Gracie -- I wanted "Lolly" (apparently a French name - knew someone named Lolly once), hubby and son HATED Lolly, so they suggested Gracie and that was that. She-devil might have been more appropriate!!lol Actually, Diva would have been perfect.
Carly -- I wanted "Lolly" or "Harlow" (but she definitely wasn't a Harlow type), again "Lolly" was veteo'ed then I decided on Lily - but oh no, one of our daughters said, "no, if I have a girl I want to name her Lilly, so you can't name one of your dogs, Lilly.
I said, whatever --- son and another daughter picked "Carly" for the kid's show: "I Carly"
Harlow --- again, Lolly or Harlow, son and hubby said,"anything but Lolly"
Izzy --- Her name was Bella and she knew it, so I thought how about Issabella, and eventually drop the bella portion because --- hmmm, daughter has a cat named "Bella" and of course, it was unacceptable to her for us to keep the dog's name "Bella" - can't have two bellas in the family (despite daughter living across the state!!) and of course "Issabella" is another name she wants for a future child - so Issabella, shortened to "Izzy"
Uno (since sold, now renamed Charlie by his new owners) --first born of the litter
Dos -- second born of the litter.
Think I'll ever have a "Lolly" ??? lol
