Blade was the first thing that popped into my head when I picked him up so it kinda stuck

Taz came already named, as did Skyla. I was going to change Skyla's name but decided not too as she had already been through a lot of changes in her life.

Our first GSD was called Blade back when all the blade films were about.
Never met another dog called blade.

Now you have

My husbands friends call Blade "Wesley Snipes" , Blade actually for a long time thought his name was "Puppy"

yes I've seen the name skyla spelt differently but can't remember it other than it started Sch.. but its pronounced the same.

I've thought of similar name if dogs name was already established but just a more unusual spelling say if it was called Sammy or Sam ... spelling it 'Sami' or Kenzie is close enough to Kenny for example but they would both be names I'd struggle with.

I guess if it was a deaf dog I was adopting it wouldn't really matter if the dog had never heard it's name been called anyway...in which case I'd try and find a name with an easy sign so it could learn its name such as 'Angel' (but that maybe quite common too?).

Some of the names that could also be items would work such as 'Blade' (as in signing cut or knife as you would for the word 'blade')

I need two lists lol... one for hearing dog one for incase it's a deaf dog and I need one that's specifically easy to sign!

I've seen Skyla spelled Skyler, Skylar, Schuyler and Skyelar! We tried to find rhyming names but gave up in the end, she does really suit her name and we are both breaking bad fans so win win
