What are some Russian names for both male and female dogs, especially for Siberian huskies (сибирские хаски) or Alaskan malamutes (Аляскинские маламуты)? Thanks! :-)

Please indicate where the stress goes in the name.

Very funny, ha-ha.

Can you explain the joke please? :)

As far as I can see, those are not dogs' but ordinary human names. Of course, some people may call their dogs these names, but that would not be in any way typical.

Oh okay. I got the fact that they seemed to be human names, not typical dog names, but I thought they were famous or well-known Russian people or something. Thanks!

Typical names are LAima, LIka, TAira (female), Ais, BurAn, TumAn, Snezhok (male)

Does Snezhok have anything to do with снег?

[costes.livejournal.com]

Yes, it means "snowball"

I'm not sure there are any names for both male and female dogs. I don't also think that there are special names for Alaskan malamutes and others... but, you know, they are popular in the nothern parts of Russia, and I suppose some people give them names not in Russian like ДружОк, ЛАйма, СнежОк ... but in their own language.
There is also a tendency to give more europen and american names

The most illustrious dog names are:

for a male dog:
шАрик - the small ball. Usually a dog with a rounded tale like the husky.
тУзик - the small ace/small bigwig.
бОбик - the small Bobby. May be also means a gundog (an old simbol of police).
дИк - the wild (dog).
барбОс - the dog with a beard. Usually big dog.

for a female dog:
жУчка - the black dog (black as a beetle).
бЕлка - the white dog.
мОська - the small dog.
каштАнка - the red dog.

Also very good and old name for a male dog is ПолкАн. It comes from the middleaged russian legend.
