Is Angel a good first name for my puppy?

Question

I am going to name my dog-to-be Sallie. She is a black lab. (By the way this is Rufus)
Is Angel Sallie a good name for my puppy? Otherwise can you guys help me find a good name that starts with A that means Black or Dark?

Thanks again guys!!

~Sallie. aka Rufus

Answer 1

I like the name Archangel, but I wouldn't use the combination of the two names Angel and Sallie. But it's your dog, and you can do whatever you like. I prefer names for animals that are strange, creative, and unique.

Completely off topic: I have two cats. One is named Dopple and the other is Morgan Rose Ireland Yvette DeWitter . . .hehe(long story).

Here are some I found:

Braith - it is Welsh for black
Adham - is Arabic for black
Cola - old English name and means black
Duff - means black peace
Jett - means black coal
Kiaran - means little black one
Kishan - means the black/blue

And the list goes on . . . go to the site I listed - there are lots of names there. Hope this helps.

Answer 2

Goodness knows how you pronounce some of these (lol) - these all mean dark :
Achlys, Adriana, Adrienne

Or how about Absolute? (as in absolute darkness?)

Absolute Sally? I quite like that actually. Hmm.

I've found some names for angels starting with a ....
Abariel, Achaiah, Afrielle, Amatiel, Ambrielle, Aquarielle, Azraelle

There are black semi precious gemstones:
agate, ammonite & absidian (the actual stone is obsidian I just cheated & changed the o to an a)

Absidian Sally?

Going back to Angel - could you not lengthen it maybe to
Angelic Sallie or Angelface Sallie or Angelpaws Sally?

[Just though of terrible pun - Angel Lick - ugh, perhaps I'd better get some sleep now!]

Hope you find a wonderful name for her ...

--------------------------------------------------------------

a day later ...

was thinking about your Sallie when I went to sleep last night - trying out names that rolled off the tongue when added to Sallie ... just don't feel that Angel is quite long enough.

So, I have two final suggestions:

Angelpallie Sallie
because you like the name angel & she is your pal

Amdoolallie Sallie
which does roll of the tongue & sort of describes that lovable, slighly scatty personality of a gorgeous lab.

PS a Sally Annie was what my grandmother used to call someone who was a member of the Salvation Army

Answer 3

Angel is not dark or black, so why are you going from naming it Angel, to finding an 'A' name meaning dark or black?

Angel is a fine name. So is Sallie.

Answer 4

Angel and Sallie just don't go together well. Sallie Ann would be cute.

Answer 5

Angel is definately a good name for anyone,but the word Angel doesn't seem like it would mean something dark or black.One would think it meant something snow white.If you want a name that would mean something dark or black ,I would suggest the name "MIDNIGHT SALLIE",or "BLACK LACE SALLIE"

Answer 6

A?
hmm.
cant think of anything, angel sounds pretty good!
i love the name casper for black animals, but that doesnt start with an A.

Answer 7

Angel or Sallie is good but not together

but, thats just my opinion

Answer 8

Archangel

Answer 9

I like it. Midnight would be better for a dark dog though or even demon but I can't think of any that start with an "A".

Answer 10

Aurora is a good name. It means dark. Good luck.
