Enna's name

Lately I've been thinking a lot about names, mostly because John and I plan on getting another dog (I know you think we're crazy, but if your house had been broken into twice you'd be considering a guard dog too). John is pretty set on a name he likes for a male, but I keep suggesting names for females since we can't agree on what gender we want.

I also have been reading The Lost Hero (on my kindle, more to come on that later) for my book club. It's all about Greek mythology and is written by the same author the wrote the Percy Jackson series (that I've never read). I love Greek mythology and know a lot about it so it's no surprise that Enna's name comes from it.

When John and I got confirmation that we were getting our first puppy we went to work trying to decide the perfect name. We wanted something Alaskan for obvious reasons but we wanted the name pronounced correctly and that was a task. We looked up name after name and loved how we pronounced them, but when we went to the Alaskan translation sites the name changed drastically. We were having a hard time finding a name we liked.
We decided that we needed to go another another way and veered over to geek mythology. I didn't want anything that was to recognized so we went to the main gods children. Persephone drew our attention, she's the Greek goddess of Spring (also Hades wife, but ignore that fact) and with our puppy coming to us on the first day of spring we thought that fit well. Persephone is also deemed Kore or Kora. Kora was the name for our dear puppy.

Kora didn't last long with us and when we were told we'd get her sister we knew we'd be having another hard time picking a name. Persephone doesn't have a sister, that would have made it too easy, so we dove into the myth even deeper, we wanted the pups to have correlating names.
In the myth Persephone is carried off from a field by Hades. The field is different in various local traditions, the Sicilians believed that Pluto (Hades) found her in the meadows near Enna. We had found our name, we're also probably pronouncing it wrong, but by this we didn't care.
Also Enna's registered name is 'PR' H.O.T. Enna's love for Kora, we definitely wanted to remember our first puppy and her sister and that was a perfect way to do so.
So that's our little Enna's name. Pretty interesting, I think.

For an update on Enna's pregnancy. We're still not sure if she even is. She's either 6 or 7 weeks along depending on what breeding stuck and I saw pictures of other dogs as far along as she's suppose to be and they were FAT. Enna looks the same as always. I was pretty convinced that she wasn't pregnant, but John called our vet to see what they thought and they said it was still too early to tell since she's a little dog. They say to give it at least one more week and then she really might be showing.
Who knows...we're still playing the waiting game.
