So What Happened?

Yes Loki is the Norse God of mischief. He is Thor's brother in Norse mythology, and of course the Avengers.
We are calling him Lohkee I changed the spelling because it was much more about the sound of the name than the actual name itself. Meeko, and Yoshi, were other names we considered. Sparrow was a combination of Spirit (my 10 year old) and Arrow (from the movie The Point) thanks Ladies!

I like Loki (or low-key or lohkee). It's not like you have to worry about people mispronouncing a dog's name - other than maybe the vet. :)

My cousin had a dog named Miko (me-koh), and I always liked that as well. He has since passed, so the name is freed up (jk).

Sparrow sounds like a girl dog name.

I like Sparrow. Loki sounds too close to the vaginal discharge you get when pregnant.

I'm with B, god of mischief sounds cute, but the actual mythology puts Loki closer to Satan's role in the Christian bible.
I like Thor, Odin, Agir, Baldir, Orm, or Freyr/Frey if you are going with Norse mythology.

Loki! I saw your SWH and that would fit a wonderful Golden Retriever. I had a Golden and LOVED her but she was very smart and could be very mischevious.

We had a dog we called Loki. We ended up having to put him to sleep. He turned out to be a bad dog. Miss that little guy.
