| Did you/do you name your pets in advance? ... or wait until you meet the pet? I am such a name freak. I have no second dog, and no plans for one in the immediate future, but I am always coming up with names I like for my second dog, LOL. Heck, I do it with my future childrens names and those won't come for a while. Hopefully. Random thought- I've been on such a Dennis Quaid kick lately again (watching his movies, etc - I do this with a lot of different actors, go through my phases, LOL!) and started thinking that Quaid could be a kind of cool dog name and really unique. I like unique names that you won't hear at the dog park much, if ever. I also am a last name for first name type person... like, I've always loved the names Tanner, Carter, Walker, Parker, etc. Do you think Quaid is kind of stupid though? Honestly? I can't decide if I'd be embarrassed saying it out loud or not, hahaha. I think it's kind of cool *shrugs* like a male version of Quinn or something. Am I the only weirdo that has a list of future dog names saved, with... well, no second dog for a while?

| I think that would be a cool name for a dog. I don't plan my future dogs names in advance but when I decide to get a pet I think of a million names before I find my furbutt!

| I think Quaid would be cute....it'd be easy to say it in an angry voice...Quaid!! but might be kinda hard in a mushy gushy voice...Qua-aid!! I like out of the norm names, don't know what I was thinking naming her Princess...yeah, because no one ever names any pet that! But to go along with it, if I ever do get another, I want a girl and she just might be named Duchess. That would also feed into my obsession with old English history. I also like Luna a lot (from Luna Lovegood on Harry Potter). But I don't plan on another baby-baby for many years, and if I find a rescue in the meantime, I hope it's already named.

| I think Quaid and Quinn are both cute names. We did name Chachi and Jewels in advance but we had more than one name picked out so if the name we chose didnt fit them when they got here and saw their personality we could chose the name that most fit them. My 10 yr old daughter named Jewels and all our cats when they were kittens she did a good job too they all have super cute names.

| I didn't plan Levi's name at all...he came with it, responded to it, and I liked it. So easy. I'll occasionally hear a name I like and think "Nice dog name!" but I don't really have any names planned for future dogs. If/when I decide to add another pet, I'm sure I'll become obsessive about what names I like. I don't think Quaid is a stupid name for a dog at all! I like that it's a little different.

| I have lists with names I like, but I didn't name Chase or Calvin. The breeder named them, and they just fit so well that we didn't change them. It didn't hurt that Chase and Calvin were on my list's |

| I did not name Minnie til we got her. She was the runt of the litter and so tiny. It did not take long for her to be given her name at all. It sure fits her. |

| I always pick a name in advance and end up changing it by the time I get the pet for some reason. Although, I didn't think of the name 'Marley' until after I got her.

| My planned name did not work when I found Max. It didn't fit him. I picked my boys' names after seeing pictures and decided they were right when I met them in person. Max's name evolved from Maximus to Maximo after an Italian neighbor mispronounced it, and dad and I decided we liked it. The name Quaid would be neat, but I would worry about possibly regretting it if the person did something I didn't like.

| We have always named our animals after we actually met them in person, even if they weren't coming with us that day but we always seem to have names in mind to choose from as soon as we have seen a picture or something.

| I had my personal perfect dog name picked out in my head long beforehand, back when I was just considering that I wanted a dog. But, after getting Snickers, it seemed the name I had always wanted did not suit him at all. It took me a week to figure out what did. I had thought of the name Snickers during that time and then one day, two little girls from the neighborhood walked by and said, "He looks like his name should be Snickers!" Since I'd thought of it too, I thought that must be the one. I called him "Snickers" and immediately reacted it the word as if he already knew it was his name. Now, everyone who sees him and asks his name always comments that he looks like a Snickers.
