Good luck in selecting just the right name for your new puppy. What a treasure and how nice of you to give her a loved home. You have many good ideas so I'm sure you'll pick just the right one. Icee, Cloudy, Staree,
Msrainy, and Msra and some other gookie ones. Larry

*********************
I think that the way you like the snow in the winter you should name your new princess snowy. Enjoy her as much as Windy and Stormy. Good luck choosing a name.
Bob "Haystack" Houseman

*******************
Gary, I like FLASHY! Have fun. Mary

*********************
We like the names Hazy, Breezy, Snowy, Sunny, Foggy, Frosty, Hailey, Rainy, Thunder, Hottie, Sunshine, Dawn, and Dusk.

****************
Hey Gary! Love her! How about Sunnie!Hope Windy and Stormy love their new little sis!! Have a wonderful week!:)Linda

***************
GARY
Nice looking puppy I agree with lightning it
does fit with rest of the names.If it were a
white dog it could have named snow that would
really be right up your alley.

TAKE CARE AND GOOD LUCK
JIM

*****************
Gary:
You could name her either Breezy, or Thunder.
Thanks Tom

****************
Gary,
What a cute puppy! She looks lika a ray of sunshine to me, so why not name her Sunshine? You could call her Sunny for short.
Anne

******************
I think your dog is adorable. I would like to offer the name Parhelia... or just Halo. Just so others know, a parhelion is also known as a "sun dog".

You could also use the name "Paraselenae" for "moon dog". Either way, it means a bright halo around the sun/moon.

Obviously, she is bright (intelligent) and .. hey, she's a dog! hehe.. good luck.

*******************
Gary-
Your dog is adorable. She fits right in with your other 2 dogs and you helped a cause by adopting her. I like the names Misty,Breezy,Drizzle,Frosty,Snowy. Breezy goes along with Stormy and Windy. How about Chilly for windchill?

******************
Gary - I'm horrible with being creative on names so I've read through them and actually like the name Dusty posted by Angie.

The reason being... 10-15 years from now people will ask why your name is Dusty and you can say that when you adopted the dog we were on the brink of a horrible drought and all your loyal blog readers were worried sick about their lawns, gardens, foundations of homes, and so forth. I'm don't think it has a negative light to it... just a historical one. Anyhow, my two cents!

Hank.

****************
Hey Gary,
She's adorable. How about CHILLY for windchill? I also liked BREEZY and DRIZZLE.

***************
Gary,
The new puppy looks adorable! Good luck with all those new puppy duties....or should that be doodies.
I think you should call her "Breezy". You would then have Stormy, Windy, and Breezy.

*****************
She's a cutie!!
Millie (millibars)
Foggy

******************
Gary, How about " Lezy" For the Lezak puppy. Congrads PaPa!

****************
I think that since she is younger and new little sisters are always into mischief or trouble and storms and wind are trouble and cause mischief all the time she should be named Mischief or Trouble because as far as Windy or Stormy is concerned that is what she will be until she gets older.
Enjoy your puppy and congraulations.

******************
Gary, how about the obviuos, "April", it would always remind you of when you got her. Speaking of April, very warm and dry, kind of like our so called winter.I've seen some forecasts for a hot dry summer, any thoughts. Thanks, from Greg in Olathe.

****************
I think you need to name her Cyclone. That would be cool for the region...and its a catchy name.

******************
I'm really putting my life on the line with this suggestion but I had a friend who made the comment one time that my wife's name would be a good name for a dog. Her name too can be related to the weather. MISTY!

I would have suggested maybe Nimbo, or Cirro but I don't know, Misty really has a nice ring. Just don't tell my wife, please.

*******************
Congrats! I like the name Twister!
plus it one of my favorite movies!

******************
Gary,
You should name your puppy Sunny! Cute name for a cute puppy!
Kelly

*****************
How about Cirrus?

*********************
Well, I logged in to suggest a name that I see others have suggested, which is Misty. This is actually being suggested by 3 different people in our household.

****************
I like the name Puddles for the newest member of the NBC Action News Team.

*******************
Gary
I LOVE the new baby! How about Misty or Sunny? Would love to see you all sometime. You could bring all the kids over to run and play out here. By the way, HAPPY BIRTHDAY a couple of days early!!!
Love ya,
Brian and Jennifer Barnhart

*****************
What a cutie!
We've come up with a few:
Sunny
Twister
Cloudy
Misty

****************
I like Sunny as well. Or maybe Storm Tracker 5...oh wait, sorry. lol! Yeah, I'm sticking with Sunny. Enjoy her, they grow so quickly.

