Thanks everyone for your suggestions. I guess it is (may be) Sundog, taken from my absolutely favorite book store which is app. 1,000 miles from where I live.

I recognized that pic as soon as I saw it & though "Perfect choice - Sundog!" (I live not far from Seaside...)

I need help naming my Kindle too!  I don't want to just settle on something - it has to be perfect.  Thinking something with a K since Kindle starts with K and so does my first name...  but I want something unique and pretty.  Any ideas?

Kaki

I had a friend named Kaki way back when I was about 6 years old. I haven't thought of her in years and her name just popped into my head when I read your post!

My aunt's name is Keiko.  (We called her "Kay")

Oh oh oh!!  I did a search on k names after I posted and saw this:
Keiko : KIGH-koh : japanese "adored one"

Then I came back here and saw Betsy's post!  Keiko it is!!  My "adored one"!  PERFECT!!!!

 

[Betsy the Quilter]

Great name!! (but of course I'm biased, I love my Aunt Kay).

Interesting that it says it's pronounced KIGH-ko.  We always pronounced it KAY-ko.  Maybe she anglicized it....  I never knew it meant "my adored one."

Miles O'Brien's wife was Keiko on Star Trek Deep Space 9.  They pronounced it Kay-Ko

Meemo, so where are you? I envy you -- 'cept maybe in hurricane season. I've got some of Seaside and the beach here. My condo is full of shells, sand, bottles of gulf water, a pelican feather, etc., etc. It does look kinda like a Florida beach cottage -- everything but the view!

But then Sausalito is for sale!

 

[Kirstin]

That's funny about pronunciation....   "Kay-Ko" reminds me also of the Whale from Free Willy so I'll probably pronounce it that way myself.

How about Florida?  That way you will always have Florida with you.

I'm in Niceville - about 30 minutes away. I can live with hurricane season - it's cold weather I can't handle!
