We got Artie from a Breeder on the Internet - Yorkiebabies.com and she named him "Sir Arthur" on the Advertisement/picture so I kept it because he seemed like a man trapped in a Yorkie's body. His AKC. registered name is Sir Arthur Lee Merlino after our last name.
Abigail is the name of a stuffed Teddy Bear that I got in Hawaii as a gift and every time Artie saw it he went wild since it was mine and it was the only toy he was not allowed to play with. So naturally when we got her last week that's what I named her. And Artie goes wild when he hears her name being called too. Her registered name is Princess Abigail Merlino. Since I got her for him to play/mate with it seemed only natural as a couple they would have the same last names as us? Sounds corny but it has a lot of meaning they are like our children since we don't have any.