*****************
Gary Congratulations.
Here are some of my ideas.....
blizzy?
sleety?
sunny?
millie?
rainey?
gustey?
frosty?
twisty?
snowey?
flashey?
haliey?
frontey?
some of these names might seem far fetched but I'm just trying to give you some ideas. Well have fun figuring out the name and good luck.

****************
Congratulations Dog Daddy!
I think this beautiful girl is definitely a "Misty"

*****************
Congratulations Dog Daddy!
I think this beautiful girl is definitely a "Misty"

*****************
Hey I think Flurry is a great name because it sounds good with the other names. Windy, Stormy, and Flurry.

*******************
"Misty" was the first thing that popped into my mind when I saw your new darlin' and heard she needs a name. In the pictures, her coat even appears to be a misty brown/tan color. My dog, Rory, says he, too, likes "Misty." So we vote for "Misty."

******************
Gary,

I love your dog, she looks really cute!!! Stormy, the new pup, and Windy almost look like triplets... Hmmm.... =D

But, as for a name, I would name her Thunderbolt, Rain or Snowy. I think oen of those would be fitting, since you've got Windy and Stormy.

********************
Hi Gary,
Congratulations on the new addition to your family!! She is really cute!

Might I suggest something simple like Sunny or Rain. You could even spell Rain differently - like Rayne.

******************
What about "Misty"
I am a dog lover and wish you the best with your new girl.
Mary Jo

*******************
Gary, We like the name Sunny for your new puppy. Breezy is another idea. Hope Windy and Stormy welcome her with loving paws. We enjoy seeing pictures of them and all your pet pics. Keep up the good work. Thanks, Darlene and Jim McCluskey

**********************
Hey Gary,
My vote would be for either Breezy or Dewey. Both would fit in great with your other "girls". Congratulations on your new addition!

*******************
We like these names:
Slick, Rain, Ice, Alley, Drizzle, Zeus (the God of weather), Sunniva (Scandanavian for Gift of God), Meriwether, Amaya (Japanese for rain), Crystal (English for ice). People have a lot of good suggestions. Good luck.

******************
Hi Gary,
Here is a name for your new puppy, Breezy.
Cute pup!
KarenSue

*****************
Cute baby!Our puppy,Tinkerbell, likes Virga, Hurricane, and Dewey!

*******************
We're voting for Sunny because a sunny day always makes everyone feel good. You already have Stormy and Windy so its a natural. Don't you agree?

********************
Hi Gary! My vote is for 'Halo'...it's different. Some other favorites are Solstice and Fujita. Have fun and give her tummy a rub for me.

*********************
Congratulations on the new addition and thanks for always sharing! I'm sure it's been mentioned, but how about "Rainy" or play on the spelling because I'm sure as a princess she will "reign" in the house. Best wishes!

*****************
She is so cute and looks like she is fitting in with the new family.
I don't think Ihave seen these mentioned
Dopplar
Dawn
Summer

****************
She is just too cute! How about Mercury, Gale,or Quasi ( I'm kind of partial to Cirrus too)?
Congratulations!

******************
Gary- What was the weather like when you picked up your new pup? I like the name Rainy. What about Jaculyne? You can name her after Jack Harry. I also like Cloudy. Good Luck! The Vanderpools

******************
i like a lot of the names that you have on board but i think sun dancer is a good one also, although my first thought was lightning. well have fun on this one. thanks for the best weather reports. penny

***************
Gary:
I like the name Raina. Congrats on your new family addition.
Betty Davis

*******************
Hi Gary. Beautiful puppy. I like Sunny, Haily, or Twister- especially since we have had so many twisters already this season :)
Congratulations on your new addition. I'm sure she will settle in quickly.

Lisa

************************
Dear Gary,
She looks incredibly smart! I suggest the names 'Doppler' or 'Radar'. She's going to notice everything. Look at those ears! Whatever you name her, she will be a very lucky dog. God Bless Windy and Stormy and the newest one. susan

**************
Gary,
Since your new pup has big floppy ears, how about the name Doppler? It would be hard to expect her to respond to ESP, so Doppler would work out well.

