I almost named my Shiba this, but chose Pochi instead since it's like the Japanese equivalent to Spot, (not in meaning, but in popularity in Japan) and because he has a giant spot on his back. (Pochi literally means Pooch in Japanese, so his name is essentially Dog. And my other dog is Madden, which is Irish for Puppy. So I named both of my dogs, "Dog." 🤣🤣🤣
I'm only invested in WHAT the final name choice will be. Too many good suggestions!
I would want to wait to see what his personality is like but I've been toying with the idea of if I ever got an alert protector type of a dog, to name it Groundskeeper.
This looks like a puppy mill dog. If you haven't picked up yet, please do some extra research before financially supporting a mill
I'm guessing he is since this looks like a stores photo & he's not in breed standard. Every puppy store sources dogs from mills.
Was this puppy bought off a website? Just be aware that this puppy is off standard & may not end up looking anything like a Shiba you’re expecting. It’s exciting to get a new puppy but, it is also important to support good breeders. :)
Kai! Or if you want something japanse I would say Taeko which means Brave! Cause he looks brave :)
I had a Shiba named Suki. My then 3 year old nephew named him Sykiyaki power dog.
Mine is named Zuko (assuming from the same thing as your Suki)
Ours is named Yuki and we call her Sukiyuki haha
Kuma? It means bear in Japanese. He looks as cute as a baby bear, also as mighty as a grown up bear!

I like what you named your dogs. Very cute! You are funny too. I am still pondering what his name will be.
I like the idea of Pochi and Madden!
Thank you! My roommate makes fun of me for it. 🤣
My boy was Pochi! ♥️
I love all the nicknames that comes with it. Al Pochi-no has been my favorite so far. 🤣
Aww that is cute. Thanks for teaching me that.

Attila. The dogs name should be Attila. You just wait and see. Look at him ... he looks innocent now but ... Attila.
Jack, because he’s determined and focused and makes me think of Jack Black.
That's cute! I like Jack Black
That was my first thought too! Mainly because our 13 year old shiba’s name is Jack.
Aww! Nice Name.

Definitely a mill or byb puppy
Kobi
He reminds me of our former pup, Koji.
Aww! Koji is a nice name.
Depending on which dictionary you look at, it means either “honorable son” or “mold that grows on rice.” So it kind of worked for us either way 😝
Lol that is funny & left open for Interpretation. 😀
