We got our boy first and we decided to call him BJ. My son's name is JD. And I just like initials like that. So BJ it was. Then we got BJ's sister so he could have a playmate and my hubby named her Lil' Ann after the movie "Where the red fern grows". He says he wished he knew that we would have gotten a second one cause we would have called them Dan and Lil' Ann in the movie "Where the red fern grows . A little boy gets two dogs and calls them Dan and Lil' Ann. Great movie by the way
