Ok, I thought it would be cute to find out WHY everyone named their babies the names they did, what do you blame the name on? And it's really weird how you just know it's the perfect name, and they know it too!

We have 5 un-furred kids and Nickelodeon is a staple in our house. We always have SpongeBob or Chowder or something on from that channel.

When we got our little guy, my husband wanted to call him Corky. We tried that for about a week but boy, it never fit him and it was hard to roll off the tongue. My 14 year old daughter was playing with him one day and she said, I think we should name him Chowder. You could almost hear the audible click as time stood still and the name popped into place perfectly!

Pippin's name came from The Lord of the Rings...Ok, I know the Pippin in the movie was male, but the minute I laid eyes on my little girl, it was like a gong going off in my head-PIPPIN, PIPPIN! I knew it was her name and it is exactly perfect too! When she barks, it's not really a bark, she makes a "pip" sound. The vet couldn't believe it when she did it the first time with him, he said that there was no way we could have picked a more fitting name for her.
