I love these stories!!!!!
I spent quite awhile on websites trying to come up with a good name. I was going to name her Mackenzie, after a girl at Rice who died in a car crash.. She had a scholarship dedicated in her name and I won it, so I thought it would be a good one...
But I knew I had to keep it short, and that I don't call ANY of our animals by their acutal names... Indy=Inny, Libby=Libbers, Charlie the cat=chucky... so I wanted something cute that I could play around with. The breeeder told us that she would come to "honey", so we wanted an "EE" sound at the end of her name. I liked Roxy because it had a little kick to it. She's the alpha female, so it fits perfectly.
Although she barely gets called "Roxy". It's either Rox, Roxer, or Roxy Dox!!!! |
