Jesse or Lena?


Well, it happened again. We got another puppy. A cute little girl that we got from Sunnifa's parents. She is a Siberian Husky. Eleven weeks old. Nineteen pounds.

The problem is that we can't decide on a name. We've narrowed it down to either Jesse or Lena. Now we need your help.

We've decided to let you pick her name. Just click on "comments" below and let us know what you think her name should be. Voting is open until 10pm ADT on Tuesday, October 14.

A little history as to why Jesse or Lena.

Jesse. All of my (our) dogs get named after baseball players. If I get a puppy, I look up a list of ballplayers that share the same DOB as the pup. In this case, it is Jesse Stovall.

Lena. This morning, Sunn found herself calling the puppy "Lena". For no real reason. After the fourth or fifth time, we thought that maybe we should reconsider the pup's name. Plus, the pup's mother's name is Kikkan. A good Scandinavian name. As is Lena. BTW, she would be named after William "Lena" Styles.

So again, please vote. Help this poor little puppy in the picture get a name.

Thank you.

PS ~~ she is Sasha's great-granddaughter.

She must be Jessie...Lena was a crazy 4th grader I knew when I was teaching - unless she has such tendencies, Jessie is much more fitting... ;) -leslie

Big fan of Lena. It's a name of a big river in Yakutia (pt of Siberia). I had lobbied for it for our daughter's name, but Donna preferred the more conventional Leah instead.

I believe I'm late but they had to mush the ballort box in from Old Crow. I vote Lena! Jessie's off the island!

Adorable!!!!!! I'm partial to Lena because we have a Lena. Sometimes it's Lean-Lean, sometimes it Lee-Lee which makes her sound Chinese. Joanne
