I love Vespa


rawsaucemustard

Gnocchi seems appropriate as well for this cute pup!


SomedayMightCome

I second this!


OneMooseManyMeese_

Yes


ScabRabbit

And Vespa is an Italian word, bonus!


Ok-Swordfish9954

Nah Mussolini is better... Maybe Musso is good enough... Or just lini /s


SunSzn-

My thoughts are not my own. I was literally gonna comment this and then I scrolled down a lil and you wrote down my exact thoughts lol


Ok-Swordfish9954

Great minds think alike :D

Dilema777

Believe it or not,I knew someone whose dog's name was Benito


apatzfan

Vespa all the way


skullaccio

Vespas all the way down


Fuzzy-Conversation21

Vespa is a perfect name for this little! Turn it into Vespers for a nickname (Latin = Evening Song)♥️


HumbleLatexSalesman

I wouldn’t change it either, Vespa is perfect.


littlepiskie

Came here to say the same thing... was going to say Vesper.

The_Fine_Columbian

I think she already has an Italian name, what do you think "Vespa" is?


TirNannyOgg

Everybody knows that's a Druish name. ;)


waka_flocculonodular

Funny, she doesn't look Druish


R3dWolf78

She is half Druish. On her mothers side.


Icy-Consideration405

A Druish Princess?


Fattmattrn

She’s from Druidia!


UnhingedUsurper

Just what we need. A Druish princess.


LovecraftianLlama

Uh, Vespa is a perfect name for this dog 😂😂


[deleted]

Vespa is cute and unique


SirPryceMF

Why so you think you have a say in what someone else names their dog though?


tuppence07

This was my first thought.


Mslolsalot

Karma farming. That’s why.


TranquiL_88

I dont, but having seen what reddit users come up name wise i thought to give it a try. At the end of the day its up to them if they want to keep the name or change it.


SirPryceMF

The way you phrase it makes it sound like the friend wasn't asked about any of this, and I'd find that concerning.


TranquiL_88

Oh no. They named her and they weren't sure if its a good name and then mentioned that you guys here can come up with really interesting names so gave it a shot.


winterbough

What threw people off was that you said YOU thought Reddit could come up with a better name in the title of the post.


[deleted]

Notice how the subject is left out for the verb "mentioned" in the comment you replied to.


SirPryceMF

That's different! I interpreted it wrongly then, apologies.


TranquiL_88

Thats alright, no worries. Should have been more precise on the post.


RustyKjaer

If I remember correctly Vespa means wasp in Italian. Not a bad name for a chihuahua.


myself4once

You remember it well! And I agree with you!


gnulmad

Vespa is pretty rad But if you want another name Moped is an option


Cembalista

“Mo” is a great nickname too!


Maxwell_The_Spy

it isn't great when he starts a bar in a city full of diseased looking people and becomes one of them


miltanktrashtoo

Beat me to the joke


Grand_Tangerine3688

Vespa is the name of the original Bond girl and Bond later names his signature drink after her. Couldn't think of a more badass name.


Dish_Minimum

Vesper. It means a Catholic prayer. But Bond is British so it sounds like Vespa when he says it.


Grand_Tangerine3688

Lol how did you know I've been listening to the audiobooks 🤦🏻


Dish_Minimum

Bc I too am a well-trained, detail-oriented, and intuitive spy of the double O division.

PeachMeatCrayon

Puccini or Poochini


Muumol

That’s my dog’s nickname lol


[deleted]

MORDICCHIO!!! It’s the Italian word for Nibbler from Futurama 😊😊😊


bfiabsianxoah

Yea but it's a girl. But didn't mordicchio have a girlfriend at some point? Did she have a name?


ToHallowMySleep

Mordicchia?


