I practically renamed Chloe, lol - YorkieTalk.com Forums

Shanatink · 11-18-2007, 11:16 AM

Anyone accidently re-name thier yorkie? I sort of did. Chloe's full name is Chloe Belle and somewhere in mid-summer I started baby talking to Chloe alot and next thing you know I started calling her Chlo-Chlo and Chlo Chlo belle(this all happened somewhere around the time Mz kimmie came to one of our YT meet-ups so Im sort of wondering if I picked this up from her, lol. That's right- I blame Mz Kimmie!

). I really have no idea why I repeat the first sylabel of her name

but I also started calling my Boxer Penny, Pen-Pen

. And its become a really bad habit now and poor Chloe doesnt seem to mind but lately I have even dropped the "L" and started calling her Co-Co Belle which is really like a whole new name. Of course I still call her by her real name too but I have a tendancy to baby talk her a lot and call her by her new nick-name and she is almost 3 years old!
Anyone else accidently give thier baby a new name?

Akhong · 11-18-2007, 11:33 AM

oh boy...I'm guilty of this too!

Out of respect for Tobi though, I won't repeat those names! haha

I have a chihuahua named Tinker Bell but when Paris Hilton got so famous I WISH I could have changed her name. I wanted to change it to Chloe but she's pretty old so I didn't bother. Darn that Paris Hilton! I just didn't want anyone to think she had anything to do with my name choice. Yuck.

I catch myself calling Riley different names sometimes. Lol. I call him Ry Ry most of the time. It just seems like its easier because my boyfriends name is Ryan. His parents call him Ry Ry, so I guess I picked it up for Riley. Lol.

elegntorchid · 11-18-2007, 01:00 PM

Well we call Gypse, Dooda. He is used to it though.

MyFairLacy · 11-18-2007, 01:05 PM

My parents and sister always called Rylie - Rylie Roo. So then when we went to visit, Lacy started getting called Lacy Loo somtimes. So then I found myself calling her LuLu occasionally. So sometimes I call her Lacy, Lacy Lu, or LuLu...among other names like Brat, Baby, Stinker, etc. LOL With Rylie, a lot of times I just call him "Roo"

BubblPopElectrc · 11-18-2007, 01:09 PM

Britney and Brooklyn also respond to being called Mr. B and Mrs. B.

Yes,
I call Chloe everything, including:
Clo
Clo-boat
Clo-mo
Clo-ber-mo
and it has evolved to drop the Clo, and call her
Boat Mo aka The Boat

I think that dogs respond to your tone of voice more than just the name. And she may just be responding to the k sound in Chlo and Co. I call my dogs all sorts of things and they respond to lots of names, but I always use the same tone of voice when addressing them. And they can tell the difference because when I talk to Tina it is at a much higher pitch than when I address Tbone. I used to call Tbone Puppy all the time and he will respond to it, as well as Boner, Mr. Bones, Teebes, and so on...

And whatever I call Tina I usually repeat a few times, so she knows it is her. Teen Teen Teen, Tina Tina Tina, Sweet Sweet Sweet... I started doing that so they could tell the difference between Tbone and Tina. Now I just feel silly because I talk to them in such bizzare ways

labrown · 11-18-2007, 01:19 PM

Oh, and recently Tbone has become Sir Poops a Lot.

SladesMommy · 11-18-2007, 01:19 PM

All of our dogs have practically been renamed.

Schatzie (pronounced Shot-Z) became Schatzie Potzie for awhile, then it gradually changed to Schatzie P, then to just P . Now most of the time we call her "shoty"

With Delaney Jade she has had tons of nicknames... we started out calling her Laney, then it went to Laney Lu, then changed to LuLu which we still call her alot. Funny thing is we also have a dog named Lucy thaat we call Lulu. Laney has also been- LJ, DJ, Lane-o draino, Trouble 007, and tons more.

Slade (Little jack slade of okeechobee hill) gets called Bubba, Chobee, baby boy.

Kbsqueff · 11-18-2007, 01:25 PM

And Hannah I call, chumbinho (little lead weight)
