From original post: Good Evening,
I just wanted to introduce myself....my name is Amy. I am picking up my little girl tomorrow, I have to drive out of state to get her. We are still considering names...so far we are tossing around Phoebe, Kahula (our lab is named Cognac), Willow and Allegra...any feedback? she is a five month old rescue. This is my first yorkie and first [COLOR=green! important][COLOR=green! important]small [COLOR=green! important]dog[/COLOR][/COLOR][/COLOR] ever. I have a yellow lab and I am curious to hear from other who have bigger dogs how that is working out and how introductions went. I am a little nervous about that. So far you all have been a great resource in answering my many questions! Thank you so much!
Just a couple more thoughts RE: names
1) Has anyone on here (besides me, that is
) ever heard that you shouldn't name your pup anything that rhymes with "NO !" ?!?
e.g., they might confuse their name with your response to an undesireable behavior ?
OR.......
2) Not to name them similar-sounding names, as it might confuse them ?
My wife & I went through this. We named our 1st pup, Gracie, right away, no problem (she liked that name). Six weeks later, we started off calling our 2nd pup "Josie", but we perceived it might be confusing to them because they sounded kinda similar with the "ie" endings. So within a few weeks, her name was changed to "Coco" (which, by the way, my wife obviously over-ruled me on question # 2, above).
I've heard the simpler the name, the better, and that makes sense (as previously posted).
Pardon me for geeking out !!!!
