My father chose Max's name after studying his puppy picture and deciding he needed a strong name. Originally it was going to Maximus for the character in "Gladiator," but after hearing an Italian neighbor call him "Maximo," we went with that.
I chose Teddy's name because he has a real zest for life and loves the outdoors just like Teddy Roosevelt. He is cuddly like a teddy bear and feisty at the same time. I can see him saying "Bully!" just like TR.
