Prince was a birthday present for my daughter at the time, so she named him (he later became very attached to me and was my velcro baby right up until he went to the Bridge)
Pixie, I saw the name and just fell in love with it and vowed if I ever had a female her name would be Pixie
Theo, Prince and Pixie had a little of 3 boys and my daughter named then Alvin, Simon and Theodore (it was either that or huey, dewey and louie) and when Prince passed away the lady (she is a very close friend of mine) who had bought Theo 2 weeks before Prince died, brought him over for me to babysit, when I went to get him out of his kennel there was a note saying she thought I needed him more than she did and therefor she would not be back to pick him up. He had not been registered yet so I was trying to think of a registered name for him and someone came up with "Prince's Special T" call name Theo. It was a nice tribute to Prince.
Romeo, he was born Valentines Day, so he needed a valentiny type name. It could not have been more accurate, he was such a lover boy.
Nya, her name was NY NY by her original owners and I just could not imagine standing outside calling NY NY, being that she was older I did not want a drastic change so I just started calling her Nya and she responded to it. We were told she was 8 when she came into rescue, however after living with her for the past 3 1/2 months we think she is either a very very old 8 or she is more like 10-12, we are convinced of the later. I think maybe the old owner said 8 because he thought it would be easier to get her into rescue if he said she was younger.....
Anyhow that is how my babies got their names, sorry for the novel.....
