Using Milacek

Hello,
Yes, "Miláček" is a good name, if you like it
. It means "Darling" as far as I know. Dictionary.com says "Schatzi" means "Treasure".
In Czech we treat the words "Darling" and "Treasure" in a similar way.* (in romantic relationships)
*"Můj poklade" = "My treasure" is a little bit outdated in my opinion, but it is correct.

That's true in a Czech-speaking environment, but if cbass902 isn't in a Czech-speaking environment, it won't matter because no-one (except, hopefully, the dog) will understand. (I wonder if cbass902 knows about the vocative case ending, and if the dog speaks Czech? .)
.)Thank you all for your responses so far. My apologies. I suppose a little more information in the initial posting could have possibly helped with some context. We are in the USA and not in a significant(that I know of) Czech community. I see how this could cause a few heads to turn in some situations. The puppy is only 8 weeks old; so she only speaks eat, drink, and play so far😁. I know nothing of the Czech language. As I understand it, this is usually a term of endearment and not used as a formal name. However, I was looking for something that fit her Czech line and that most people here wouldn't use. We were thinking of using Mila for everday use. Again, thank you for your input so far and I look forward to any other opinions and suggestions.
I agree it might sound unusual, but it is a good name like any other. A name "Anna" (or "Anička") might be betterZdravím Vás, EM
Sorry, but in that case would be better even "Kikina" (small dog of warrant officer Arazím from TV series "Četnické humoresky")I agree it might sound unusual, but it is a good name like any other. A name "Anna" (or "Anička") may be better
. Name "Anička" for Working German Shepherd? Really? I don't know, with regard to this particular race…Anička it's better name for cow, like "Jitka" from movie "Na samotě u lesa" My friend has a dog, whose name is "Anička". There is nothing wrong about it.Sorry, but in that case would be better even "Kikina" (small dog of warrant officer Arazím from TV series "Četnické humoresky")
Okay, I just don't think it's a good name for Working German Shepherd, that's all
. It's mainly matter of opinion, anyway

1) name your dog as you see fit
2) I believe it is better when dog's name is short and contains S or some other distinctive sound, so Mila might be slightly suboptimal, but again, 1)
name your dog as you see fit
btw. how are you going to pronounce Miláček? mila-czech?
3) to a Czech ear this is not too good a name for a female dog, as the word itself is masculine. Simply using Mila/Dear solves this nicely. Other options that come to my mind: Zlata/Goldie (also used in Schatz meaning), maybe even Láska/Love.
