We went round and round on naming both of our furgirls. We came up with Emma in the car on the way home from picking her up. I wanted to name her something with "Emerald" in it, because I was born in May, and that's my birthstone. We thought about "Lily" because the flower for May is the Lily of the Valley, but my husband thought that was cheesy. We also wanted something that sounded royal because we knew this little dog was going to be spoiled, so we came up with "Suzy's Emerald Princess", or Emma!
We then decided to get our second yorkie, and liked a few different names-Dori, Milli, Hannah, Pearl...but wanted it to fit with the theme. We decided Hannah was a good person name, but not the best for a dog, and it sounded too much like Emma. So, we started narrowing it down from there, by trying to think of what her AKC name would be. After we saw her, we decided to name her "Suzy's Million Dollar Sapphire" (Milli) since it went with Emma's name well, and Sapphire is my husband's and my mom's birthstone. Sometimes I think we should have named her Suzy's Million Dollar HEADACHE
and I tell Milli that too!