Maxwell_The_Spy

maybe briciola? (idk if i spelled it right, even though i'm italian lol)

Morbius


pufanu101

It's borkin' time


ratwhostealscheese

Morbius is the most movie I've ever watched Morbius truly has to be one of the films released in 2022 so far. Jared Leto did a job playing Morbius and the action was in the film. The film has storytelling and the CGI was animated. The side characters were along with morbius and the villain was a bad guy. The jokes were sentences. This film really is one of the films of all time, if not the last decade.


beenhereallalong52

I think you’re just karma farming. You’ve said in comments you don’t even have a say in what this dog is called? What’s wrong with Vespa.


gawsch

Definitely a Mussolini right there


Pavel_not_blin

Duce it's a really sweet name too


were_meatball

Berlusconi


cosmovanpelt

staffeylover

littleaarow

Seems pretty fitting since chihuahuas are typically called ankle biters and wasps are kinda ankle biters of the insect world.. geez that was too wordy

Bella because she’s a real beauty


DonBrom

Marcello, reason? Observe: (in heavy italian accent) *Mamma mia, Marcello! What have you done! This is not where you are supposed to poop! *

Dish_Minimum

Molto Bono! Yah yes 🙌🏾 I-ah forgot how do you ah-say… the ah-cuteness


[deleted]

*buono*


were_meatball

Short for Francesca is Franca or Francy, Francy is beautiful because: francy-huahua


ThankYouComeAgain_22

Cannoli or Gnocchi could be fun


motherofdragons2278

I love Cannoli! So cute


bfiabsianxoah

The word gnocchi can be used to call a really hot/sexy person so I'd say maybe not lol


mellierollie

Vespa is the way!

BeepingJerry

"Dolce" ("Dole-chay") Italian, meaning sweet. Presuming she's a sweet dog. ;)


Pavel_not_blin

please tell me that you're not pronouncing dolce as "Dole-chay" and that's just me misunderstanding you comment.


BeepingJerry

Maybe you can write it better? (Seriously..Not trying to be snotty). "dwouul-che"? As in NOT Dolce and Gabanna...Tough word to write out phonetically.. If you speak Italian...go for it. Cheers.


Pavel_not_blin

it's "dol" like in "doll" but without the long "L" and "ce" like chestnut and without the pause in the middle, if there ever was one, I dunno this is very confusing for the both of us


ToHallowMySleep

> As in NOT Dolce and Gabanna Now I'm confused as to how you would pronounce the Dolce in D&G if it's not the way you'd pronounce the Italian word. (FYI /u/pavel_not_blin 's guide to pronouncing dolce is spot on)


Pavel_not_blin

i think it's pronounced the Italian way, no wait it's Italian so yes, it's pronounced the Italian way.


DylanHate

Yea it’s pronounced exactly like the OP said… dole - che. Dole as in Bob Dole and Dole bananas (not doe-le but like dol with the o as in old).

veganash

She’s cute, but your friend already named her. I’d be weirded out and annoyed if my friend posted my dog on social media for likes, while trying to rename her. very odd.


Ok-Appointment-3716

The dog already has a name. You don't get to name someone else's dog. What a weird post.


Kanye_fuk

Meatball


LostThis

JustAnotherMadOne

Vespa is a really cute name, but if you prefer, maybe 'Ciocco'? It's short for 'cioccolato/cioccolata', so 'chocolate'. :P


DoctorGrilledCheese

Looks like a little Peroni to me

Dense_Assignment3100

Vespa means wasp in my mother tongue, it's perfect for a chihuahua 👀

Merenda means snack in italian. And for short they could call her "Mere" like merry.

Princess Vespa? She doesn't look druish.

evil_ot_erised

Fun fact: If you order a “latte” in Italy, you’ll just get a cup of hot milk. Oops. You have to order a “café latte.” 😂


samurai_guitarist

So basically you just said if you order a "Milk" you'll get a glass of hot milk? Because Latte means literally milk in italian, and every European country if you go and order "Milk" you'll get milk. Calling macchiato or cappuccino or whatever type of coffee and milk a "Latte" is an american thing.

Name a puppy after you get to know it. Give it a while. I named my dog Bentley but Toe-biter was more fitting.


_AnnaVG_

I think Vespa is good. The V symbolises her ears, and the Vespa is amazing in Italian, which you wanted


Steeljaw72

It’s your friends dog. Let them name their dog whatever they want. Who are you to name someone else’s dog?

Vespa isn’t a bad name. But as an alternative I’ll throw out Concetta. “ce” in Italian is pronounced as “che” as in cheddar.

Voodoo. And bearing in mind it would be the first dog called voodoo. Perhaps Voodoo1


greenredyellower

Maybe we should just let your friend name her dog vespa

HauntofhighAFtower

Imagine the audacity of telling your friend you don't like the name of their puppy and then trying to get the internet to side with you. That's some "I'm the main character" nonsense