****************
Dear Gary,
She looks incredibly smart! I suggest the names 'Doppler' or 'Radar'. She's going to notice everything. Look at those ears! Whatever you name her, she will be a very lucky dog. God Bless Windy and Stormy and the newest one. susan

***************
Gary,

Your puppy is a cutie!! I have a perfect name for you - DATA! I think that may have been a Star Trek character, but I thought it fit you perfectly. New Data would be too long. So just Data the Dog! :-)

Neila,

Data is moving to the top of the list! Thanks.

Gary

***************
Naming is almost as much fun as getting a new pup! Twister is good, or Halley (as in the comet). I also like Solstice-but maybe that would be better for a Golden!
She's a lucky pup, and I'm sure you'll enjoy her.

*****************
sticking with the weather theme:
gale
flurry
breezey

Enjoy your new puppy and congrats!

*****************
I like dewey or hazy or cirrus.

***********************
Gary-
I love thinking of pet names. Remember my kitty "MIO" =(Made in Oklahoma) that was one of your Pet Picks just a few weeks ago. Mio's sister's name is "Minnipawsal" (Minne for short) because she is a girl with a moustache.
For your new little girl puppy I like-
"Sunshine" (Sunny for short).
How about the wind measuring device- "Anemometer" (Annie for short).
Lynette

*****************
Gary
In keeping with a weather name. I like ISOBAR.

***************
Gary,
Congrats on your newest adoption. She's definitely Breezy. Thanks for your passion predicting the weather! It keeps me coming back every night.

*****************
Gary,
The dogs are gorgeous. How about something like Sunny?

****************
I like Hailey and Breezey. Good luck with your new puppy.

****************
Gary, Too bad it's not a boy. We like Thunder as a name. But Blizzard might not be too bad. Have fun & enjoy your growing family.

***************
Has anyone thought of Frosty? I know its like the snowman but anyway another suggestion. Gary we think you are a very special person and prayed for you thru your cancer treatments. We love animals also. 2 dogs and 2 cats at our house. Heidi is the Sheltie and Sophie is the tiny toy poodle. Thanks for sharing part of your life with us! Lucky furry friends!

******************
I love your new puppy!!! I have a miniature horse named Rainey and since you like weather related names that would be my choice! I also like Sunny or Breezy! Sheila

*******************
HI!
She looks like fun! I like the name ECHO as well as Glaze, rain, halo , misty, flash and Gale. Shear and Sky are also nice. Good Luck!
Nina

************************
Gary
I like Breezy.. .... I heard Data on the radio this morning that was a character on Star Trek, that is to treky.
Linda

******************
Congratulations Dad!!!! She is a beautiful baby and I know she has a wonderful loving home. I like the name Sunny or Sunshine because it brings to mind wonderful happy weather.

********************
The new lady of the house is just as beautiful as the other two. I say her new name should be Hailey (hail).. Can't wait to hear her new name.. Ann

*******************
Congratulations! and thank you for adopting from a shelter. There are so many good dogs that need homes.
Here are some ideas for a name:
Sunny,
Breezy,
Cloudy,
Flash,
Dusty,
Drizzle or Drizzly,
Misty,
Tsunami,
Spout,
Roker,
Annie (anenometer),
Bluster,
Balmy,
Gusty,
Torrid,
Blaze,
Nippy,
Wispy,
Glory,
Dewy,
Frosty,
Zephyr,
Aurora,
Horus.

***************
I like Cloudy or Breezy. Goes with Stormy and Windy. Dewey is good too.

*******************
What a great looking girl. I know she will grow into those ears. I like the name Sonar with ears like that I bet she picks up everything. Congratulations on the new addition!!

**********************
Besides my earlier vote of Cirrus I really like Sunny. I think it goes well with your other dog's names.

Amy

*********************
How about Aflac! After the insurance duck. I love that name. I also like Friday - heard you discussing that on the radio this morning.

******************
great looking dog! how about "LUNA" as in the lunar moon?

*********************
I was also going to suggest Hailey...I actually have relatives (well, in-laws) that have 3 daughters names Windy, Hailey, and Misty. How's that for weather-related names?

*******************
What a sweet puppy! I think she looks like a "Flurry" to me. Enjoy her!

****************
I like flash. But I also think Rayo would be cute. That is bolt of lightning in Spanish.

*******************
I was wondering if anyone had thought of Velocity as a name? I thought it would fit in with Windy and Stormy.

