  Hi there!
A very big welcome to the site.  I have found it so friendly and helpful and I am sure you will too.   
I did not name Tootsy.  She was given to me by someone who rescued her from a difficult situation, where she was not been cared for correctly.  She was underweight, ill, extremely anxious, and inclined to snap.  What a difference in her today!! She is such a happy, friendly and loving little cutie who never snaps.  We just adore her and she is spoiled dreadfully, I'm afraid.  She has really changed our lives for the better.  
With regard to the name, when I was walking Tootsy, I met a lady with her dog who was also a Tootsy!  It is not a very common name, I agree.  You must tell us all about your Tootsie.   
Hugs, Yvonne
