I think we had Kaba a week before every coming up with a name. My husband and I could not agree on anything. We finally agreed that we wanted a Japanese name since she's a Japanese dog. We looked through Japanese/English Dictionaries. We knew we wanted sometime opposite (big, scary, etc.) and finally found Kaba and liked that it was short and cute. It means Hippo. So now I have my hippo girl! who is all of 4 lbs.

If we get another girl her name is going to be Zo which Elephant.