*******************
First of all, you are awesome. I am a huge animal activist, and you are a great role model for that. I asked my 3 1/2 year old daughter for a name, and she said Summer. Probably because she is ready for it! But, I thought that kinda went with your theme for your adorable dogs.
Take care! She is precious.
Gretchen

*********************
Gary,
The new puppy is so cute. You have a Windy Morning, A Stormy Day, How about a "STARRY" night? Congrats on the new addition.

*******************
Gary-
My 3 1/2 year old daughter Emily loves to see the dogs on TV- she thinks Rain would be a good name for the new puppy.

Thanks
Marnie

*****************
Hi!
More names for Puppy: Misty, Flash, Ozone, Rayne ("Rainy" - I knew a girl in college named Rayne Knight), Gale or Crystal.

********************
We have had two German Shepherd puppies, and they have ears just like your new puppy. I named one Cody and the Toxa. However, when I looked at them, I thought, why didn't I name them "Radar" because of the large ears that would rotate when you talked to them. They finally grew into them, but I still think I should have named them Radar.
Good luck with your new puppy, and I hope Storm and Windy teach it new things.
Cherie Moses

********************
How about Regen, which is German for rain? (assuming she's a German Shepherd).

*****************
Hello Gary I like the name "Milli" short for millibar (mb)

****************
Gary-

I vote for Hailey, Clipper, CHIEF, Alberta, Boomer (Sooner), or Doppler

*******************
Hi Gary:

Congrats on your new puppy!! My daughter and I have thought of several names:

Sunny
Tsunami (nickname "Tsu")
I realize this isn't a Midwest condition, but it's cute:)
Muggy
Breezy
Fury

Good luck and enjoy "the girls"

********************
What a great addition to your clan, congrats! I have to throw my two cents in for the name Twister. Things can be calm and then bam! this whirling ball of fur can come through and destroy (or at least re-arrainge things) in seconds. Have fun!

***********************
Congratulations - she's a beauty! A new twist on some of the name suggestions: use the German word for the name, in honor of her "heritage"(??) Some translations include - Breezy - Frisch; Sunny - Heiter, or Sonnig; Thunder - (der) Donnerschlag; Hail (for Haily) - (der) Hagel; Misty - Neblig (my favorite!), or Dunstig. Other translations could be looked up as well. Good luck; we will be looking forward to the name you choose :-)

*********************
I think Mistus would be perfect. You are always saying "It mist us again!"

***********************
Gary,

I am a HSGKC volunteer (I do the calendar). Is this Maxine? I saw her and fell in love too! She has the sweetest face. It looks like you have quite a few suggestions to choose from, and they are good. I came up with a few different "nature" names to go with her sweet face (also having a name that doesn't start with an S or W since those consonants are already taken):
Lily
Misty
Sky
Tulip
Daisy

Good luck! Picking a great name is tough. Congrats on your beautiful, new addition.

Rachel

RACHEL,

It is Maxine, but she is about to have a name change. She is doing so well.

What about Tornado? Just look at that face. He is going to sweep through every place he goes leaving havoc in his wake. Windy, Stormy, and Tornado. Come on, got to be.

I'm going to vote for Summer, Sunny, and April because their feminine...after all, she is a girl. In addition, you mentioned that she is extremely smart, and another word for smart is bright, just like the sun (Sunny) and Summer!

Good luck!

The staff at Paw Prints votes for Twister even though it isn't one of the finalists. We'll love her no matter what you call her!

**********************
Gary: I noticed that someone has already suggested VIRGA, but it wasn't among your finalists. I truly believe the new girl is a VIRGA!

Hi Gary from hot and steamy Alabama. I used to live in KC and still follow Windy and Stormy thanks to my sister who is still in KC. I even have a Windy stuffed animal!
Your new puppy is beautiful. I like the name Sunny for her. Happy puppy naming!

SHAWN:
The name "Breezy" won!

Hi,Gary,
Love your dogs. Breezy is a doll. What big ears she has! If she were a cat, I would say she is a "good mouser." Maybe she will be anyway. :)

MARSHA,

THANKS! BREEZY IS SCARED THIS MORNING WITH ALL OF THE NOISES OUTSIDE.
