| RIP to my Troy but he was named after Troy Bolton (Zach Efron's character from High School Musical). My daughter picked the name because at the time she was only 6 and that was what she was into. After Troy's passing we went through scenarios of what kind, sex, names of dogs and Emma was the name for a female dog we were considering. I actually didn't go with that breed of dog but when I got notice that we were getting a little female yorkie, I told the breeder Emma since that's what we agreed on. It was a few weeks before we were going to bring her home but when I pulled up (surprised) my daughter with the puppy she was like what's her name. I say Emma and she just looks and smiles.

My Yorkie rescue Teek, he is so slow on walks too. It is hard to walk him with the puppies because he is a little old man on walks, but play with him and he will run around like crazy.

| I've thought about changing it since I was a kid, believe me! But I never could think of anything better. I want a unique name but not crazy weird. You'd think that Priscilla is unique right? But three other girls in my class in HS had the same name, and one even had the same last name off by one letter! And she was in my math class too! And then the Facebook wife, I have her exact same name! I think it is the age of our parents, who grew up listening to Elvis. Everyone loved Priscilla Presley and thought her name was so original and unique. I don't really have nicknames other than a shortened version of my name either Scilla or Pris, which only one friend calls me that and she came up with both. I don't have a middle name either bc my parents didn't give me one, just an initial that doesn't stand for anything and, yes it's also a P! WTH. Oh yeah, my parents didn't even come up with the name. My aunt thought of it but she had a boy (he's 3 mo older than me) so my mom used it. She didn't even think of a name for me. And we do call Toto many different names. Mostly Turtle but then we shorten it to Turd (LOL) or Turd Man. Then Twinkles/Twankles, and Shrimpy Eyes (bc his eyes are so big and sparkly, he really looks like he has shrimp eyes). He responds to all of them.

| We were riding home from our trip to get him and he just looked so cute and furry that I thought about Mickey Mouse so he became Mickey that quickly.

| I thought that 'Teddy' would be an original name ...hahaha! My dad thought the same thing about my name when naming me so we were both wrong..must be inherited! As far as his full name, Sir Rupert Teddykins, it sounded pretentious and made me laugh cuz my boy is anything but show quality pretentious and he's such a clown. So, the irony alone makes me laugh and that's how his name came to be! Fun thread. |

YT 2000 Club Donating Member | I named Razz official name Sir Razzle Dazzle. Mostly because of his personality and I wanted an agility dog. He has lived up to his name! Hubby named our senior boy Magic - when we were on the way to pick him up at 8wks old. We had debated names - and it was on our trip to London that he said Magic. The name rang a bell in my heart and I knew it was just right for him. And he is magic for sure! I named our youngest lass Dara. I am not quite sure why - but every time I saw her pic I thought what a *darling* she is. Her registered name is something different that means Warrior Princess. And if I had met her in person I might have called her - Bang or Boom. For a fleet lass she can be the literal elephant in the china shop... In the early puppy days I might have called her LUNGS. lmao Oh my did she keep me up nights! Karma our cat RIP beloved I named and it fit him to a T. Zoey our lass RIP hubby named for reasons that I am not really sure of. But it was his turn to name one of our dogs and there you go.

We always thought of him to be this really old English aristocrat but looks really bad. With probably a monocle too. He walked with a limp so we called him McLimpybottom. I guess the Mc would have made him Irish, but whatever. Montgomery sounds like an old English dude to me too. Then we just kept adding on and on.

| I wanted to name Lola Luna after Luna Lovegood from Harry Potter, but my mom and grandmom harassed me so much about it. I ended up naming her Lola after the Kinks song because I like the way they say Lola, La-la-la-la Lola la-la-la-la Lola. My poodle was Roxanne after the Police song because I liked how they said her name too. I still love the name Luna, but Lola suits her better. |

haha that's cute ... Teddy is actually English..we got him from Gloucestershire so that's where 'Sir' and 'Rupert' came from.. As you can see below (we took this pic about 20 minutes ago), he is certainly no Lord and looks like a rejected Knight hahaha: | |

| I love reading how everyone's pups were named. I had picked out the name Winston for Winston Churchill, and was going to use the nickname Winnie meaning friend. Dad looked at the photo of my puppy to be and named him Max, because he looked intense. I approved if it could be short for Maximus for the 'Gladiator' character. That turned into Massimo or Maximo. We combined it with his puppy litter name: Rolls Royce Maximo. Teddy was originally Tank. We renamed him for Teddy Roosevelt: Theodore Rex, the title of the popular biography. He loves the outdoors and loves life.

Senior Yorkie Talker | Names + Nick Names One of my first Yorkies, came with the name Abby, which I liked, but after a while, I don't know why, but I started calling her Boo Doggie, she answers to either name. My husband named the lastest Yorkie Chloe, which I also like, but I also call her Bobo, she also answers to both names. I guess I just like cute little nick names. |

| CHEETOS?!! Is that a Cheetos box? My guilty pleasure! I haven't bought any in quite some time. I may have to get some tomorrow.

| IDK, Tibbe's name just sort of appeared in my mind's eye once I got him in the car on the way home and he seemed happy to answer to it. Never had heard the name before but it was just there in my mind once I saw him. He's such a Tibbe!

| After we lost our Yorkie who was named Barkley (as in Sir Charles) my favorite NBA player, I did not want another Yorkie. I was so devastated I didn't think I could bear to look at the same little face again. My husband insisted on another Yorkie, I wanted a Biewer. We compromised, we got one of each! What to name them? I wanted one named Scotti and the other Pippen after Scotti Pippen (NBA Chicago Bulls). My son, also an NBA person refused to call them by those names. So for weeks we text each other constantly with names that just didn't work. About three weeks after we had them I showed my husband how our little biewer kept stealing our yorkie's toys. I said "he is a real little bandit". Just at that moment my phone binged. I received a text from my son that said "how about Smokey and the Bandit?" And so it goes...they were named. Oh and BTW, my son said if we get a third puppy his name must be Junior!!!! |
