| Naming your Yorkie I thought it might be interesting to hear how everyone came up with their furbaby's name. I'll start. My husband and I could only agree on one name "Brandy" When we picked her up from her breeder, she already came with the name Madison. Her mother was Little Bit O Heaven and her father was Little Toy Soldier. We officially named her Little Brandy Madison, which I think fits her perfectly, even though me mostly just call her Brandy.

| Little Miss Scarlett got her name because I'm a writer and wanted to name her after one of my favorite literary characters. And she's got Miss O'Hara's spunk! |

| The night we brought Chip home we went through hundreds of names for him but nothing really hit us. We had some favorites, but nothing that really stood out, although DH was partial to Chip. We left it as undetermined and that something will come to mind eventually and went to bed. Well, the next day Chip ended up super sick - like almost dead sick (I will spare you the long story) - so DH rushed him to the vet. The vet needed a name for him to register him in the system and DH just told them his name was Chip. When he told me, he said we could change it if we wanted, they just need a name for him for their system. It stuck and we love his name... it suits him well! I can't explain it, but he is such a little Chip! We have several nicknames for him as well. Smokey came to us with the name and we decided to keep it. I know everyone says that dogs will adjust to new names easily, but he had already been through one name change (previous name was Coby) and he had been through so much in his short 6 months and had so many anxiety issues that we didn't want to change anything else and we wanted to focus on the more important things, like making him feel safe, secure, and loved. Smokey seems to suit him too, although we usually shorten it to Moke or Mokey.

| Scoobers was named Scoob at the pound (they thought he was a girl too!) We were still picking names when we got there Milo saw how small scoobers was he was like barely 6 under pounds at thetime and Milo looked at him then back at me and said, it's just a Scoob! It was so cute it stuck, he's a goof ball cluts and it evolved into Scoobers somehow. Elvis came with his name but the kids love Elvis (movies music etc) so when my daughter heard his name she picked him. Princess our mini schnauzer got her name because we already had a jester and a king pkus we had a foster around we nicknamed the queen bee.

| Rachel I always wondered where Joel's name came from! Joel and Benji Madden are from Maryland. I met them a couple of times when I worked for a radio station here I love Joel's hair in the pic

| I am a believer in the grace of God. I was not ever going to have another dog after my 15 year old Shih Tzu passed on. I tried living without a dog for several months and then decided I just couldn't do it. I looked to adopt an adult small breed dog in my area and could not even find one. I kind of stumbled upon Gracie. I did not want a puppy but could not resist her face. I consider having her a unearned gift from God and thus the name: Gracie. |

| Max was going to be a Winston, Winnie, but my father renamed him because of his intensity. Then the name was going to be "Maximus Decimus Meridius" for Russel Crowe's Gladiator. Our Italian neighbor pronounced it Maximo, and it stuck and we combined it with his breeder's given name. Teddy is named after Teddy Roosevelt because he loves the outdoors and has a zest for life.

| When we got Mandie, her name was Sophie. My dear hubby thought that was too "fancy" for us country bumpkins. lol So, we started throwing out names of females in our lives past and present. He had a friend in high school named Mandy. Then, he gave me a choice of Mandy or Candy. I chose Mandy (spelled it with an "ie") out of those. She doesn't have a documented middle name but I call her Mandie Jean. My sheltie mix (Mandie's older brother) got his name from my dad's name - Shelby...and Dale Earnhardt. (black car and he is a black and white sheltie mix). Sooo..Shelby-Dale lol
