Well, Dinky is a pretty obvious name for a small dog. The truth is we talked about what to name a dog for months before we got him. We had a list of girl names...I liked Sasha, Emmy, so many. Then when we went to see Dinky's sister, we ended up leaving with him instead. My husband is the one who started calling him Dinky. When I thought about it, I realized that his family had named all their dogs with names that ended with the "Kee" sound: Ricky, Jacquie etc. So I figured Dinky went with that tradition, and I went along with it.
It's kind of a silly name, but it suits him, not just because he's small, but he has this silly sweet adorable smile, so a silly adorable name suits him. |
