High-Brow Explanation: To say "high-browed" gives it a slightly archaic literary flair. As a name, better without the -ed ending. Keep the hyphen, so it's less similar to "highbrow" in the sense of snobbish. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 3 hrs (2015-06-16 16:18:50 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Now that you've revealed he's a wolf, one wants to think of a name with a pun in it in English, but none comes to mind right away. Will keep thinking. Meanwhile, his being a wolf doesn't make me want to abandon this suggestion. Wolves, and highly intelligent wolf-related dogs like the one who lives with us, definitely have a brow. I don't think I can put a picture within this note, but maybe I'll temporarily take the little bear off duty in my profile photo and put my high-browed dog there for a few hours. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 8 hrs (2015-06-16 20:55:47 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- By the way, there are lots of lists of literary wolf names available. http://www.20000-names.com/wolf_names.htm 0 Who knew, for example, that "Ralph" and "Raoul" derive from "wise wolf"? http://www.20000-names.com/wolf_names.htm - This list suggests a couple of names that could be used as base-words. For example, "Silver" has been used for wolves in literature. You could make it "Silver-Bright," with "bright" denoting intelligence. Or "Sky" could become "Sky-Wolf," denoting the height of a high brow. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_fictional_wolves - Lists of wolf names in literature, movies and video games, so you can check the existing connotations of any one you might choose. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 1 day5 hrs (2015-06-17 18:26:32 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Sofia, the bear has returned to my profile photo. If you would like to look at the high forehead (brow) of my wolf-dog again, please let me know. |
