I just got a new dog, and it is a brindle colored Boxer. My husband says it looks like a tiger. We are trying to find a unique name. Can someone tell me the Gealic word for tiger, or striped?
Thanks

Yep, "tiger" is "tiogar" -> sounds like the name of the Winnie The Pooh character.
"Striped" is "riabhach" , but maybe "Riabhán" might work? It would mean "striped one." REE-uh-vawn |

They "ach" at the end of riabhach is like the "ey" on th end of "stripey". However, Riabhán is better as it means "stripey thing/anything that is stripey". It's better, trust me. "Tá an saol mór lán den fhilíocht ag an té dar dual a thuigbheáil agus ní thráfaidh an tobar go deo na ndeor."
