It reminded me of a husky and wolf so I wanted an alaskan name that meant wolf and I loved the pronunciation of the name after I found it. personally I wanted the pronunciation for Tikaani because my chihuahua looks like a wolf in the face with light grey and white hair with a dark gray stripe down its face and around it’s eyes and blue eyes.

Someone must have let Walkie at the department pick that one, because it makes me think of what it'd be like naming a horse 'Glue.' :p I couldn’t help but notice that ANCL suggested negiliq for a name.

As an Alaskan novellist and performer (ie I am an Alaskan who writes and performs thriller novels & audio books set in Alaska) I have a great use for the information you've got here. Being able to properly pronounce something dialectic is crucial for the setting, and your work here is very helpful. Thanks. Enlightening blog.
