I voted for both Hawaiian names, paws crossed one will be approved:-)
I like that you’ve included us all in helping to name the pets in your story! I didn’t care for names that are related to guns, something about it rubs me the wrong way….. so I made more peaceful name picks, LOL!
Love & Biscuits,
Dogs Luv Us and We Luv Them
Thanks for voting, Cathy!
I voted! I had to vote Ruger for the puppy because my cousin had an absolutely amazing dog of her heart by that name. He was an extremely gentle pitbull but would have done anything to protect her. He is still sorely missed.
Thanks for voting! I love those pitties, such lovely dogs.
We voted! We saw the original call for cat names and didn’t think our “soft and sweet” names fit with your descriptions. We love reading your books, but haven’t read any in this series yet.
Thanks for submitting suggestions! There were so many great names and yep, had to go with the ones that best fit the story. Stay tuned for next in the SEPTEMBER & SHADOW series (more cat theme stuff to come!)
I voted, but I also had a hard time choosing. I chose more normal names that I could pronounce, but these weren’t very popular. When I went to Hawaii I had a real hard time with the names.
Ha! I know what you mean re: pronunciations, but it really does add to the flavor of the story. The original Lei Crime thrillers are all set in Hawaii, and in this novella, Keiki the police dog finally makes her way to the Islands.
I voted, but it was tough to pick a favorite. All the names are great.
Thanks for voting!
Those Hawaiian names are very cool! What wonderful fur kids. Good luck with your book!
Thanks a bunch, it’s a fun bunch of characters and stories to write.
Voted; I hope it helps. What a great idea to get people’s input on the characters’ names.
Thanks Jana. Whenever possible, I try to get readers involved in the process–after all, once it’s published, the story no longer is mine and ultimately belongs to the readers. *s*
These are all such awesome name ideas! I voted for Phantom and Ranger! Excited to see what names win!
Great! Those seem to be popular choices, too. I’m anxious to see the winners, too.
What great names!!!! Honestly I would have to know the pet’s personality to be sure but I did vote. I picked Ruger for a pup because it sounds cool and it’s unique. Trouble for a cat because let’s face it – it works for MOST cats MOL!
Hahaha! You’re right about the names–and that’s why they were on my “finals” list, too. Honestly, the pets’ personalities will be decided by the names that are chosen. Fun stuff!
No fair! Just One name. This is SO tough, you know!!!!!!!
Oh i loved the Hawaiian names best!! I always like pet names to be a little out of the expected!
Voted, it was hard to choose just one, they are all awesome names. Good luck finishing the manuscript!
Thanks for voting! You could vote for more than one, I suppose–but then we’d have ties and I don’t know what I’d do! LOL!
